It isn't open, it's a solid chunk of metal.

Correct.

I'm not familiar with "hold down dogs" but if it means the same as pipe jaws
for a vise, then you're correct.

It's used with drywall, but it's not an anchor.

I take that back, I looks like it is an anchor so this answer is correct. I
thought an anchor was something that a screw was screwed into, but I guess
it applies to a wider variety of items.

Actually, you screw a screw into the #251, it's not much use otherwise.

The drywall anchor that is useful in Paneling, Hollow Doors and thin plaster
is made by Rayfix International owned by Midwest Fastener Corporation (might have owner backwards)

These are called "Ultimate Gold Wall Anchor - gold color - holds up to 60 pounds.
I bought a couple of packages at my local Lumber Company. Had to mount some heavy stuff - used 3.

Correct, it's an old 750 watt GE projection bulb. Not sure if it still
works, the glass is just a little loose in the base so I'm not sure if I
want to give it a try.

Yes, except there is no second screw, the end that you can't see is screwed
with a phillips head driver.

But there *should* be. The Phillips driver screws this into the
wall, and then a long metal screw is put into the center of the first,
and it shifts the point, turning it sideway, and clamps down on the back
of the drywall with it. They come in a clear plastic box with several
of these, and an equal number of the screws to put into them once they
are seated in the drywall.

In particular, they look like jaws to fit inside the normal vise
jaws, to grip pipe or other round stock.

Don is completely correct - my entire office is partitioned
with (what we call in UK) plaster board. The board is not
strong enough to hold pictures or maps using a normal screw
or tack. this thing you have is pushed into the plaster
board - then its external thread is used to pull it all the
way into the soft wall till its head is flush, then the
smaller fine metal screw is used to attach 'whatever' to
the wall via the plastic screw.

I have a tv screen held to wall with them - so I sure hope
they work!

There are various names for it here in the USA. The most common
(at least in the Washington DC vicinity) is "drywall", though I first
learned "sheetrock" down in South Texas. (It may have been a brand
name -- I was just a kid at the time.)

Ouch! A standard CRT, or one of the flat-panel LCD ones? If
the former, it will be cantilevering a pull on the upper ones. These
things are stronger in sheer than in tension.

If it is a true CRT, I would suggest that the support be of the
form:

Use a fixed-pitch font to avoid distortion of the image.
Courier should work well.

Wall
||
||
|| | <----- metal plate
|| |x
|| | +----------------------+
|| |x| |
|| | | T V |
|| |x| set |
|| | | |
|| | | |
|| | | |
|| | | |
|| | | |
|| | +----------------------+
|| |========================== <--- metal support
|| |x___________________/
|| |/ ^
|| |
+-------- Welded metal bracket

Wherever you see an 'x' on the drawing above, you want a line of
the screws -- spaced something like 8" (200mm) apart. Much closer, and
you will weaken the drywall. Much farther apart, and you won't have
enough strength.

Where there are rows closer than that distance apart, stagger
the screws like this:

+------------------------+
| x x |
| |
| x x |
| |
| x x |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|========================|
| x |_| x |_| x |
+------------------------+

The bottom row of screws offers the least support -- but it
still can help in shear.

Good Luck,
DoN.

The one in my photo is different than the type you have in mind, there is no
second screw for this one. If you haven't already seen the link that I
posted previously, have a look at this site for instructions for this one:

O.K. That is different. Though aside from the head with the
groove, it looks similar to the three-piece ones which I was describing,
where the drill point is dislodged by the insertion of the final screw,
and turned into a transverse clamp to better resist pull-out.

Note the caveat in that web page that it is for a maximum load
of 40 lbs. And that would be for a pure shear type load. Anything
which translates to much of a pull would have to be derated. And it
*might* not let go until a particularly humid day, or a mild earthquake,
or something similar.

Good Luck,
DoN.

The weight that unscrewed into two pieces was #244, I haven't been able to
confirm what it was used with, I'm guessing some type of scale.

As I mentioned in previous posts, this photo is six times larger than actual

I've been away to wet and flooding Palm Springs for a couple
of weeks.....and have come back to find myself positively in
love in # 244.

I had to go look to see what #244 is, I was surprised when it was the weight
but it does have an interesting look to it, and about as much character as
I've ever seen in one.

Aha! I have a mirror which has a back likely intended to take
something like this, but I'd never seen the actual device before.

Basically the mirror (which is quite heavy) has a wooden back with a
round hole partially covered at the top by a metal strap, making a
D-shaped opening to a round hole. It's hanging now by an L-shaped-hook, but
if the hook were to rotate....

Thanks for the link! I have to admit that I'm surprised that it's actually
used for that, I thought it might be for working on leather.

I actually hunted around for a while because I have seen such a tool
out on the internet, but I couldn't find it this time around.

What's the point of this, and what does it have to do with the eyelet tool?
