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.

I want to install a pull up bar in between 2 hollow steal door frames. I’m having a hard time deciding what Anchors to use. Could you help me?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Excellent demo, I enjoyed watching!

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.

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.

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.

No fuss, no BS. Thank you very much!!!

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

I’ve install a few in my ceiling when my Sheetrock was falling. They work great!

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.

Thanks for showing all the options. Others have only used one type

Thanks for this! I hung a floating shelf. I was able to find the studs of 3 sides out of four, but for some reason the top right side stud was not there so the screw came off. I will try the drywall anchor.

Thanks good video to demonstrate all the different hooks and how to install.

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.

+Rich Lo try putting bearing grease on the threads, a light coat. And take a pair of cutting pliers and deform the bottom of that toggle thing where it goes into the back of the drywall.

Folks...please unserstand that dry wall will withstand a great deal of sheer but I is very weak if the weight pulls away from the wall. A flat screen tv should not be hung usint any of these methods. As mentioned below...a long piece of ply attached to the studs and the tv mount btackets mounted to the plywood is a good way to go. Also shelving presents its own problems. The methods in the video are mostly for a load that pulls straight down toward the floor.

Thanks for the video. I hung a 75 pound mirror in the bathroom through 1/2 inch drywall, no studs. I used four 3/16 inch snap toggles with a french cleat and it feels solid. The night before, I used one snap toggle in 3/8 drywall to test the weight for a dry run before hanging the bathroom mirror. I hung a 40 pound weight on it and I was surprised by the strength of the drywall and toggle.

Good stuff! I hate trying to find a stud.even thiugh its easy id still rather just hang w.e it is anywhere.thanks for sharing!

Thanks, saw things I never seen at the hardware store.

Wow this is really useful !!

I strongly suggest that one hand start the screw/bolt into the snaptoggle BEFORE a tool is used. If not, the mismatched screw will quickly force the toggle wings out of the plastic wall retainer, destroying the assembly. Dammit...

Thanks for your video. I bought snap toggles, on advice of hardware guy at Lowe's, to hang a header board for barn door flat rail hardware using provided 3" lag screws. I am not experienced so it takes ma a long time to make mistakes..LOL... But I think I am on the right track.

Thank you for tutorial .

AMAZING video guys!!!

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.

Fantastic video. I need to hang a hood range on my kitchen, the studs are nowhere near the center, since I already installed the backsplash (glass and metal pieces, go figure wifey wants it that way) so now the holes to hang the hood range fall right on top of the metal pieces of the backsplash. The range is 20 lbs heavy, I am thinking of using the 75 lbs toggle bolt for it. This should hold it easily since it is almost 4 times the weight of the hood range. Any thoughts?

Great editing,

Yes it would be ...if they let you see it ....but they cut the picture of to quick

Those Snap Toggles are rated for 75lbs each. That doesn't mean that the sheetrock alone would support all that weight of a 60"-80" TV. I see too many factors contributing to the weakness of the Sheetrock.There is Humidity, Gravity, Actual Sheetrock Damage and usually all bolts, nails, and supports start carving into the sheetrock. I wouldn't trust them with a Heavy TV.

"stud finder, huh?. How come it's not beeping at me then? 😏😎"

That was great but it would have been more helpful if you allowed more time for each item. A close up of them for several seconds front and back of the drywall individually. Also if we could see the packaging.

All things being equal, what is the max weight drywall will support before crumbling?

All of the anchors have to be perpendicular to the wall , also you have 2 little arrows on the head of the anchor screw ( the one that hold 75 lbs)

Good question 🤔

What would be the best to use if the wall has dense insulation behind the drywall? I tried the first toggle bolt but it couldn’t open because the insulation was blocking it.

At 3:25 in reference to the snap toggle, the narrator says "All that's left to do is insert the screw and this heavy duty plastic is ready to support some serious weight." All the weight is supported by the metal screw, and the plastic serves no further purpose beyond holding the toggle in place in the wall to receive the screw. I used the toggles to install a TV wall mount in a condo with metal studs, where screws weren't going to work.

Man I got plaster walls. And I have those snap anchors. Lmao just was confused on how to hang them.

I need to install a TV mount (steel unit) to the side of a solid oak kitchen cabinet. The corner of the kitchen where the TV mount will be installed has porcelain tiles on one side (IE, kitchen back splash tiles), and an solid oak cabinet on the other side. I know that the TV mount requires two holes. What is the best mounting hardware I can use?

for shelves, I would rather find studs, cut some ply or 1x2's screw them to the stud, then use that to attach the brackets for the shelves. Granted this is for in garage use and wont look as nice in the house, but it holds my 50+ tool box just fine!

I think this is the most important comment for this video. As others have mentioned, the hardware may hold your piece, but the drywall could eventually crumble or weaken. This is a bit of extra work, but will probably last forever. And this is what I'll be doing for some heavy items if I can't find a well-placed stud. I learned from Dad and that is what he used to do. Thank you for the comment.

jojo if you were using plugs they are not for drywall. they work in brick, plaster, wood, and cement.

Usually you install the screws where there is a frame behind the drywall, so that will bear the weight of the painting/shelve etc. Drywall is not designed to bear any weight...
