    Thank you for this video! I am embarrassed to say I did not know how to install a molly screw. My partner always did these little jobs, but since her passing I am on my own now. You made this very easy. Thanks again!❤

    I have a heavy mirror to hang... I was going to drill a hole first😬 Im so glad I watched this video. Anchors intimidate me. I always think Im going to be stuck with 5 big holes (where I made mistakes) hidden behind my artwork.

    • @TaDarling1
      @TaDarling1 3 роки тому +3

      I've seen videos where people have used power drills to drill the hole first and then pushed the anchor in. My issue with that technique is how do you know which size drill bit to use so your hole isn't too big (or too small). However, I must say this screwdriver method seems much easier and eliminates a lot of guess work.

      @@TaDarling1 Some, if not all, packs of anchors tell you what size drill bit to use to make the appropriate size hole. :)

    Thanks for the video! So does this mean the plastic EZ anchor is for when there's no stud behind the wall, while the metal or zinc anchor is for when you have a stud? Ie, you should use a different anchor depending on whether there's a stud behind your wall bracket or whatever you're hanging? thanks!
