The Maible WAHGUN Hollow Wall Anchor Gun is a pistol type installation tool designed to make setting hollow wall anchors faster, cleaner and more consistent. Built for use with compatible plasterboard and cavity wall anchors, it helps electricians, builders and installers expand the anchor securely behind the wall surface, creating a stronger fixing point for brackets, plates, accessories and light-duty hardware.

Key Features

  • Pistol Type Design: Provides a comfortable trigger-style action that helps pull and set compatible hollow wall anchors with better control.
  • Designed for Hollow Wall Anchors: Ideal for installing metal cavity wall anchors used in plasterboard, drywall and other hollow wall applications.
  • Faster Anchor Installation: Helps reduce manual effort compared with setting anchors by screw alone, making it useful for repetitive fixing work.
  • Consistent Anchor Setting: Assists in expanding the anchor legs evenly behind the wall cavity for a more secure fixing point.
  • Trade-Friendly Tool: Suitable for electricians, maintenance workers, builders, cabinet installers and general trades who regularly work with plasterboard fixings.
  • Compact Hand Tool: Easy to carry in a toolbox or tool bag, making it practical for service work, fit-offs and installation jobs.
  • Improves Fixing Reliability: Helps ensure hollow wall anchors are properly expanded, reducing the chance of loose or poorly seated fixings.
  • Useful for Renovation Work: A handy tool when adding new brackets, wall plates, accessories or fittings to existing plasterboard walls.
  • Simple Operation: Insert the compatible anchor into the pre-drilled hole, attach the tool to the screw head, squeeze the handle to set the anchor, then remove the screw for fixture mounting.
