The toilet paper holder fell of the bathroom wall of my new apartment and this worked perfectly to fix it. Thanks so much!!
One thing you probably should have mentioned is that toggle bolts are single-use items. If you ever unscrew those bolts they drop down into the wall and are lost forever.
Was wondering if they can be removed. Thought the same
I’m sure you could use a double hook of sorts in the hole to close the wings and save the toggle
They're so cheap it doesn't really matter. You can get them back when you remodel and tear out the walls.
There are ways to keep the wings from dropping if needed such as putting silicon or something similar to hold it to the wall. use sewing thread or string attached to wings and extended back through the opening. I've never had an application were they were the best solution.
Keep a decent magnet stuck to the side of the toolbox.
If the material isnt to thick it should hold it in place through the wall
Ah thank you. "a mini grappling hook"! I knew all the bits, but hadn't put them together into this solution. Now I see it, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the quick useful video!
I didn’t think anyone wouldn’t be aware of these. I’ve used them as long as I can remember. Nice explanation of the product.
Thank you, everyone is very caught up in the new ones and many of those are great. I still find these impossible to beat.
This is my go-to in drywall situations. I was surprised that you covered it. Then I remembered those cool electrical connectors and was thankful that you covered them.
Keep the simple things coming, the obvious and not so obvious.
ive been dealing with a jiggling towel rack for the last 5 years 🤣🤣🤣
thanks for the tip!
Always appreciated!
I know this video will change so many lives lol I know what my quick weekend task will be.
Woo hoo! I lost 3 toggle bolts but I completed the task nonetheless 🙌🏽. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for posting this! I will be fixing a few toilet paper holders this week!!
Thanks so much for posting this! I literally had this on my to-do list, and thought I was just gonna have to move the towel rack and patch the drywall. And I probably would have used the same type of anchors I used in the first one that came loose. Lifesaver!
Ditto!
Too late for me... already did the patch job. Now I need to reinsert screws, but will do so using this method
I actually had driven a deck screw into something similar to hold it... it literally went through and the point is sticking outside on the house. yeah, overkill, I know, but it doesn't move anymore!
My wife says THANK YOU! 🤣🤣🤣
It worked!! Fixed a loose toilet paper holder! 🎉
This algorithm is insane, literally a loose towel holder in my bathroom to do list for a couple weeks
Top Notch Job and Greetings from Eire ☘🇮🇪
Thank you very much
You know, I keep having this problem with the toilet paper holder in my powder room. I don't know why I didn't think of this. Thanks!
Toggle bolts are always my go to. Whether it’s 1/8” or 3/16” or 1/4”.
Plus an 1/8” toggle is a 6-32 screw which you can use when Switch and receptacle electrical boxes are recessed too far in the wall!
I like the simple repairs. Very helpful
Great tip, I always forget about these
Perfect timing for this video. I needed this tip!
I bought a whole variety pack of toggle bolts at Harbor Freight… not the greatest quality but cheap and plenty good for my projects!
I had no idea these existed, so thank you!
Been using wing nuts for decades, only problems is when your wall too thick and/or there’s not enough space behind the wall or Sheetrock to push the wings in far enough without hitting something behind the wall to open the wings all the way. Once in a great while I’ll run into a place they just won’t work.
Great video. I have used toggle bolts for many years on towel bars and other fixtures. They are the best in my opinion.
Very informative!
I like the old bolts also for light objects
Nice thumbnail
We have concrete walls in our houses in The Netherlands. You’ll need different plugs and securing something heavy is never an issue
Your situation is a good one
Great video! (And extra points for channeling your inner Steve Lav)
I know he didn't invent that phrase, but I give him 100% credit for it being in my head, I always laugh when he says it.
That is AWESOME!
Ive ALWAYS use this type for everything
Thanks for the video I can definitely use a few of those in my Kitchen.
Thank you, They make a big difference and I find they rarely loosen up.
Just need a video now on how to remove a rusted in place set screw. My only work around involves a Dremel.
Ah yeah gonna be livin luxury now
Sometimes it's the little things that matter most
This is perfect; thanks much!
Very helpful, thanks 😊
Myself I just super glued mine
Hey if it works go for it. That kid just glued himself to the microphone on talk tv to prove a point. It can do anything!
pushing toggle through before putting the bracket in between, always a fun mistake.
Ty. 2:48 Or use a Milwaukee "M12" fuel "gen 2" (has to be gen 2 or higher) - which has a toggle button to change to Mode 1 = it screws in slower for more control. (It also has 2, 3, and drill mode when you need normal power.)
And use a plastic car trim shim that is angled, or grab onto the metal frame with thin plyers. This saves your fingers when the gap gets tight.
I really despise painters who don't take a minute to remove towel bars before painting!
► *That's how I have done it. Unless you have a pocket door on the other side of the drywall.*
Thank you!👍

Thanks this helps a lot
Glad you liked it!
I was hoping there was gonna be a wago connector for these
Instead of a toggle bolt, I prefer the sheet metal wings that pull themselves tight against the back of the wall. That way if you mess up and remove the bracket, you don't lose the toggle and have to go buy a new one. Like the next time your spouse or partner is painting and didn't need to remove the bracket, but did anyway...
What is a sheet metal wing? I did a quick Google search but the results were ambiguous.
@@3moirai A hollow wall anchor made of metal. Sometimes called a molly bolt (on wikipedia but I've not heard that term in my area).
They look like a bolt with a sheet metal sleeve around it. The sleeve is threaded on the far end and has a head under the bolt head, with little spikes to dig into the outside face of the drywall. Push the sleeve thru the hole. As you tighten the bolt the far end threads pull closer and force out the sides of the sleeve which expand like 4 little wings behind the drywall and pinch the drywall between the wings and the head of the sleeve. The bolt can be removed and reinstalled.
Kind of like a rivet nut, but for drywall.
I've seen similar made of plastic but haven't had as good a results with them.
@@Sylvan_dB thanks for the description - I was able to find pictures and know what kind of hardware you referring to. I'll have to check them out at the hardware store.
I haven't tried this, but I suspect you couldn cut the anchors down to the depth of the drywall and flush them up almost all the way up the bolt against the bracket. Then put on the toggle and tighten. Then your bolts will have less play in the holes. Might make your solution last longer.
I could be wrong about that. It might just be better to use bushings. Or, you know, just let good be good enough.
Great information as always but did I see no GFI outlet in Silver Cymbals bathroom? 😱😉 Have a great evening!
Grab the mounts that basically ziptie a insert to the back of the drywall so you can unscrew the bolt and it'll stay still.
For really HEAVY stuff, use a drywall toggle anchor (best of both worlds)...and you won't lose the spinny thingy you want to remove it (do-over, permanent, etc.).

Pin that comment. 😎👍
Why didn't I think of that 🤷
Will this work where the drywall is against brick 🧱? As I’m not sure the springs would have the chance to expand ; as there may not be a gap between drywall & brick? If someone could clarify, it’d be appreciated.
THANKS JUST WHAT I NEEDED COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO TAKE APART MY TOWEL RACK
My 55” TV is on my wall thanks to a toggle 😂
Now the question is, how do you remove these thing from the wall?
Unscrew the screw and the toggle will fall into the wall cavity. Single use hanger
Rock solid?.... You mean sheetrock solid?.... 😆
That's true
How do you tighten a loose toilet?
Trouble with these is that when you remove the fixture, the anchor drops into the cavity.
That's true but it's not really anything bad. You can get them out with a magnet but don't stress over it.
Who cares?
They're diet cheap and they won't hurt anything.
Mate if you have play wood behind plaster board it newer got loose 🤣🤪👎
You know you’re just making me really irritated at the so-called professionals who installed all of my fixtures when I redid the house.
