Expanding metal wall anchors are designed to hold heavy items by distributing the load across a larger area within the wall. They typically consist of a metal sleeve that expands when a screw is driven into it. This expansion action grips the surrounding material, creating a solid anchor point that can support significant weight. They are particularly useful in scenarios where traditional screws might loosen over time, such as in drywall installation or when hanging items from concrete surfaces.

Rivets are permanent fasteners that join materials by means of a mechanical interlock. They consist of a cylindrical shaft with a head at one end and are installed by deforming the unheaded end after insertion. Rivets are commonly used in structural applications such as bridges and aircraft, where a high level of strength is critical. There are different types of rivets, including solid rivets, blind rivets, and tubular rivets. Blind rivets, also known as pop rivets, can be installed from one side of the workpiece, making them ideal for applications where access to both sides is limited.

The use of allen key wood screws offers several advantages over conventional screws. Their tamper-resistant nature, for instance, makes them ideal for applications where security is a concern. The allen key, not commonly found in standard toolkits, is necessary to access the screw, deterring unauthorized access or accidental loosening. Moreover, the hexagonal socket design allows for more efficient torque transfer, resulting in a tighter and stronger hold when fastening materials together.
