Have you ever wondered why car repair geckos are so named? In fact, the name car repair gecko is not directly related to car repair and gecko. Although some people may not have heard of the car repair gecko, but in the industry, its use is very large, and we commonly used expansion bolts have a similar status.

The name of the car repair gecko is mainly related to the habits of our industry. In foreign countries, they do not use the name "car repair gecko", but call it a Wedge anchor, that is, a wedge anchor. The name derives from its design concept.

The wedge anchor design contains an expanding wedge that is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the concrete. After that, the wedge anchor is driven into the hole with a hammer or hammer drill, and the screw is tightened to produce a drawing force. This force causes the extended wedge/conical squeeze clip to expand, creating friction and securing the effect.

Wedge anchors usually have threaded ends that can be attached to screws, nuts, and other fasteners to increase the stability of the project. They are suitable for medium to heavy duty projects such as installing large equipment, hanging overhead structures such as ceiling grids or beams.

The advantage of this anchor is its high load carrying capacity and versatility, which can be used in different sizes and styles according to specific needs. In addition, their installation process is very simple, requiring only a drill bit, hammer or percussion drill, so they are suitable for emergency use. Best of all, when installed correctly, the way the wedge anchors expand inside the concrete pre-drilled holes gives a strong holding force.

In summary, although the car repair gecko has its unique name, its core function is similar to the expansion screw, which is a kind of fastener.
