Never though of how to remove the whole fastener, usually just sold the house and started over in a new one.

I loved this video. Explained the solution very clearly and quickly. Good quality footage mixed with concise narration made this an excellent tutorial.

Excellent video with clear descriptions and visuals. Love using these as ways to hang frames on the wall

[BobbyBurdick]

short and to the point with options and details. Well spoken with no ahs and clearly understood with great examples shown. There should be a super like for shorts like this one.

You the man, Ron. Never thought it would straighten out with the hammer trick, but it did. Saved me a big hassle. Cheers!

Wish I would have seen this video 1 hour ago. Didn’t know what I was dealing with and now it looks like like Batman shot his grappling gun through my wall.

aw thank you, i never knew spackle was the solution to my depression!
in all honesty though, this is useful information, thank you for sharing!

I am SO EXCITED I found this video! Thank you so much for explaining this! My boyfriend insisted we couldn't hang anything in our apartment because we have plaster walls but I think these mollies are the way to go. I'm presenting him with this video so he knows that even if we put holes in the wall, we can still get that deposit back ;) Thanks again!

Watched a ton of other videos on this one. But this one had the most succinct explanations with the best lighting. Thanks!

You're a godsend, sir. Thank you so much for this

This was the best advice I have seen on how to remove Molly Bolt Anchors. Thanks so much for posting, much appreciated!

Ron, you saved my wall, sanity and kitchen! Thank you for making this video, 2 out of 8 of my Molly bolts failed because I overtightened them (fixing a tall thin aluminium radiator to a drywall). Now I can finish my tiling and get on with my life. 😊

You made it look so easy. It took me ten minutes to scrape the excess spackle away in a way that looked decent. It was my first time. I thank you. Whoever made this video. Thumbs up.

[yellowdogjb]

Awesome! Just the info I needed, plus short and to the point! Thank you!

[susubrainstorm]

Thank you very much this is exactly the information that I needed. I removed the anchor successfully.

Ron--I looked at three others videos. Not one was nearly as helpful as yours. Tks!

[ansleytime]

I wish it was that easy to fill my depression. Thanks for the tip!

[AminAmirali]

My goodness.... had I known this before I saw other videos... I just tried the first method out and it worked like a charm. Thank you for publishing this!

[TeriAnneAshley]

Excellent instructions! Don't peel back the bolt shoulder (as shown on other videos) ... do this instead!! Thank you, Ron

This is fantastic! You really helped me out. And I appreciate that.
