Snake+™

Snake+‚Ñ¢ Internally Threaded Screw Anchor for Concrete Fastening The Snake+‚Ñ¢ anchor by Powers Fasteners is an internally threaded, self-tapping screw anchor designed for reliable performance in cracked and uncracked concrete, including normal-weight concrete, sand-lightweight concrete, and concrete over steel deck. It is engineered for use by electrical distributors, lighting solutions providers, wire and cable installers, and switchgear suppliers requiring secure anchoring in structural applications. The anchor is installed into a drilled hole using a power tool and a dedicated Snake+ setting tool, allowing for fast, hammer-free installation. After installation, a steel element such as a threaded rod or bolt is threaded into the anchor body for secure attachment.
