I like poopoo

Forget these I use home made Hercules hooks from metal coat hangers. You
can even temper them in the over but I don’t and they work quite well and
are free. They leave a smaller hole and hold more weight.

What if it’s in a modern apartment or office tower with metal studs
supporting the plasterboard?

What should I use on a stairway railing in my garage. The big bolt came out
of the dry wall, and I need to refasten it. So I don’t fall down my bloody
stairs! Thanks

I got the strongest drywall anchors I could find from Lowe’s and used them
to build shelving at my store. 5 feet of the shelving was anchored into
concrete blocks, and then it made an L shape and another 6 feet of shelves
went along the drywall. The concrete anchors were of course plenty strong,
but the drywall anchors impressed me! ONE standard has six holes in it,
after it was bolted to the drywall and I installed a few brackets I climbed
up and down them like a ladder. Holy crap. So after several more standards
and finally, the shelving, those are the strongest shelves I’ve ever built.
Stronger than the idiot contractors built us to begin with!

None that we know of. Unless you are willing to create a fairly large hole
in your wall. If you find a way let us know.

The toggle bolt looks permanent, removing it looks impossible

weirdest thing just happened, I got this video as an ad for this video

Which of these provides the most support (for something like a shelf)?
Build.com · September 15, 2014 at 4:54 AM
Depending on what the cabinet will hold and the amount of use, I would
highly recommend opening the wall and adding supports. If you’re filling a
23 lb cabinet with lots of heavy breakable dish ware then its worth it. If
the cabinet is decorative only I would recommend the self drilling anchors.
Some are reported at holding up to 135 lbs in 5/8″ drywall.

Detrimental, use a good quality wood screw if mounting into the stud.
Build.com · September 15, 2014 at 5:17 AM
It will depend on the size of the anchors. In this video we used a 1/4″ bit.

Attempting my first ever DIY project for a simple-enough contraption: a
guitar wall mount. Just wanted to clarify — plastic expansion anchors
(came with the wall mount in this case) are redundant if Im installing a
mount through an identified wall stud, yes? Will adding the anchors be
harmless reinforcement if drilling pilot holes into a wall stud, or
detrimental?
Build.com · September 15, 2014 at 6:22 AM
They can be quit destructive if done wrong. The easiest way to remove one
is to unscrew it all the way until the toggle falls off into the wall. Or
if that doesn’t work just remove the head with some cutters, and push it
into the wall.
Demetrius Garner · September 15, 2014 at 6:53 AM
What drill bit sizes would you guys recommend to drill the pilot hole for
the expansion anchor or the self drilling anchor?
kevinbollers2 · September 15, 2014 at 7:29 AM
So either way you have to lose the anchor itself into the wall. No way to
remove the entire piece as a whole
realslimnatey · September 15, 2014 at 7:31 AM
What do you guys recommend for installing a wall cabinet that is 23 lbs and
the location of the studs are not where you want it mounted?
J Sou · September 15, 2014 at 8:26 AM
This is good reference.
Luna Starling · September 15, 2014 at 8:30 AM
very helpful my walls are like sand so pretty much gave up on putting
anything on them.

We found toggle bolts to be some of the strongest. Check out our video
