Questions & Answers
If you're putting up wood and want to use this to anchor it, drill a 1/4" hole in the wood first, then a 1/2" hole in the sheetrock. Because 1/2" was too small, I had to go up one size to fit the anchor snugly. AWESOME anchor, by the way! (Be cautious when working with insulation.)
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please Anchors alone should not be used to secure a full-motion television to a drywall. The anchors are unlikely to fail if the drywall fails. A full motion wall mount must be mounted to wood studs or concrete. br>For more information, please contact AV- Please contact us if you require any additional assistance.br>877- 302- 8397br>[email protected] express. com
The diameter of the bolt heads is about 7/16 inch. If that's not big enough, you can always add a flat washer. The threaded bolt has a diameter of 1/4 inch.
No, it won't work if the holes are 1 inch apart; the anchor, if my memory serves me correctly, requires a 1/2" (or 3/8, if I'm not mistaken) hole. Moreover, the screw is 1/4", so make sure the rack hole is large enough.

I have a 42" TV that I'd like to mount on the drywall. I couldn't find a stub in the wall so I bought these. I drew a line on the wall where the holes in the TV mount frame would be. I used a 1/2-inch drill bit to drill holes in the wall, then slid these anchors in place. It had the desired effect. I started the hole with a smaller drill bit (3/8), then finished it with a 1/2 inch drill bit on the drywall for more accuracy. When I installed them on the wall, I did not find the anchor to be weak. They do, however, easily break if you bend them up or down; As a result, do not bend it while installing it. The plastic was designed to break easily in flexion while remaining strong in tension. When I install it, I use a lot of force, and the plastic never breaks. However, when I bent it to about 70 degrees, it cracked like a cracker. Pull perpendicular to the wall (away from yourself) and do not bend the anchor's plastic. I used six and none of them broke, which is quite an accomplishment considering how easily I break things. As a result, don't be afraid to pull the plastic end against the wall; if I couldn't break it, I'm sure you won't either. Bend it up and down after you've inserted it into the hole and it will easily break; that's why I said don't bend it while installing it. I read a review that said the anchor's thread could be bad at times. That was not the case for me. If you're concerned about this, test the thread by inserting the screw into the anchor. If you want to be extra cautious, drill your screw in slowly until you feel it spinning freely in the anchor hole. This product comes highly recommended.
These actually work better than I expected. They have a good reputation. It's well-designed, simple to install, and appears to be quite sturdy. I'm a stickler for value, and these are well worth the extra money if you value your inner handyman and don't consider your own labor to be free. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> I still enjoy these things, but you should be aware of the issue I had. When installing them in an exterior wall, it's critical to get the threaded nut part as flat as possible on the inside. It also helps to pull the leads and push the gripping part down extremely hard to ensure you're lining up the threads/not part properly. If you get a lump of fiberglass insulation under one side of the toggle part, it won't line up properly with the bolt. If you blow it on one, you can crush it and pull it out with a pair of pliers, then try again in the same hole.
It's a fantastic product. The only issue is that if you buy ten of these, five will break. The white plastic guide bars are the ones that have broken. When I tried to tighten a couple of the screws, the plastic was stripped. I'm using them to support a 75-inch television, and they appear to be quite effective. Purchase a few extras because 50% of the time, they will break. Those that don't break do a good job. Their quality control needs to be improved.
This is, without a doubt, the best way to secure a heavy object in a hollow wall or ceiling. There's no comparison between the Toggler Snaptoggle and a plastic drywall anchor or a Molly bolt when it comes to ease of installation, speed, and strength. One of the best features of the Toggler Snaptoggle is that once installed, the anchor stays put even if the screw is removed. If you remove the screw on a regular toggle bolt, you'll have to start over. I can't say enough good things about this product.
What's not to like about something that's easy to use and supports a lot of weight? I'm not sure what they're talking about when they say half of them break. All of mine arrived undamaged, and as long as you follow the instructions, you should have no problems installing them. For the through hole, you'll need a 1/2" drill bit, so make sure you have one on hand. I'm confident that four of these will hold my TV in place, but just in case, I added a lag bolt to a stud. br>br>It's crucial to understand how these work; some people seem to believe that because the plastic is brittle, they can't support any weight. THE PLASTIC DOESN'T SUPPORT ANY LOAD; it's only there to keep the metal part in place while you tighten the bolt.
A quick summary: They break before they can be tightened because the plastic is so brittle. br>br>Long critique: Two of the four holes in a safe are being attempted to be anchored. I used lag screws because two of them were in the studs. It's not an issue. There isn't a stud in any of the other holes. I did some research on various anchor types. These are inexpensive and have a good rating. In reality, the flimsy, brittle plastic will snap before you can even attempt to tighten it. One of them snapped as soon as it was pushed through the half-inch hole. What brought it to a halt? Insulation is essential. We're all aware of how difficult it is to do so. Inside the drywall, the toggle would not flatten out. To flatten the plastic, you pull one side of it. With barely a grip, the plastic was yanked out. It was time to put in the included screw after I had two in and successfully into position. I heard a snap as I was trying to get the first screw into the metal toggle. Yes, the plastic on the inside of the wall had broken. I tried the other and it got all the way to the toggle! It didn't go into the toggle's THREADS, but it did push against them. I tried turning the screw while wiggling it to see if I could get it in with a little more finesse. And, you guessed it, there was a SNAP! 0 for 3. Before I used the gigantic turds for anything, I'd tape a dusty piece of wax with Scotch tape. They couldn't even hold Christmas tree ornaments. Spend your cash on something else.
This is an item that I adore. It acts as a support for a dry wall, allowing it to support a television and other items. It has a strong sense of safety about it. br>To use it, drill a 1/2-inch hole in the dry wall, insert the metal end, and even it out. Snap the excess materials off the access button by pushing it against the wall until it is flush with the wall. After that, you'll have a SECURE place to store your belongings. It's one of my favorites because you can re-use it. Without drilling a new hole or removing everything, you can use the system.
