Toggler Anchor SS bolts

Hi all, as anyone on here used these high peformance anchor bolts ,they will hold up to 356lbs , thought they would be good for holding down Aframe, if bolted to the deck of a rib, can,t seam to find a good anchor bolt these days

I have 8 of them holding my scuba tank rack down. I think the bolt size is 8mm and they seem super strong in over 5 yrs of use. Although when I installed them the thread engagement seemed rather skimpy. If you ever undo them expect them to fall down/away on the backside, the zip-ties end up breaking after you install the bolt.

I've used the non-SS versions over the years. Agree that the threaded contact area is quite small. Not sure I'd trust an A-frame to them...

They're a genius solution for a lot of jobs though!

I think they'd work fine for this application, way better than the limited alternatives.
