The expanding or lead shields have failures sometimes.

they work if you are familiar with the tricks in using them.

But I like to just drill a 3/16" hole thru the drywall into the concrete.

place the tapcon in the hole done never had a failure.

they have them with phlips heads and hex heads, I like the hex heads better.
