I was working with a guy a few weeks ago and he had the 1/4 and the 3/8 hollow wall set tool that is used in your drill. Does anyone know where i can find these? THANKS

Welcome to the forum,,,,,IMO the best flex bits are ideal. The second best are greenlee.

The best fishsticks hands down,,,I've tried them all are the LSD's.

Yes it goes in a drill and the lead
anchor screws on its nice but I
can't find one. I was just trying my
luck here maybe I will try the local
supply houses.

The OP keeps saying "hollow wall" and all the responses are about concrete anchors.:confused:

If you find one let me know. Sounds like a great tool!

I believe you're thinking of drywall anchors, mostly called zippits. Can get them in metal or plastic. Fits on philips head bit, drills into drywall til flush, then anchor object to it with #8 x 1 1/2 screw. Looks roughly similar to a plastic masonry anchor. Kits are in same type of box. I get those at any supply house I deal with. Big Blue and Big Orange have them too.

Omg sorry i don't know where you guys are getting these ideas from lol.
Now the hollow wall set tool sets lead anchors for 1/4 or 3/8 bolts.
The new set tool uses a drill to drive the lead anchor instead of a hammer.
If I find one I will post a pic

Petrosa: Thats almost just what I am talking about. The one I'm looking for
is a little wider so it will drive the anchor in the hollow wall and it's for the standard drill I will see if I can get ahold of this guy. Thanks
