Which statement about nails-in anchors is true?

• A. They are used for heavy structural loads
• B. They are lightweight and used for light-duty supports
• C. They require welding
• D. They are decorative

Answer: (B)

Nails-in anchors are designed for lightweight, quick attachments that don’t carry heavy structural loads. They work by driving a nail through the anchor into the base material, which provides enough holding power for small fixtures like light brackets, trim, or decorative items. Because the load is modest and installation is simple (no welding or special equipment), this type of anchor is ideal for light-duty supports. For heavier loads, other anchors that transfer load more effectively into the substrate would be used.
