I know what "masonry anchors" are but the US versions all come with heads and nails. I'm looking for the UK version that's headless and doesn't have a nail that I'll have to pull out before inserting in the wall..

You can get them at any Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Ace Hardware, Amazon or just about anywhere.

No you can't! Look at the image I posted and then try and find the equivalent product at any big box store - not stocked.

R U Retarded?
Try searching for "mollies" or "drywall anchors" or "masonry anchors" or "wall anchors".
They come in dozens of shapes and sizes.

It is obvious how you went from an empire controlling half the globe to an insignificant tiny island in the Arctic Circle.

You accuse me of being retarded when you post a product/image that is not even close to what I'm looking for let alone usable with cable clips.
Re-read the OP and my subsequent replies. If, after that, you are still unable to understand what I'm looking for then stop replying and making yourself look sillier than you already are.

Man, you stroll into somewhere you don't belong and start talking down to people, you really must be a brit. This forum is for contractors, you can assume people will keep razzing you until you give up, in the meantime I'll enjoy the show (y).

So they are used with the regular cable clamps the are preloaded with nails? Great idea but never saw them before

I have seen the ones preloaded with masonry nails but they don’t work very well

OH. So you are confirming you are retarded.
Good luck in your search for the elusive wall anchor. Dufus.
I think everyone stopped making them because of Covid.

I'm afraid you're looking silly.
Use wood dowels if you don't like expansion anchors.

Not they aren't. Read the description. It says;

Drill a 5.5mm hole and tap in the pin plug.
For fixing cable clips into soft aercrete blocks.

Its a standard masonry anchor. The package even comes with a masonry bit to install them.

Well, after looking at the OP, it seems Joe may be correct. Simple masonry anchors at fist glance. Though he may be a bit overzealous in his communication...

OP, is there something special about the ones you posted. Harder or softer materials? I don't see why a small screw anchor wouldn't work with a nail? Just never used them that way.
