Inexperienced users of conventional self-drilling drywall anchors may apply too much torque to its screw drive, even after the anchor has become fully bedded down in the drywall, under the mistaken impression that applying a greater torque will improve security of the anchor within the drywall. However, continuing to rotate the anchor after it has been fully inserted into the dry wall continues to rotate the anchor within the drywall and gouges out drywall material from around the anchor. Such gouging causes a cavity to form around the anchor, reducing its security within the wall. The present invention provides a self-drilling drywall anchor having a screw drive 16 that comprises a clutch configured to limit an amount of torque transmitted to the shank 5 by a tool engaged with the screw drive 16. In this way, a user may drive the anchor into a drywall, but over-tightening is prevented as the clutch limits the amount of torque transmitted to the shank 5, thereby preventing the external threads 7 on the shank from gouging out drywall material adjacent to the anchor and reducing the anchor's security within the drywall.
