Far superior to even the best Togglers. Since the screws are regular sheet metal screws they are highly unlikely to penetrate any loose wiring hanging in the middle of the stud, whether wood or metal.

Need to mount some display case units on both sides of an interior wall..1/2 dry wall+steel stud +1/2 drywall on the other side. Total width 5 inches. These cases can share straight through bolts as they will be identical position on opposite walls. My concern is are there electrical wires through steel studs. House is 11 year old block stucco..looks to me like a typical build ..Ron Hess was the builder.

Many stud finders will also detect live electrical wires within walls.
