Cobra Triple Grip Wall Anchors
Cobra Triple Grip anchors occupy a best‑in‑category spot for medium‑duty masonry and mixed substrate applications by using a multi‑expansion design that provides reliable holding power across different base materials. They are more economical than chemical systems like the Hilti adhesive while delivering superior holding and vibration resistance compared with simple single‑piece plastic plugs, making them a practical choice when installers need a balance of cost and technical performance.

Paulin Zip-It Drywall Anchors
Paulin's Zip‑It drywall anchors are optimized for quick, no‑tool or single‑tool installs in thin drywall and hollow partitions, positioning them as the cost‑efficient solution for light to medium loads in fit‑out and retrofit work. While they cannot match the heavy loads of toggles like the Toggler SnapToggle or the structural capacity of Hilti and Red Head anchors, their very low unit cost and speed make them ideal where budget and installation time are the primary constraints.

Red Head Trubolt Wedge Anchors
The Red Head Trubolt wedge anchor is a market leader for heavy mechanical anchoring in solid concrete, offering robust expansion mechanics, high shear and tensile capacities, and economical bulk pricing for structural fastenings. Compared with chemical anchors such as the Hilti HIT‑HY 200‑R, Trubolts provide immediate load capacity and simpler installation at typically lower material cost, though they trade off some of the crack‑tolerance and bond versatility of adhesive systems.
