Which Hollow Wall Anchor Should I Use?

May 11, 2015

Which Hollow Wall Anchor Should I Use?. Watch this video for an introduction to hollow wall anchors (aka drywall anchors), including an overview of how they work.

We show you which anchors work best for hanging various items on drywall, from pictures to shelves to mirrors and more. We show you how to use common plastic anchors with screws and hooks, self-tapping anchors, molly bolts, drill toggles (aka zip toggles) and strap toggle bolts (also called snap toggle bolts).

Learn which type of fasteners work best for which application. There are some that are better for light duty, and others that work well hanging heavier items.

We also give you a unique view into what the back of your drywall wall looks like. You can see some of these anchors in action from the back of the wall!

You can do this!

OMG! Thanks for the demo! I can make the best choices for hanging stuff! After watching your video, I see why the heavy stuff would not hang firmly against the wall and over time fall. Had a very large picture destroyed after it just fell out of the blue! I thought I used the right hangers….guess not. Knowledge is gold!
