snaptoggle fixings are a great way of fixing to hollow plasterboard walls. These plasterboard fixings are extremely easy to use and are one of the best fixings for plasterboard that I have used. Brought to you by www.ultimatehan...

These little gems are as cool as it gets! Used them on 1/2" drywall, with insulation behind where my curtain hanger pulled out, leaving a 1/2" hole in the wall. I needed the hanger to exactly where it was, and used the snap toggles, and was quick and rock solid when done. Thanks for a great invention!

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment ;-)

[@rubenmiranda7487]

I used these recently and in my opinion they were perfect for mounting a TV on metal studs. I thought the plastic part was what was holding the TV but once I used them I understood the plastic just facilitates getting the anchor into the stud and holding it in place until the screw is in. It's actually a very secure system and I will use it again.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, these are great in many applications. Thanks for the comment

[@LauraBuell]

Thank you for this and several of your other vids on similar items to attach something to drywall. After looking at all of them, I have decided to go with the hollow wall anchors since I don't have a drill and frankly I don't have anything that incredibly heavy to hold. I am a 47yo divorced mom who usually can pay for experts like you to do this type of work, but after being laid off as a defense contractor, I am doing these tasks myself now. I feel very confident I can do it, thanks to you! I like how you were straightforward and to the point and your video didn't waste my time at all.

[@ultimatehandyman]

You are welcome, I'm glad the videos help Thanks for the comment ;-)

[@cappyfann750]

I've used a lot of anchors in my long life. Had never heard of these before. Now, I want them!

[@ultimatehandyman]

These are my favourite plasterboard fixing 👍

[@dagvc1]

Best fixings in the market!! Nothing works as well in plasterboard.

[@dlzigmond]

Viewed several other videos.....yours was short and to the point. Great job! Now I understand!

[@ultimatehandyman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@melissal7984]

I will purchase these this weekend! Thanks for the great video!

[@ultimatehandyman]

👍

[@seesthruu]

Great news thank you, i just ordered two packs from ebay they are listed under "toggler hollow" incase you were looking for any more in the future.

[@jasoncartwright586]

Thanks - just what I was looking for :)

[@SuperWayneyb]

@ultimatehandyman I am going to order 10 packs.As a Plumbing,Heating and property repair company these will be great :)

[@stevenquinn1744]

nice one chaz, just after buying 10 of these on ebay for 9.89 pounds, half price compared to amazon, good video as ever, cheers from ireland

[@ultimatehandyman]

steven quinn I just bought some myself for a similar price on ebay for some upcoming projects ;-) Thanks for the comment ;-)

[@stevensimmonds2085]

You need minimum 50mm space in the cavity and no cavity insulation for these to work otherwise they don't fold out

[@ultimatehandyman]

That is correct. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@madhazza64]

Just used these today. Only issue is if you have insulation being the plasterboard. Best clear it away before putting the bracket in. Otherwise the TV is still on the wall for now lol. I got mine from eBay for 7.99 for ten

[@haj1111]

Yes, I never thought of that - though it's a downside I'm prepared to put up with sd spring toggles are all I can get hold of in the UK. £8 for a pack of 20 from screwfix so I don't mind losing a few.

[@Paul-pj5qu]

Thanks. I had one left over from a previous project and I couldn't remember the install process.

[@ultimatehandyman]

You are welcome!

[@SuperWayneyb]

There are some on there now a pound a packet plus delivery with a discount on delivery for larger orders thanks for the video am going to give them a try :)

[@Benzknees]

Great product and review! What size of screw does it take? Are there several different sizes for different loads/jobs?

[@seesthruu]

You Sir are a god, just subscribed spent hours watching You're videos, great to see a top drawer tradesman at work, would these snaptoggles be suitable to hang an electric fire onto plasterboard?....if so you just got me out of the doghouse :)...keep up the good work.

[@pulmonq2]

handyman, you know on your spring toggle video where you failed to push it all the way through at :50 and someone got very upset about it. If I were you, I'd have pretended on this video to fail at pushing the snap all the way through as well, and cut to a shot of it fixed. Just to mess with people. He'd see it and be "OMG YOU DID IT AGAINNNN"

[@haj1111]

Thanks for the great video, these can be bought in screwfix in the UK - they're called spring toggles

[@toddlingon]

Awesome. You can get these at Lowes (in the USA), fyi.

[@mick.Walker]

@ultimatehandyman good job i didnt order any then, thought they were pricey lol

[@jonb5817]

On sale at ace hardware this month if your still price checking. Be careful 6ft distance ol timer.

[@huntleyillinois5767]

Dang.. those toggles look good. Gonna get me some!

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment

[@DamarisDance]

Great video! I bought these, but had issues with some of them. It seems like part of the wall is different, and the screws just go through without any pressure. I have tried 3 different ones and having the same issues. HELP!!

[@RHossall]

@ultimatehandyman ok thanks.

[@FuknNoName]

are these decent enough for some shelves destined for lightweight stuff, kids books? 240lbs you show so i guess so. The brackets are quite thick and 50mm spring toggles are not long enough. Could get 80mm from T&P but these look damn good. Cheers for demo!

[@elplakcomencioservicogesso1739]

Tanks Man !

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment

[@MarioMin]

The old TV hanging question. If your wall is plasterboard and you can't get to the studs for whatever reason, does the fixing you choose matter or should you just bite the bullet, cut through the plasterboard and fix to the wall behind (or maybe add a noggin)? I've been fighting with wall anchors for half a day and they keep popping out. I think they can't be used when there is a gap between the anchor and the final surface.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Some plasterboard anchors are not very good I'm afraid. Snaptoggles are one of the best and will enable most items to be hung successfully on plasterboard. If you can find a stud or noggin, better still. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fma4YaaCgN59gNk

[@MarioMin]

That's the problem. I couldn't find a stud or noggin, looks like that board was blobbed onto the outer wall, so I drilled into the outer wall and tried to use proper wall anchors and not hollow wall anchors.

[@ultimatehandyman]

***** I recommend these for plasterboard with solid wall behind- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpK8l6ZpoddkoKs They fix really well ;-)

[@ChefRojo]

Great demo, thanks

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment ;-)

[@itsalwaysfunnyinphiladelph8885]

You can now get an equivalent product at screwfix called 'zip-fix cavity wall fixing. £4 ish for 10 (m6 thread) November 2018

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment

[@Itz.Jalennnn]

So I could use this when I’m mounting a projector to my drywall ceiling

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, they should be fine for that unless the projector is particularly large.

[@ryanhosiassohn7176]

These are great, Wish they sold them in South Africa

[@ultimatehandyman]

+Ryan Hosiassohn Yes, they are very good. Thanks for the comment

[@RPeterF]

I used these to install a microwave hanging bracket into a metal stud. I used 3 altogether. 1 in the stud and 2 in drywall, The bracket would have easily held me. They're not expensive - $3.00 for two.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment

[@FOODKINGUK]

Hi what is the difference in the M5/M6 size which is best suited for the job when fitting the Tv on the wall Thank you

[@ultimatehandyman]

M6 will be slightly stronger than M5 as the bolt is 1mm larger in diameter. This might help- kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ3dqIxta7Rjmpo Thanks for the comment

[@7lol2007]

i have a question i have a wall behinde the dry wall this toogle dosen't work what can i do?

[@julianfriedl809]

Depends on which wall is behind there, there's one for everything

[@kelvinocasio4912]

I know you have answered millions of questions like this but here is my question. So I want to hang my tv on the wall with this snaptoggles. The TV weights a maximum of 60 pounds will 4 of them work?

[@ultimatehandyman]

+kelvin ocasio There are a few variables and there is no definitive answer without seeing it, because some TV brackets extend from the wall- increasing the load on the fixings. But if it's flush to the wall or only extends a few inches then 4 snap toggles should easily hold it. It's best if you can space them out as far as possible though, by using the 4 corners of the fixing bracket as you do not want all 4 fixings grouped together.

[@mondi26mig]

just what we need, perfect, thank you!

[@ultimatehandyman]

You are welcome Thanks for the comment

[@markjprobert]

Great video, I’ve watched a few of your wall fixing videos trying to decide how to hang a really heavy teddy holder (from ikea) in the corner of a bedroom where there is no wooden joist to hang it from. The hook they have provided has a circular base with four holes (ikea item EKORRE) - would these snap toggles be suitable for attaching this to a plasterboard ceiling?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Fixing to a plasterboard ceiling is difficult, if you can't fix to the joists because the pull out force is much different than if the fixing was used in the wall. The item you have linked to looks like it is designed to be screwed to the joists, can you not get access to the loft above the bedroom ceiling and perhaps fix a piece of timber to spread the load over a larger area?

[@markjprobert]

Ultimate Handyman That is a good idea - thanks for the advice

[@briangaldis1797]

I put a few of these in for a bathroom sink cabinet and it seems to be holding well, however I didnt account for the sink overhang and should move the cabinet over a couple inches - is the wall no longer going to be secure if there are toggle holes only a couple inches away from the new holes? or should I just leave it and make do with the overhang being slightly off on each side for wall integrity?

[@ultimatehandyman]

+Brian Galdis It depends on the weight of the cabinet. As you point out the plasterboard will be weakened where the snap toggles are. The snap toggles can hold a lot of weight though, so providing the cabinet is not too heavy it should be fine.Thanks for the comment

[@mattharris203]

I have a 28kg mirror with two hangers to wall mount on double thickness plasterboard. Will two of these hold it?

[@ultimatehandyman]

They should do, here is the weight test- kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3Snqqacg82rlac

[@tomhogan27]

would these be able to hold a 32" tv on a plasterboard wall with a total weight of 7kg?

[@oldcodgerplaysgames9610]

Make sure they go open vertical rather than horizontal

[@ultimatehandyman]

👍

[@RHossall]

I like the video, but how do you remove them? do you just hammer them through? :P

[@nickluke2006]

do they come with the bolts??

[@jonb5817]

Ya want nuts on dem bolts ?

[@StevenSugref]

I'm trying to hang a microwave bracket and have drilled 3 16mm holes and tried to use spring toggles to secure it, but they're absolutely terrible and just won't grip snug at all. Would these snap toggles work or are they too narrow? Any other suggestions as to what I could do?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Steven Fergus Yes, these should work. They are much better then spring toggles.

[@dr.zoidberg4313]

When I went to the local hardware store I called it a fap snoggle and they all laughed at me. I really need these but I don't want to go back. The ridicule. I might just try online.

[@dgoldilox]

Oh that made me laugh, I bet you made their day!

[@misterj1396]

Lol

[@YeahButStilll]

Just be like “oh, you boys call ‘em snap toggles ‘round here? Alrighty then, snap toggles it is then boys.” Then quickly change the subject - “say, what’s a fella gotta do to find a half decent brisket ‘round these parts?”

[@chrisjw37]

I have to get me some of those; any idea who sells them? (England)

[@BooKitty8798]

Im wanting to mount a 32" tv on a wall where there is, unfortunately, no studs. It's actually between two studs. Would this help? Could it hold it up? Please help thanks!

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, these are probably the best option, as long as you use a few of them to hold the bracket. I'd try to get at least 4 of them in the wall.

[@pabz3109]

Do you know if these are ok to go through 3 layers of plasterboard as our dividing wall between the houses the used 3 sheets. Thanx

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes as long as the bolts are long enough (you might have to get some longer bolts)

[@scottishjimmy9813]

Do the screws come with the snap toggles? If not how do you determine what screws to use? Thanks

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, the screws normally come with the Snaptoggles unless you buy them in bulk boxes in which case you can buy just the toggle part, which would be for example M6 size- you can then use an length of M6 machine screw with that toggle. Thanks for the comment

[@staiboy1]

home depot has them

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment 👍

[@nwjones1]

Does it matter if the toggle is horizontal rather than vertical?

[@ultimatehandyman]

I think they will be stronger if they are installed so that the toggle is vertical rather than horizontal Thanks for the comment

[@mick.Walker]

6 for £10.99 free postage on ebay, good usefull video, thanks

[@bLitz72]

Help! The metal part of my toggler fell inside the drywall, is this an electrical hazard? It fell right above the wall outlet!!

[@ultimatehandyman]

It should be fine as the outlet should be insulated so the toggle should not be able to get in to the outlet to cause any damage.

[@Domm2495]

Does anyone know if these be good for holding a floating tv unit?

[@ultimatehandyman]

This might help- kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ3dqIxta7Rjmpo

[@samanthafuge9874]

would these be ok to use to put a 47" flat screen on the wall? I'm scared if the TV rips off the wall.

[@ultimatehandyman]

+Samantha Fuge It's always best if you can get a couple of screws into one of the studs that are in the wall, this shows how to find a stud- kzbin.info/www/bejne/fma4YaaCgN59gNk If you can't find a stud (which is unlikely with such a large TV) the snap toggles are probably the best fixing on the market for heavy items, so they should do it easily providing you get the heavy duty ones. A combination of studs/ a stud and snap toggles will give you the best fixing possible on plasterboard.

[@samanthafuge9874]

Ah thank you, iv just ordered them exact snap toggles you used in the video. I just hope it works.

[@harryjackson1993]

Would these be safe to mount a tv to a plasterboard wall, Samsung 40inch. Thanks

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, but it's best to use a few of them spaced out as much as possible to spread the load.

[@harryjackson1993]

Yes, I'll space them as far apart as possible. Thanks for the reply

[@ultimatehandyman]

You are welcome. Good luck with it ;-)

[@tylercgarrison]

i feel ashamed that I call myself a handyman and never knew these existed til today

[@ultimatehandyman]

These are probably my favourite plasterboard fixing, also known as Zip fix fixings- kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqPCfqadoL2meKM

[@BoyceBailey]

"Too pricy", but they drop the price in 90 days and they still have 180 days of fixes to complete. Can you review this again when a 5090 is out?

[@hippopotamus86]

How many KG?! I've seen these destroy the plasterboard with less than 40kg.

[@ultimatehandyman]

It depends on a few variables such as the thickness of the plasterboard, but this should give you some idea- kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3Snqqacg82rlac

[@hippopotamus86]

Ah many thanks. They did use them to wall mount a TV, it was up for about a month before it just fell down. Possibly over tightened. I've got some Ikea floating shelves I need to put up into plasterboard but have been putting it off. I believe the studs are metal which I found out while trying to put one of those drywall screw plug fixings into the wall for a notice board. The issue is that the studs are further apart than the holes in the bracket. Would you say to make new holes in the bracket, or should it be ok to use some sort of dry wall fixings like in this video?

[@ultimatehandyman]

It depends what weight you intend to put on the shelf after installation. For light items you could use spring toggles, but for heavy items it is best to find the studs and fix into those to be on the safe side, even if that means drilling some more holes in the bracket. Thanks for the comment

[@chrisjw37]

search for 'Toggle Hollow' on e-bay sadly not cheap

[@alcameron6071]

Meester Chris I have been using regular toggle bolts for years. Instead of that one piece that pivots, there are two wings that fold into each other. After you drill the hole in the wall, do you pinch these two wings together and push it through the hole with the help of the bolts. After you push it in, you can feel the two wings flip open and then you tighten up the bolts. One word of caution, before you push the wings through the wall, make sure you have whatever you’re going to fastened to the wall already onto the screw and through the wings. Then simply push it through the wall till they open, pull it back with slight pressure and tighten up the screws. You’re done. For your information they sell them in three different weights. Lightweight, medium weight, and heavy weight. It all depends what you’re hanging and how heavy they are. Look at the weight rating on the package.

[@liiliiliiliil]

will this work with plywood ?

[@ultimatehandyman]

+Herbert .Gatchalian Yes, these will work with any sheet materials.

[@nananewman8510]

do you have UK buying link?

[@ultimatehandyman]

fave.co/2lPYljU

[@benecoyote]

Can be used to set a ceiling fan?

[@ultimatehandyman]

+benecoyote No, they are not designed for a load like that. You need to find the joists really or lift floorboards above and put a piece of timber in to take the weight.

[@benecoyote]

***** I get it. I'm from Brazil, and here some roofs are made with this brick >>> www.tijolobaiano.com/39-126-thickbox/tijolo-baiano-.jpg

[@ultimatehandyman]

+benecoyote Oh, ok. They should be ok if your ceiling is made from those blocks providing you can get the toggler into the gaps (you might hit a solid part). Most ceilings over here are plasterboard and cannot take much weight when being pulled in this direction.

[@benecoyote]

***** Thank you!!!!!!

[@jamesbullen1039]

Hard to find in the shops in the UK so like somebody else in the comments said found them on Amazon here amzn.to/30ZtUK3

Thanks for the comment 👍

[@g3mm485]

Do you think that they would hold my 60" tv on the wall?

[@rosgembrun]

Screws vs bolts? What size?

[@ultimatehandyman]

You can use machine screws or bolts, providing you get the correct thread. I think the USA ones are 1/4 inch unc. Not sure about the ones in the UK, I think they are available from M5 to M8

[@rosgembrun]

@@ultimatehandyman Thanks for the prompt reply. I spoke too soon. When I fully unpacked the toggles I found bolts included. There is a lesson to be learned here.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Ah Right, I thought perhaps the provided screws were not long enough etc. Snap toggles are one of the best fixings for plasterboard (drywall) in my honest opinion.

[@seaneredia5199]

Is it strong enough to hang my tv? Coz my wall is thin af too...

[@ultimatehandyman]

It's better if you can fix to a stud, especially for a TV kzbin.info/www/bejne/fma4YaaCgN59gNk

[@seaneredia5199]

What if my wall has no studs? My tv is 12kg btw...

[@ultimatehandyman]

If it has no studs, then how is the wall constructed? If you can't find the studs then snap toggles are one of the best plasterboard fixings available.

[@seaneredia5199]

Oh shit yeah my bad my bad XD. Ill find the studs now. Tnx
