Another "What's it" Thread...

I'm not entirely sure what section this post should go into, and if it is in the wrong section I apologize. Anyway....

I have been working on a recent project and i came across these little doohickeys that seem to work incredibly well for what i need. Now the question is what the hell are they? They are almost like drywall anchors but they don't have a split seam to bite in behind the drywall. Any ideas? I am looking to get some more of them.

I think these are the same:

I believe they are designed for masonry use. My college maintenance dept used them all the time.

I agree with the masonry call. My shop is made of cement block and I use them to hang receptacle boxes on the wall. Pre drill a hole with a masonry bit and then tap them into the hole, then just use drywall screws.

+1 for masonry.

Well i guess that solves the mystery! Thanks for the help, i just couldn't come up with the right keywords to search on the internet.
