Hollow Wall Anchor Setting Tool
Hollow wall anchor setting tools are specifically designed to ensure proper expansion and secure installation of metal hollow wall anchors—commonly called molly bolts—in drywall, plasterboard, and hollow masonry materials. By using a setting tool, installers can fully expand the anchor’s wings behind the wall, guaranteeing maximum holding strength and preventing anchor rotation, misalignment, or partial expansion.
These tools allow for smooth, controlled setting without overtightening or damaging the wall surface. Ideal for high‑volume installations or professional use, hollow wall anchor setting tools help achieve consistent, reliable anchor performance every time.
