Spring toggles

[bemost]

Simple, straight to the point, no nonsense, no fluff video. Thank you!

Your video really helped me get the job done at work today, I love how you not only showed the front view but the behind view as well. Thank you for sharing!

[gmaundrill]

Did it all myself and was at a loss to understand why they weren't fixing. The last 20seconds of your video made it all clear. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

Thanks for mentioning that it needs to have the part I'm attaching to the wall- I almost forgot!

you can also add some glue or caulking to the toggle so it will stay glued to the back of the wall. then you can remove the screw and the toggle will stay in place

I found this very helpful. It's the first time I saw a video explaining and showing exactly how these sorts of bolts work -- by "gripping" or "biting into" the back of the drywall. All of the other videos left out that part, which left me wondering how these work. Thanks for the helpful video!

Exactly what I needed.  Probably the most useful 90 seconds of my day!

Thanks for posting such a well made video explanation: brief, thorough, and useful. Very helpful!

It is on a external wall. Just plaster boad and ply wood before the masonry wall. Its a new build. Thanks for the advice. Love your vids. I bet working with you must be great

These are by far the strongest toggles I've used, better than the spiral wall anchors in my opinion. I've been able to mount 100+ lbs older flat screens from 2009, without wondering if it's going to fall off the wall. and you know those tvs were some big boys back then.

comic addition, had a new house built, company sent handyman to fix loose towel rails I told him to use toggle bolts he did, unfortunately he screwed the expanding part back to front just had to redo correct way, he learned something new today

Thank you SO much for this great video! I was totally lost regarding these toggle bolts! :)

[CodeNY]

Thanks for this, I was struggling to visualise how they worked. This helped a lot!

[vladanik]

An excellent video! Great that you showed the view from behind

You need a longer bolt, and ensure the spring action works prior to pushing in.

thanks excellent video..you show the inside of the wall, so i can see how the toggle bolt actually works..you made it very simple and easy thanks !...i was trying to use regular plastic anchors to install a bath shower rod..it was loose and wouldnt get snug against the wall....the plastic anchors would just spin with the phillips screw when i tried to tighten them..i guess i drilled too big a hole, and the anchors have nothing to grip to while installed on the wall..i'll try these toggle bolts instead, they grip the INSIDE of the wall with the wings...THEN they get snug, and you can start screwing in the nail ..

Really good example of how to use spring toggles thank-you!

[tregaricus]

about to fix shelves at work in the stock room, thanks man!

[UTuberoni]

EXCELLENT video! Thank you very much! I am looking to install floating glass shelves onto drywall that have cinder blocks behind it. I heard of screws turning endlessly inside concrete. I've looked at Wall-Dog screws but toggle bolts seem more sound. What do you think?
Also what if I miss the void in the block & screw into the web/joint area of the block? The wings won't open but will the wings try to expand & bite enough of the concrete to get a decent hold?

Great video. A noob question though. If you need to drill a 12mm hole to fit the toggle though and the screw thread is just about 6mm or whatever, isn't the screw just loose though the wall? Usually you'd drill a hole to fit the screw size wouldn't you?
