Mechanical Plastics Corp. is a company based in Norwalk, Connecticut that "produces screw anchors and toggle bolts used in the construction industry." These anchors, which range from light-duty to heavy-duty, are "used to fasten objects to walls, ceilings, and floors made of concrete, brick, cement block, drywall, and fiberglass".〔 Mechanical Plastics Corp. currently contains two main divisions, TOGGLER and Wej-It. According to ''The New York Times'', Mechanical Plastics currently distributes its products to twenty-four countries internationally, and these products are then sold at retail stores such as Lowe's. TOGGLER anchor system, whose patents are owned by Mechanical Plastics Corp., is used in the area of home improvement, when driving "a screw or nail directly into a framing member behind the wall surface" is not possible and it is necessary to choose a fastener that is "specifically designed for gripping in the hollow spaces between the studs and joists." The ''Popular Mechanics'' journal, states that "The basic Toggler is the screw anchor which can work in both solid-wall ''and'' hollow-wall applications. It consists of a polypropylene anchor and a small plastic setting key. All you do is drill a hole in your wall and slide the anchor in place. For solid walls, the anchor is just wedged into the hole, like a normal plastic anchor. If the wall is hollow, you simply slide the key setting pin into the anchor and push." As such, these Toggle bolts are used to "support items like mirrors, framed artwork, and towel racks." Mechanical Plastics Corp. also manufactures the Wej-It expansion bolt, which "is a one-piece all-steel anchor for attaching anything to concrete, brick, or stone."
