MVP Award Winner: Hot-Dipped Galvanized Post Anchors- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (6/12/2007)

They "will make all fence installs a cinch," said a judge. Oz-Posts are hot-dipped galvanized and are longer and wider than other post anchors. They come in a wide range of sizes and lengths. Cost: $12.75 per post. 866-422-0751.
MVP Award Winner: SecureMount Hardware Anchors- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (6/11/2007)
- Home Care by Moen. More homeowners these days ask for grab bars in the bath, and SecureMount anchors provide a quick but secure installation. "A simple install--no stud needed," a judge said.

Instead, the grab bar is mounted into the D-shaped anchors that require simple drilling to install. The anchors are appropriate for walls 1/8 to 1 1/2 inches thick and work with marble, tile, drywall, fiberglass, and fiberglass tub surrounds. They can be used not only with Moen and Home Care by Moen grab bars but also those made by most other manufacturers. Cost: $36 per pair. 800-882-0116.
