A plier holding the anchor in one hand while I unscrew with the other is the info I needed from this vid to get the screw out of the anchor. Thanks!

I love this guy. Using the hand towel as a pull up bar 😂😂

Please put links in the description to other items shown in the video. One of them was probably the toggle anchor. I did not know that one till I read the other comments

Top tier comedy, is the subtle gut punchers

Puts the same type of anchor back in 🤦. Basically, if you ever install a towel rack, ring, bar, whatever into drywall-- anything that is going to do anything other than sit pretty, but will instead be getting a lot of tugging and shifting (like a towel ring), the first thing to do is throw those crappy drywall inserts that came with the ring in the trash. Now, use a toggle anchor. Boom. No more issues. Same if you're trying to reuse the same spot after the crappy inserts ripped out: use a toggle

I needed to know how to remove the anchor from the screw which helped me with what I actually needed- thanks

Wish you would have linked the other video, thanks

I put in a few hooks to hold towels can't find a stud I'll try the anchor that spreads out inside the wall
Thx 😊

What do you do if you already had those wide blunt plastic screws (that you used in this fix) to begin with and they ripped out a part/chunk of the drywall? Fix the whole section with a patch piece? Are toggle anchors stronger than the plastic ones you used here?

What if i used the large white anchor & it also pulled out & made the hole bigger. Everyone says hammer the anchors into a drilled hole then put screw in. I have holes & thin hollow wall behind will the wing anchors work? Thx

[rodnyg]

the bottom screw was just spinning with the driver, and the whole thing doesn't look very solid at all

[SomnambulistCraze]

Wish you would have given more info about the screw on anchor. Like a name or even a link.

Thanks anyways. Cheers

I have a towel bar and put the two anchors on the wall with the plate for the bar and the bar won't stay on. I tightened that little screw under the side of one bar and started on the second one, and the bar just fell off the wall! Anybody have any tips for me??

[greatonej]

I can't get the anchor off the screws. Any idea how?

[mattacosta]

Basically....pick a bigger anchor for the loose hole. Not really a true solution if your already at the maximum

He didn't even tighten the screw anchor in the wall before installation, and showed the installation of the wing anchor incorrectly. Definitely a DKDYI'er (Don't Know DYI)
