Please remember. Those screws can hold up to 200lb, but your drywall cannot. We don’t have issues with screws, our big problem is drywall is weak and it will brake away from the wall easily. So do your best to find a stud.

Thank you thank you!!! My boyfriend and I have been fighting about where I want things to be hung because of no studs since we moved in to our apartment over 2 months ago! Literally every place I want something hung there is no stud. Now that I showed him this we can hang them no problem with the toggles! Can't wait to go get a crap ton of them lol.

I asked for 3 quotes to hang a bathroom cabinet and put in tp roll and a door lock after our contractor somehow missed this and wouldn’t come back after he was paid. All three contractors would not touch another’s work. So after 2 years of the cabinet sitting on my toilet, I found this instructional u-tube video. I’m a 115 retired female. Bought me a drill and electric screw driver and watched this and put it in myself. Bought a gig saw and put in the tp roll. Haven’t figured out the door lock yet for the pocket door but maybe in a few months. Thank you.

Been trying to learn this for so long! Thank you so I'm hanging a couple of shelves tomorrow now, thanks to you guys :)

Forgetting the most important consideration. That is that it doesnt matter what the anchor weight load is.. Its how much the drywall or substrate will hold before the anchor comes pulling out of the wall itself. Light weight drywall will not keep an EZ anchor in (the white ones) when using it to hold things like drapes etc. Which they advertise they can hold. . The anchor will hold up without breaking but it will come out of the wall. As for the toggles. If your suspending a plant hook for example where the weight load has vertical pull on the anchor, again it will often pull right through the drywall when a plant is fully watered even if it hasn't hit the weight capacity. Just considerations to keep in mind. The substrate definately matters.

This was incredibly helpful! I really appreciate the breakdown. I agree with others though, we really need to see the products before/after. You are familiar with these items, most of us are not.

Thanks for this very helpful video. Made me a hero around the house. Also, I feel at ease now that I know the approximate weight capability of the hardware. Again, it was very helpful!

Would be nice if you showed each hanger before installing it, so I know what to look for in the store.

That's really nice however on practice things are quiet different. On my experience, the weight that an area of sheetrock can hold really depends on how old the panel is. The older your wall is (20 to 30 yrs), the weaker is going to be and obviously less weight will hold. I personally've had bad experiences hunging heavy items relying only on what the product says. I have used anchors that claims to hold up to 75lbs with disastrous consequences. Based on my experience, i have a rule to use if i ignore the age of the house or more precisely the panel of sheetrock i'm going to use. I only hung up to 2/3 of weight of what the anchor label says for older houses and 3/4 for new ones then i carefully do some math to figure out how much weight will each anchor hold.

Best example of how bad editing can make a wonderfully useful video suck

Would have been nice if they actually hung something, as an example.

Perfect video. Gave me the knowhow to hang up a clothing rod into drywall. Working great!

What do you use to hang a mural, painted on a 3/4" sheets of 4'x8'' plywood to drywall? So it would be drilling through 3/4"'s of wood, the 1/2" of drywall. Also drilling a hole more than 1/4" would ruin the mural. Even then the holes would have to be strategically place to avoid the main art work.

Note: the weights aren’t the same for fixtures which are interacted with. If it’s a towel rack or curtain rod with sufficiently heavy fabrics these smaller plugs WILL loosen overtime.

Thank you. Indeed, great video. Standard drywall fasteners just weren't cutting it for me. These toggle bolts like the snap one, seem just the ticket.

Nice tutorial, but would have love to see more of how it works from the back end and longer visuals of the results.

I love the snap toggles but man sometimes they work and sometimesfir some reason I end up with a screw that just keeps spinning. For a situation where you want to hand a tv like a plasma but do t have the studs right where you need then then simply have a long plywood board that you can bolt to the studs then screw your bar onto the plywood and it works perfectly.

excellent demo. thanks for adding in the weight for each anchor.

Tbh this was very useful. I had a coat hanger fall and was ucnertain how to use some of the mounts. Watched this video fixed it in 10 minutes.

Very helpful. I just used two snap toggle anchors to hold up a large heavy mirror. Very easy to use
