Considering what this system costs, how important it is to fully tighten these anchors, and how many years it’s been out in the market, I’m amazed that Elfa has not Changed to a better screw head that does not strip as easily as the Philips screws!!!

Thanks for posting this. I would have like to have seen the hand tightening at the end. How tight will the screws get? Mine seem to not get all the way tight, they want to spring back.

After using a power drill with a phillips bit to get it tightened, finish with hand-tightening with a screwdriver and stop short when it doesn't seem it will turn any further without stripping the screw.

I think you needed to further tightening the screws so that the spring behind the dry wall can coil and tightening the whole anchor

You know you should set the clutch on your drill much lower like 3-5 so it clicks out when you get to a certain level of tension..less likely to strip the screw.
