40-Piece Molly Bolt Assortment — Wall Anchor Bolt Set
Product description
This kit contains 40 molly anchors and their corresponding screws, organized as an assortment of sleeve lengths to suit different wall thicknesses. The set is intended to provide options for a variety of hollow‑wall jobs, from hanging pictures to mounting small shelves and fixtures.
The anchors are metal sleeves with expansion tabs and paired machine screws; typical kits like this use zinc‑plated steel for corrosion resistance and durability. The sleeves come in multiple diameters and lengths — unpack and match the sleeve length to the wall depth before use.
To install: drill the recommended pilot hole, insert the sleeve flush with the wall, then drive the screw clockwise to flare the tabs behind the wall. Once expanded the anchor should hold in place. Because manufacture can vary between lots, inspect that each sleeve’s expansion tabs are formed correctly before committing to a permanent install.
Pros
- Wide assortment of sleeve lengths
- Includes matching machine screws
- Compact kit for common hollow‑wall jobs
Cons
- Quality can be inconsistent between pieces
- Some sleeves may not expand or lock properly
- Not recommended for critical load‑bearing uses without testing
VerdictOffers a broad selection of molly anchors that can handle common hollow‑wall mounting tasks, but quality control appears inconsistent. Check every piece before installation and avoid trusting this kit for critical, load‑bearing applications without testing or replacement parts.

Defective sizes
I bought this kit months ago from a third‑party seller. Four of the six sleeve sizes have the expansion tabs formed backward, so they collapse when you tighten the screw clockwise. The outer sleeve just spins instead of locking and the anchor never expands. Useless for mounting — I expected better quality control from the marketplace.
