CONFAST 1/4 in x 1-1/4 in Hammer Drive Nail in Anchor - Permanent Hold

In this review of the CONFAST 1/4 in x 1-1/4 in Hammer Drive Nail in Anchor, the bottom line is simple: this boxed set of 100 anchors is designed for contractors, maintenance crews, and DIYers who need a fast, permanent fix for concrete, block, or brick. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of consistent sizing and dependable hold strength - the anchor diameter matches the hole size so drilling is straightforward, and once installed the fastener is effectively permanent, which reduces rework for applications where a lasting hold matters.

Key Features

• Consistent hole sizing: The anchor diameter equals the hole diameter so installers can pick a 1/4 in carbide bit and expect a reliable fit each time.
• Versatile base materials: Designed for use in concrete, block, and brick, making it useful across common masonry jobs.
• Pack quantity: Every box contains 100 pieces, which lowers the need for repeated purchases on larger jobs and keeps spares on hand.
• Permanence of fastening: Once the hammer drive nail is set, the fastener cannot be removed, delivering a very secure anchoring solution for long-term fixtures.
• ZAMAC construction: The anchor body is made from ZAMAC, offering corrosion resistance and predictable performance in dry environments.

Who It's For

These anchors suit tradespeople and homeowners attaching items like metal cleats, ledger plates, or 2x4 plates to masonry where a permanent, high-hold connection is required. The set is especially convenient for jobs that require repeating the same anchor size many times, since all 100 pieces are the same 1/4 in diameter and 1-1/4 in length.

Those who need removable or adjustable fasteners, or who work in consistently wet or corrosive environments, should look elsewhere. Also, if your project requires an anchor with a larger embedment depth than 3/4 in for higher shear loads, choose a longer or different anchor type.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable hold strength reported by users, with anchors that do not loosen over time.
• Easy installation process: drill a 1/4 in hole with a carbide bit then set with a hammer drive.
• Good value and workability due to the 100 pieces per box and consistent sizing.

Cons

• Permanent fastening means the anchor cannot be removed without damage, limiting reuse or adjustments.
• Intended for dry environments only, so not suitable for continuous outdoor exposure in wet conditions.
