Appreciate you sharing. I am putting up a heavy canopy over my bed with alot of material and needed this exact info. I have tried for a month to ask in different ways how to hang my canopy and got the run around. Now I can proceed.
Thank you so much for this video! I am confident with hanging things on my walls, but ceilings are new to me. Seeing these tests made me feel much more confident about my project plans.
My only comment/complaint would be- while testing weight- hold up the anchor you are testing at that moment so we know exactly which one is being tested- Again in the recap reinforce how much weight each held before coming through. Thanks for your test!
This is what I was looking for. Came home to our kitchen ceiling panel light hanging. The providing anchors weren't up to the task. You have a new subscriber. Thank you.
Very interesting and informative! I was also quite surprised by the load those two toggle style anchors held. Just found your channel and you have another new subscriber! Thank you from Wayne county North Carolina!
Thank you for this video! I was wondering which to use for the new shelves I got. They're small, just big enough to hold a couple small plants or a medium plant, so I'm not too concerned about them being able to hold loads and loads of books. Each bracket has 3 holes for screws, so 6/shelf... They came with the flimsy looking drywall anchors that you discarded at the beginning of the video, so I think I'm going to upgrade to the plastic Toggler brand. This video helped a lot! Thank you! ❤️
Absolutely brilliant. I'm a novice in ceiling plasterboard/drywall and this has really solved an issue for me regarding weight-bearing ceiling curtain track installation where no supporting beams can be located! Many thanks, really impressive.
@@campbellbuilt The Toggler Dry Wall Anchor did the job perfectly for us. Four metre triple ceiling track supporting heavy curtains with no issue at all. Many thanks again for the insight and info!
@@classicteachings just about to fix some track up myself to ceiling with soundproof gap (resilient channel). How's your curtains? Still attached? Sounds like a lot of weight - mine are about 10kg. How many fixings did you use?
Thank you so much for this video I really wanted to hang something for my ceiling I had my heart set on so I’m very grateful very informative very professional
very helpful info! i came so i can figure out how exactly to hang these plant lights. i had no clue drywall could hold so much weight with the right anchor. this makes my cat ideas much more feasible. cuz dummies like me thought to hold any meaningful weight you’d have to drill into a stud.
Thank you! My husband an I are making 72 hours kits that we want to hang from the ceiling in our coat closet. We are definitely going with your #1 pick.
This was really helpful, and exactly what I was looking for! If you guys ever want to do an updated test, I would love to see a timelapse portion of the video, for example, would they hold their max tested weight for an extended amount of time?
Thank you. I don't have much luck with a toggle hook. But I'm getting a swag pendant but I don't know how much it weighs. It is coming from etsy. Husband says it's drywall in the ceiling. We live in a mobile home and believe it or not we cannot find any beams in the ceiling. They maybe really high up where we can't get to them
This was exactly what I needed to choose the best anchor for a TV. The thing is only 15 lbs, but I'm gonna go well over that rating with those plastic anchors
Awesome work! I am planning on putting up a 25 lb mirror. I think the wall is a drywall or plaster. I am not sure. Put a small nail and it easily came off. Therefore, I am comparing the EZ anchor metal screw and the plastic one. Both videos have been seen. This is quite helpful with me making a decision.
I'm hanging about 55 lbs from the soffit under my roof between the house and the eavestrough. There aren't any soffit joists, only roof joists angled with the roof, so only 1 out of my 2 mounting bolts can sink into a joist. The original, wooden soffit (assumed to be 3/8" plywood) is under aluminum soffit making it difficult to add any blocking. Watching your video gives me a lot of confidence that a toggle-style bolt into 3/8 plywood should provide the strength I need to support at least 30 lbs AKA half (the other half supported by the roof joist) of my 55 lbs load.
Hi. Which screws and boards would you recommend if I have to screw in the old drywall ceiling to hold clothes using Ikea Elvarli post system clothing rack? Do I need to include a foam-like cement or normal Seen on TV flex glue with 1" board to secure my post?
Quick question I have a tv unit I want to mount I think it weights about 125 pounds with everything on top I can only get 2 studs can I use the 100 lbs ez anchors for the other 2 points?
I'm curious how would Toggler anchor do in case of acoustics, do you have any comments? I'm planning to fix 12.5 mm drywalls as the first layer right to the 22mm timbers which is fixed to the rafters, then another layer of 12.5mm drywalls and in between 10mm of cork sandwiched, and I'm curious whether can I use this anchor to fix the sandwich together so the outer layer drywall and the cork in between will be secured via this anchor to the first/inner layer of drywall, and there will also be a 12.5mm of plaster on outer layer. I have the feeling that since the anchor is made out of plastic and a screw, the plastic will be actually contacting mainly with the drywalls, and it can minimize the sound waves passing through one layer to the other. Especally the impact/contact sounds. I would appreciate if you can share your thoughts on, and or if you have any suggestion other than green glue, which is financially not affordable for me.
With the ez toggle, could I use a different screw like a taper screw head instead of the flat head that came with it...will the thread be an issue? Thanks
I used the white one to put cat shelves on the wall it says they are designed for 65 pounds but they are not good if you have an animal jumping on them. I would suggest you go with the last option the toggler the long white one.
This is amazing thank you so much! Quick question: if I need to hang something from a HOOK from the ceiling, can I use an anchor + a cup hook and just expect it to hold less weight?
wow thank you...I bought a ceiling driller with a swivel hanger to hang a swag lamp but Ive been hesitant to make the hole due to the reviews people gave on the swivel hanger. So your demonstration makes me want to try a different avenue. My swag lamp is all stained glass it weighs nearly 70lbs. so Im guessing you would use one of these 4 or one of the last three you demonstrated. If I lived in NC id just hire you but I live in SW Florida. What would you do?
I'm looking to hang a 22lb grow light from a drywall/sheetrock ceiling with 2 ratcheting hangers. I was looking for anchors with eyelets but I can't seem to locate any. I'm sure I can find the toggler anchors but I'm not sure why size screw these use. I would have to match up the screw portion of the eyelet with the screws that come with the anchors. Do you know if there are any eyelets that come with anchors that are reliable because I can't find any. I would like to have the extra lbs in the anchor since I will be adjusting the lights. Have any ideas? I would appreciate it. Thanks for the review. I like the Toggler plastic screw in anchor.
@@campbellbuilt No worries. I think I got it figured out. It was just a matter of matching up the eyelet screw with the anchor screw. I think it workout just fine. Of course, these T5 6500k lights are blinding but the plants love it. LOL
@@campbellbuilt - I’m sorry. I’m learning. How do I know how thick my drywall or sheet rock is? When you mention 5/8 you’re talking the thickness of what I’m screwing these into?
Drywall comes thicknesses of 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8. Almost all homes in America have 1/2 drywall on the walls throughout. These same homes might have 1/2 or 5/8 on their ceilings.
I dont like the aluminum. Dont believe rated for ceiling anyway. Might be good for a soft wood repair. I use a ton of the. Plastic versions. Self drill and split. Wonderful. Also not ceiling rated.

Top of the line production. Scientific, objective, and no nonsense! A+👍😎

I remember cutting a lot out of those videos to make sure they weren’t to long. Maybe I removed to much. Thanks for the comment.

Appreciate the sub and comment.
Thank you so much! This was exactly the video I needed to make final decision on what ceiling anchor to use.
I really appreciate you taking out the time to do this
Thanks

Great to hear!

Great video, thanks for the demo
Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you. Very useful.
the Zip style togglers RULE ...I started using them on the construction site 30 years or more ago and they cant be beat
THANK YOU for this video. Any chance you guys will do this for a wall??
Very interesting! Following! 😊

What is the best drywall ceiling anchor for 7/16 bike hook

Weight is one thing, force + weight is another thing
I usually just use the swag hooks because I don't like worrying about things falling down. I have never had luck with anything else. 🤷♀️
This is amazing thank you so much!
Quick question: if I need to hang something from a HOOK from the ceiling, can I use an anchor + a cup hook and just expect it to hold less weight?
Dose sheet rock get QC load tested from the manufacturer , and things like ceiling fans and chandeliers definitely screw into wood beams.
Do you have any experience with the Grip-it fixings? Think they might be a UK thing as they were on Dragon's Den...
I’m not, I’ll have to check that out.👍
Great info.
I wonder how much less weight would they hold with 1/2 drywall. I'm about to hang some cabinets that I can't hit all the studs since they are 24" oc.
Always find the studs mate, safety first don’t want it to give out one day, can always drill thru the cabinets

Thank you for this video! How do I know 5/8, 3/4, etc. ? I’m trying to hang plants from my ceiling.
Not sure I understand you question
@@campbellbuilt - I’m sorry. I’m learning. How do I know how thick my drywall or sheet rock is? When you mention 5/8 you’re talking the thickness of what I’m screwing these into?

Would this type of toggle bolt be enough to hold a 25 lb plant and pot?
100%
Awesome info!! Will the 2 Togglers that hold 200 lb - will be possible to use to hang a swing to carry an adult up to 180 lbs?
Do not I repeat do not hang a swing from drywall. Definitely need a stud at a minimum
Weight rating means completely still weight. Once weight has motion and force behind it it multiplies exponentially. In short dont.
Would it be double the weight if you use two of them to hang a swing
I’ve never tested that way. I assume the anchors will need generous spacing to handle double the load. My plans are to eventually test it though.
I dont like the aluminum. Dont believe rated for ceiling anyway. Might be good for a soft wood repair.
I use a ton of the. Plastic versions. Self drill and split. Wonderful. Also not ceiling rated.
oh mann... you still use all those pound and inch $hi+ when the whole world has standardize?
