What is Wall Anchor Gun?

Wall anchor gun is a tool to expanding the hollow wall achors(also named as Molly Bolt) once they are in place.

Wall anchor gun is also named as molly bolt gun or molly bolt setting tool

What is Wall Anchor or Molly Bolt?

Molly bolts are a type of hollow wall anchor made for drywall and plaster walls. They are used when you don't have a stud in the wall at the precise location you want to hang something.
These anchors have a metal sleeve that flares out against the inside of the wall to evenly distribute the weight and hold your mounted item tight to the drywall.

When should you use a Molly bolt?

Molly bolts are medium to heavy-duty wall anchors for hanging fairly large items. What types of items require a molly bolt?
This type of expansion anchor is well-suited for hanging ceiling hooks, heavy curtain rods, large picture frames, floating shelves, coat racks, and even light fixtures.
Can you use molly bolt drywall anchors for a TV? That's hotly debated. Some people don't trust wall anchors by themselves to mount an expensive TV on the wall, but you should be able to use these anchors in conjunction with a stud to attach the bracket to the wall securely.

How Much Weight Can a Molly Bolt Hold?

Molly bolts can handle anywhere from 30 to 100 pounds. Most manufacturers will list a weight rating for their drywall anchors on the package. But beware - the true holding capacity comes down to the thickness of the drywall, the size of the molly bolt, and how well they are installed.

How to Use Wall Anchor Gun?

Using molly bolts is simple! Here's a quick guide to get you started.

Mark the Location

Make sure you know exactly where you want your molly bolt before you go drill that hole! You don't want to create a bunch of extra holes that will need to be filled later. Also, use a stud finder to check that the wall is clear of studs, pipes, and wires.

Drill the Anchor Hole

The packaging for the drywall anchor should list the size requirements for a drill bit – with a molly bolt; it's important that you get the sizing near perfect. If the hole is too small, you'll cause damage, and if it's too large, the molly bolt won't tighten correctly.
Note: Some molly bolts with nail-like points allow you to place them without a pre-drilled hole. You just hammer them into place with a rubber mallet. However, these can cause more damage to the drywall, and it may be worth it to just pre-drill anyway.

Insert the Molly Bolt and Tighten

You have pinpointed the location and pre-drilled the hole. Now, there are a couple of ways to tighten the bolt. Some types just need a screwdriver, but others require you to use a special tool to set the molly bolts. How does it work?
Just place the molly bolt into the hole, then back the screw out partially. Now, the setting tool hooks onto the head of the screw and pulls the anchor, causing the winged portion on the back to expand, setting the molly bolt in place.
Then you can remove the screw and slide it through the mounting hole of the item you want to hang on the wall. Then you can reinsert the screw in the anchor and tighten it in place. The video below shows you how to use the setting tool for this type of hollow wall anchor.
