Great video. I'm looking for something like this. My only question is, how did you find the center of the metal stud. Thanks for the help. I Subscribe as well
The mount I have has 3 holes that mount into one stud, it didn't come with toggle bolts as it was meant for wood studs or concrete. I saw in your response to another comment you can still just use the toggle bolts, but is it safe to do that on just one metal stud ?
Hello! I’ve got a tv wall mount which was designed for wood studs and concrete wall. I live in a condo with metal studs. I’ve also purchased a kit with titanium drill bits and everything you used in this video. Now I wonder if it’s safe to use the wall mount on metal studs when it was designed for wood studs?
I have a 32 inch tv that weighs about 35-40 lbs. The mount I have holds up to 77 lbs, but it’s 3 vertical holes instead of 4 holes in the shape of a square . Do you think the metal stud will hold it?
@@quicktechav do you think it will hold without toggle bolts? Do you think that metal drilling screws, drilled through the drywall directly into the metal studs will hold? Instead of drilling a hole into the stud and using toggle bolts?
Thank you! have you ever encountered an issue where one of the four toggle bolts won't screw in after being placed in the wall? The first three toggle bolts went in smoothly, and their corresponding screws were easy to secure. However, the fourth bolt is giving me trouble. I've tried three times with this one hole, and I've verified that there are no obstructions like pipes behind the wall. I can thread the toggle bolt with the screw outside the wall without any issues, but as soon as I place it in the wall and try to screw it in, it feels like the threading on either the screw or the toggle might be bent, preventing it from securing properly. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
@@senortrolls2617 make sure that the toggle is all the way in and straight laying flat to the back side of the metal stud if that makes sense and always hand thread before hitting with drill.
Did you use the screws that came with the toggle bolts? Make sure they thread in before you install. The only thing else wrong is if you didn’t get your zip ties straight before you snapped them. Those make sure the thread is straight in the wall so you don’t break off the thread or cross thread. When in doubt look in the wall before breaking tabs off to see threads

Yes just use the toggle bolts instead of the lag screws that come with it
What bit are you using? Mine leaves twisted metal behind
@@kh4l3dhi as long as the hole is made your good either a metal drill bit or a triangle bit

@@A1ExtraSauce it will be fine as long as you make sure all toggles go into stud

@@quicktechav asking for myself before i ruin this wall at my barber shop 😅
@@A1ExtraSauce it’s going to be alright as long as you hit that stud
@@quicktechav thanks bro 😎🙏🏾
my half inch drill bit (black and gold dewalt) isn’t going through the metal i tried for 5 min straight, what am i doing wrong?
Try using a step triangle bit
2 metal studs, full motion tv mount. 55" tv. Will it hold with 4 or 6 toggle bolts?
@@senortrolls2617 I’ve done plenty of 86” tv on 2 metal studs with 4 toggles all into metal studs

@@senortrolls2617 make sure that

@quicktechav Thank you I'm gonna try again with my 4th bolt for this hole 🤣
Thanks for your help
anytime
1/2 inch “METAL” drill bit will definitely go through exactly how the video shows.
@@snapbaxx83p10 yes
@@quicktechav keep up the good work Big Dawg you a beast 💪🏾💪🏾
thanks
Anytime!
Didn’t work. Did a 1/2” drill. Inserted toggle bolts. Now the screws are too small for the 3/16 hole. Idk man. I followed every single instruction.

You definitely edited this video! I’ve mounted on metal studs before and a cordless drill definitely doesn’t drill through metal that fast.
It does with the right bits and that are new if you don’t they are a pain in the but
Boom roasted

@@comradeski6683 you and the original comment is the dumb ones here.. Lean more about drill bits before trying to sound smart.
