KURUI Drywall Anchors and Screws Assortment Kit 270PCS, 135 Plastic Dry Wall Expansion Anchors and 135 Philips Flat Head Wood Screws, 5 Sizes Wall Hanging Kit for Art Decor, Replaces Picture Nails

Why I keep a Kurui anchor kit in my drawer

Some hardware is glamorous; plastic expansion anchors and Phillips screws are not. Yet this little organizer from Kurui has bailed me out across more rooms and substrates than I expected. After a couple of months using the kit for small installs—curtain brackets, framed art, a towel bar, and a light utility shelf—I’ve come to appreciate it as a reliable, uncomplicated set that covers most light-to-medium mounting tasks without a run to the store.

What you get, and what that actually means on the wall

The kit is a 270-piece assortment: 135 nylon/PE ribbed expansion anchors and 135 galvanized high‑carbon steel Phillips flat-head wood screws. You get five of the most common pairings:

• #6 x 1"
• #7 x 1"
• #6 x 1-1/5"
• #8 x 1-3/5"
• #8 x 2-2/5"

In practice, that spans short screws for shallow fixtures and longer ones for thicker brackets or when you want more bite in masonry. The anchors are color-coded (yellow, blue, gray), which makes grabbing the right size at a glance easier than reading tiny embossing. Everything arrives in a clear-lidded organizer with separate bins that actually keep sizes from mingling—a small but appreciated detail when you’re working mid-project and don’t want to play “match the orphaned screw.”

Setup and installation experience

These are classic push-in expansion anchors, not self-drillers. The install steps are straightforward:

1) Mark your holes and level.
2) Drill a pilot hole to match the anchor body (not the ribs).
3) Tap in the plastic anchor flush.
4) Mount the fixture and drive the screw.

A couple of notes from use:

• Bit size matters more than you think. Too small and the anchor mushrooms; too large and it spins. I match the shank of the anchor (ignoring ribs) to my drill bit visually and do a quick test hole in scrap if I’m uncertain.
• Go easy at the end of the drive. Phillips heads will cam out if you hammer them with a drill on full torque. I switch to a hand screwdriver or drop my clutch to finish snug.
• In drywall, avoid the void. If your hole lands on a seam or a crumbly patch, shift an inch. The ribbed design wants consistent material to grip.

With that approach, I had clean installs with no anchor spin and no cracked faces.

Performance across common substrates

• Drywall (1/2"): For picture frames, small mirrors, coat hooks, and a light two-bracket shelf, these anchors did what they should—create a stable, non-wobbly mount. I’d classify the hold as light to medium. If you’re hanging heavy floating shelves or anything with serious shear load, step up to toggles or metal anchors. Used sensibly (one anchor per bracket, properly spaced), I haven’t had any loosening or pull-through.

• Masonry (brick and concrete): This is where these anchors shine. Drilled with a masonry bit and seated in brick or mortar, the #8 sizes give a firm bite for hose reels, yard tool hangers, and outdoor decor. The galvanized screws help with corrosion, and I prefer them over softer bargain-bin fasteners that can twist under load.

• Wood studs and trim: Skip the anchor here and drive the screws directly. The screw threads are consistent and sharp enough for pine and typical interior trim. Flat heads seat nicely in bracket countersinks.

Materials and durability

The anchors are a nylon/PE blend with a ribbed body. I’ve used plenty of cheaper anchors that split during insertion or feel chalky; these feel denser and more elastic. I intentionally abused a couple—overdrilled the hole, removed and reinserted—and they held shape better than standard brittle PE plugs, though any plastic anchor will lose effectiveness after a removal.

The screws are galvanized high‑carbon steel with a Phillips recess. They’re not boutique fasteners, but they’re consistent in thread and straightness. I had no bent shanks out of the box. Drive feel is average-to-good; use the correct bit and don’t over-torque, and you won’t strip the heads. Outdoors, the finish has held up fine under a soffit; for fully exposed, coastal, or wet environments, I’d still choose stainless.

The organizer and day-to-day usability

This could have been a throwaway box; it isn’t. The compartments are sized well, the lid latches securely, and the clear top makes it easy to confirm counts at a glance. The printing is legible, and the color-coding carries through to the anchor bins, which reduces mix-ups when you’re bouncing between a #6 and #8 fixture. I ended up labeling the inside lid with common drill bit matches for each anchor size—worth doing if you use the kit often.

Where this kit fits—and where it doesn’t

Strengths:
- Coverage for the most common home tasks without overcomplication.
- Anchors that actually grip in drywall and seat firmly in masonry.
- Screws that don’t feel like soft pot metal and resist rusting indoors and out.
- A compact organizer that keeps parts sorted and usable.

Limitations:
- Not the right solution for heavy loads on drywall. TVs, deep cantilever shelves, garage tracks—use toggles, hollow-wall metal anchors, or go into studs.
- Phillips heads are the least forgiving drive type under high torque. If you’re used to Torx, slow down and use the clutch.
- As with any plastic anchor, accuracy matters. Sloppy holes lead to spinners, and re-using a hole reduces holding power.

Practical tips from use

• Sizing rule of thumb: Choose the smallest anchor that fully fills a clean hole and allows the screw to snug without spinning. #6 for small hardware, #7 as a middle ground, #8 for brackets and masonry.
• Drill bit selection: Match the smooth body of the anchor to your bit; don’t count the ribs. In brick, use a sharp masonry bit and vacuum the dust before inserting the anchor.
• Load distribution: For shelves and heavier decor, use two or more anchors per bracket when studs aren’t available, and consider going up a size if the hardware allows.
• Finishing: Stop the driver once the fixture is snug and finish by hand. You’ll avoid crushed drywall paper and chewed heads.

Comparisons and value

There are fancier options—self-drilling zinc anchors for pure drywall speed, specialty toggles for high loads, and stainless fasteners for harsh outdoor environments. Those all have a place. The Kurui kit’s advantage is breadth and simplicity: five useful size pairings, decent materials, and a tidy box that lives in a drawer. For the price of a couple of blister packs, you get enough inventory to stop cannibalizing leftover hardware from old projects.

Over the span of a dozen installs, I didn’t encounter manufacturing oddities like flashing on anchors or off-center screw heads. That consistency is what I want from a general-purpose kit: predictable results without fuss.

Who will appreciate this kit

• Renters and homeowners who do periodic decor and hardware installs and want a one-box solution.
• DIYers who need an anchor that works in both drywall and masonry without stocking multiple specialty types.
• Anyone who values a neat organizer with a sensible size spread and doesn’t want to think too hard before hanging something.

If your projects trend heavy or structural, you’ll outgrow plastic anchors quickly. But even then, having a reliable assortment on hand covers the many small jobs that don’t justify drilling for toggles or fishing for studs.

The bottom line

The Kurui anchor kit earns its keep by being reliable, predictable, and complete. The nylon/PE anchors grip well when installed correctly, the galvanized screws drive cleanly and resist corrosion, and the five size pairings cover nearly everything I hang in drywall, brick, and wood. It won’t replace toggles for heavy loads, and you do need to respect pilot hole sizing and driving torque, but those are table stakes for any expansion anchor.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit for light-to-medium-duty mounting on drywall and masonry, especially if you want one organized set that’s ready for most household installs. It’s a solid, good-value generalist that lowers the friction of small projects—and that’s what keeps it in my drawer.
