Where drop-in anchors are used
Because the anchor sits flush with the surface and takes a standard metric bolt or threaded rod, contractors use it wherever a fixing has to be removable or hidden: machine bases, handrail and railing posts, steel brackets, and fixtures hung from concrete slabs. For overhead hangers, see the ZARA Tools Ceiling Anchor; for a heavy hex-head fixing, see the Fixed Bolt (sleeve anchor).
Drop-in anchor FAQ
What is a drop-in anchor used for?
It gives you a flush, internally threaded fixing point in concrete, stone or solid brick, so you can bolt machinery, railings, brackets and fixtures to it and remove them later.
How do I install a drop-in anchor?
Drill a hole of the correct size for the anchor, clean out the dust, drop the anchor in so it sits flush, drive the expander with the setting punch, then screw in a bolt or threaded rod of the same metric size.
Which sizes does ZARA Tools supply?
