Which Drywall Anchor is Best? Let's find out!

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.

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.

[@sortasurvival5482]

Sometimes you just gotta cut out the wall, add a backer board amd redo the wall. It sucks, but, sometimes its all that will work

[@djlowtek]

The self tapping ones are my favorite for a general purpose anchor. Easy to use and strong enough

[@jeffshackleford3152]

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.

[@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.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@11stantheman111]

I agree. I just moved and did that for 50+ anchors and over the years forgot what kind of anchor I had installed. Far less damage to repair.

[@zachlafond2652]

I just did this in my house...cut them flush with the wall and mudded right over the top. all good.

[@DavidSmith-fr1uz]

I use a utility knife to cut the paper around the lip of the anchor first before pushing through. Causes even less damage to the drywall.

[@KB-ie7jr]

You wouldn't at least try to unscrew the ones that have that ability? That seems like it would cause far less damage than what's possible with knocking them through and blowing out the back side of your drywall.

[@caitlinralston4432]

[@BoozyMcHound]

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]

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.

the fact it took over 180lbs to dislodge drywall fasteners is impressive. I think in practical use it would never fail, since I doubt most people are going to hang the weight of a full grown man from just drywall. I know which I'd use from now on.

[@ziegle9876]

As long as the load is constant, all is fine. The problem with drywall is the working loose of the fasteners with changing load direction and weight..... Typical is a toilet paper holder, where the absolute load is minimal, but most I have seen after a time are loose.

[@ConcernedCitizenPPCA]

Practical use is not loading it with over half the weight it's rated for. If it says 25 pounds don't put more than like 12 on and you'll be good. Drywall sucks to attach things to.the good thing is most of this stuff is just used to attach pictures. Anything for serious weight like a TV or what have you you'll want to hit a stud and forgo the anchors entirely.

I really like the self tapping split plastic ones. You can get them absolutely flush with the surface and paint over them without drips. And a screw can be removed and inserted again. I usually replace all cheap push in anchors with the plastic screw ones prior to painting (when the owner wants to keep the holes). Also you might be surprised at how well the Monkey Hook type things work.

I do the same thing. Those white nylon anchors can be reused.

Amazing video. You put in so much effort and really showed us the ins and outs to all of the anchor variants.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@Renassainceman]

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!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.

Cue Foo Fighters, There goes our hero watch him with those studs... seriously though, I've recently decided to learn basic skills having to do with diy home projects...not everyone learns the same, I love learning but as teaching methods often vary ...the learning experience can be wonderful or that of a letdown. I've been inudating myself with KZbin vids and i've not yet found 3 for me to save / serve as my "go to" - up until now. I love his teaching style and am certain that I'll soon be confident in my ability (as a beginner) to upgrade my space at home with skills that will produce sustainable results. Subscribed🛠

[@MikeBCNU]

Im thinking the vertical test is greatly affected upon whether or not the back piece [ toggle bar ] is vertical or horizontal changing the surface area against the applied force either way thank you for the videos - they are informative and they showcase interesting products thay may not win, but they can shine in other applications. :)

[@designstudio8013]

Maybe depending upon the clamping force in compression.

Really interesting video, I'm always using anchors at my job plus always doing stuff around the house and helping family etc. I had a good idea of which anchor was stronger but never saw it action like this lol. Now I have a much better idea of which one to buy. Nice and informative videos. 👍

My thoughts exactly

[@billmackey8388]

@DefinitelyNotDan Yeah! hours should have 100 minutes and minutes should have 100 seconds and days should have 10 hours and years should have 100 days! Off with their heads! What was it the dormouse said again?

[@realbudman]

@DefinitelyNotDan actually look into how all imperial measurements are now defined. Hint: they're all defined by metric measurements now.

[@realbudman]

@DefinitelyNotDan Oh wow. Your actually serious about calling it a communist thing.. I'm not going to converse with insane people. Particularly when they'll defend such a ridiculous measuring system.

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.

I go through a ton of anchors and I need different ones for different applications and for hanging different things of differing weights. Having data like this is great thanks. Some of these held WAY more than I thought they could and I've seen plenty of failures and fixed them. Very interesting.
