  • Buying the right drywall anchor can be challenging with so many options and weight ratings. Anchors tested include EZ Ancor Dyrwall and Stud Anchor, Toggler High Performance Anchors, Toggler SnapSkru, Everbuilt Hollow Wall Anchor, Blue Hawk Toggle Bolts, E-Z Ancor Drywall Toggle Anchor, Toggler Snaptoggle BA. I'm not sponsored by any of these brands. I purchased all the drywall anchors and supplies for this video using my own funds. Thank you for recommending this video and please consider leaving a comment or video idea!

We tested what Weight Plasterboard could take as Tensile, shear and Cantilever loads at University Labs. So for its size, it is the strongest Plasterboard fixing on the market.

      Big plastic screws for your general purpose non critical if fails type stuff.
      Snap toggles for stuff that is critical if it fails, use a screw driver not the impact when running the screw into the anchor initially, after that you can use the impact.
      If both of those are not acceptable, cut the wall open and block behind it.
      It is ok to add anchors if you think they are needed.

      It's not that odd, especally if you've used some of the tested anchors before. EZ Ancor Dyrwall and Stud Anchor are my gotos but mine are branded Ramset but the stud bit is useless on hardwood. Still it's better than the first version that's just plastic & fails to penetrate 1950's composite drywall, even if the metal it's made from is just potmetal.

  • @IRDippy

    I just want to note that most drywall repair men will push anchors into the wall and leave them there. Pushing them through and patching that hole causes less damage than pulling them out, especially for toggles (obviously). Since it's hard to tell what kind of anchor is used, it's safer to just push all of them through.

      @KB-ie7jr 10 месяцев назад +1

      straight edge around it carefully or use a flat screwdriver to loosen/break the drywall around it, then hammer/punch it into the wall. That way the rip/splay will be solely on the inside of the wall and keep your patch/cover to a minimum.

    • @MichaelSteeves
      @MichaelSteeves 5 лет назад +11

      A great trick for smaller holes like an intentionally removed anchor is to give the drywall a good tap with a ball-peen hammer. The rounded over dent is the right size and provides a nice rounded transition between the filler and the drywall paper.

    An observation I made is that in the case of some of the toggle, for instance, the snap toggle, the orientation of the bar with respect to the load seems to have a lot to do with how it performs in the vertical weight pull. Of course, another observation is that the most weight each anchor is rated for, the more damage done to the drywall when it fails.
    I'm impressed with the approach and the amount of effort you put into your tests. Very valuable information!

    I love your videos so much, that I don’t care and probably will never care about drywall anchors in any way shape or form. I just love how thorough you are, but it’s never drawn out either! You are very detailed but stay right on topic all the time, and each of your videos flow very well! Thank you for making them.

    I love the care you put into your testing methodology. I'd say it's like you create a lab environment every time you test a new set of products.

      I'm an analytical biochemist. This is how all of science works- from something as simple as this all the way up to computers and rocket tech and climate science. EVERYTHING that is widely accepted fact in the scientific community is because there are a zillion examples of research papers that are basically this video providing strong evidence that things are true. This is why it's so infuriating to anyone with an education when people "don't believe in" certain areas of science because they contradict some political ideology. Tough shit, your ideology was wrong. Adapt. Human beings 1000 years from now are going to view today's Republicans as far worse than we view Nazis or Ghengis Kahn with their flat out denial of reality when it comes to climate science. Billions are going to die because of their narcissism and greed.

    4 years later I'm looking for drywall anchors and sure enough, Project Farm answers the exact question for me. Thanks again!
