Toggle Bolt 1/8″ x 2″ Alloy Steel Zinc Finish – Hillman 50-Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Hillman Group 370039 Toggle Bolt is engineered for demanding fastening applications where strength and durability are paramount. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, each bolt is coated with a zinc finish that provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the fastener even in humid or outdoor environments. The bolt measures 1/8 inch in diameter with a 2‑inch overall length, delivering a robust anchoring point that can support substantial loads. Its round head design offers a clean, professional appearance while allowing for easy installation with standard screwdrivers or impact drivers. The package includes 50 pieces, ensuring you have ample inventory for multiple projects or large‑scale installations. All specifications adhere to industry standards, making these toggle bolts a reliable choice for both commercial contractors and dedicated DIY enthusiasts.

Usage

Toggle bolts excel in applications where a secure hold is required behind a hollow wall, ceiling, or masonry substrate. Typical use cases include mounting heavy shelving units, securing large televisions, installing curtain rods, and anchoring industrial equipment. The pre‑drilled hole required for installation simplifies the process: simply drill a hole matching the bolt’s diameter, insert the toggle mechanism, and tighten until the bolt is snug against the opposite side of the material. This design distributes load across a broader area, reducing stress on the surrounding structure and minimizing the risk of material failure. Whether you are working in residential drywall, commercial plaster, or concrete block, the Hillman toggle bolt adapts to a variety of substrates, providing confidence that your installation will remain stable over time.

FAQ

What size hole is required for installation?

The recommended drill bit size is 1/8 inch, matching the bolt’s diameter to allow the toggle wings to expand fully behind the wall.

Can these toggle bolts be used in concrete walls?

Yes, the toggle mechanism works in concrete block and masonry when a proper pilot hole is drilled; the zinc coating helps resist moisture penetration in such environments.

Are the bolts reusable after removal?

While the bolt itself can be re‑installed, the toggle wings may lose some spring tension after repeated use; for critical applications, it is advisable to replace the bolt.

What is the load capacity of a single 1/8 inch toggle bolt?

When installed correctly in standard 1/2‑inch drywall, a 1/8 inch toggle bolt can safely support up to 50 pounds, though exact capacity depends on substrate condition and installation quality.

Do you offer larger sizes for heavier loads?

Hillman provides a full range of toggle bolts in various diameters and lengths; consult our catalog for 3/16 inch, 1/4 inch, and larger options designed for higher load requirements.
