Testing The Best Drywall Anchor Plug Inserts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- When you can't attach directly to a stud in your wall the next best option is a drywall anchor plug insert. It doesn't matter if your hanging a new big screen TV or a piece of artwork, you want to use the strongest anchor possible while doing the least damage to the wall.
In the video I test how many pounds each anchor can hold before it fails and show what they operate inside your wall. This will allow you to decide the best anchor for any specific use.
All Anchors are 1/4 inch and using the screws supplied in the package.
Anchors Used:
-EZ Anchor
-PlasPlug
-Paulin Toggler TA Plastic Toggle Hollow Wall Anchor
-Duo Power Contractor Strength Anchor
-Hilti Nylon Anchor
The Toggle anchor wasn't shown being tested. Its meant for a outward pull, putting it into a different category. As a result the anchor needed minimal force pulling upward or side loading the anchor before it failed.

Great video! Super helpful!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Very helpful, thank you for sharing.
Thank you hope it helps
The last one should have come with a yellow push pin. You put it into the hole and it helps pop out the wings.
It came with a red push pin but after 2 packages 0 deployed correctly
that toggler anchor has a red or yellow push stick that pops it open. I swear by toggler. they exceed their weight. you need to tap it with a hammer making it flush to the wall.
Why you didn’t test the last Metal anchor?
It failed almost instantly, the butterfly toggle anchor is meant for an outward pull not side loading. Because the weight was just on the side of the bolt against the drywall. If I was pulling away from the surface it would be a different story. I had a few people ask so I did include it in my second drywall anchor video on my channel to better illustrate what the issue was.
@@ToolsThatBuild so its a great ceiling anchor for old fluorescent tube lighting.... that i struggle to get out....
@@goforvendingtofu absolutely usually a good thing they good so well until the day you need to remove them.
this is only partially helpful as you did not test tension strength - the force of pulling the anchor straight out of the drywall. why did you choose to only test shear strength?
Great question. The force shown in the video is what the majority of anchors are put under. The only time one will be pulled outward with more force than lateral (as shown) would be a shelf or something sticking far off the wall to cantilever against the anchor. It’s much less likely to have that kind of force put on it. Additionally it’s usually not a good practice to hang a shelf solely on anchors due to the un predictable weight added to the shelf.
Tension strength as you call it just for the most part isn’t practical.
