Thank you, this was so helpful! I was about to pre drill two massive holes in my wall to get these giant anchors in, but thank God I watched your video first!
Thanks buddy I like your video because you get down to business you don’t digress into some insignificant back story to make your video longer no you just out the information that was helpful and I appreciate it. My dumb ass was breaking anchors and screwing up a simple job of hanging a towel rod. Anyways thanks buddy I subscribed because your a good guy
awesome video! so many random poor quality videos on this very simple topic and not a single one said that fixing a simple coat rack to drywall/plaster board is good enough and which fixing exactly to use! many thanks
Depends on how heavy the item is you're hanging and also the size of the anchor. What are you hanging up and I might be able to better answer your question? Thanks!
You cannot use quick screw wall anchors in plaster. You have to use plastic plug anchors. They are for plaster and brick. They can go close together. Plug anchors can hold quite a bit of weight. If you are putting alot of weight on the shelves use a larger anchor. Hope that helps!
Thank you. Any advice for when you’ve broken the tip of the anchor in the wall because your starting hole wasn’t big enough? How do you get the broken tip out?
Unfortunately, I don't really know how to answer you because I don't know if you are drilling in plaster or drywall and without seeing how the tip is stuck. You might could leave the tip and patch the hole and drill in a new spot. If you are drilling in plaster you'll need a plug anchor not an easy anchor like I used in the video.
@@ShowMeConstruction No problem. I was drilling into drywall. I used a screw driver to tap the broken piece of anchor through. I was then able to insert a new self-drilling anchor. Thank you!
so part of the screw is in the drywall plastic anchor and part goes through the wood coat rack. how long were these screws? i see drywall screws that are much shorter and it makes me think it might go through the wood but then the screw would be too short to also lock into the plastic anchor. thanks
At 3:32 you say "I like to just take the tip and just pre" What is it you are taking the tip of? I've never put in wall anchors before and I can't figure out how to get them in the tiny hole I drilled with a drill bit, So what is it you take the "tip" of to make the hole as big as you do? And how far deep should you make that wide of a hole? I'm only mounting a small 4-peg coat rack with 4 holes for screws on the front. It only requires small screws and small anchors but the anchors are still too big for the holes. I'm drilling into drywall.
For your application, going into a stud would be better, but i know its not always possible. In that case its better to install a wood backer behind the bracket, (approx 3" wide x 9" tall and 1/2" thick.) then mount your bracket on that. Hope that advise helps, thanks for watching.
Are you drilling into dry wall? If you are drilling into a tape joint sometimes that mud can become so hard it's very difficult for anchors to go through without breaking.
No drywall anchors for that you'll need solid backing. I have a backing video on my channel but it's for a wall and not ceiling. The same concept applies. Thanks for watching!
If you over tighten the anchors in the drywall they will spin out when you put the screw in. Meaning that the anchor needs to be flush with the drywall and not sunk in past the surface. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching. Please let me know if you have more questions.
They are easy anchors rated 75 lbs. and they have the drill tip on them. So you don't need to pre-drill a hole. I used the tip of my Phillips bit to start a hole so my anchor would not walk when I screwed it in. Thanks for watching!
I'm trying to hang my new blinds, but the screws will not go all the way in the window casing, and falls out. I tried using the EZ Anchors and that will not go all the way through and fell out. Now I'm stuck with big holes in the wall and white dust everywhere. What's happening, and what can I do to fix this issue?
I'm sorry, it's hard to say since I'm not there to see it. You might be hitting wood after the drywall. Are you putting enough strength into the screw gun to push it through. You might could try longer screws. You don't need anchors if you're hitting something past the drywall. You also might be hitting a metal plate.
@ShowMeConstruction Thank you for responding. I found out after watching several videos that I didn't have my drill on the right setting. New blinds are up now and look beautiful. Will worry about the wall repair later in the future. Yesterday was too exhausting. Thank you again for responding.
It's been years since I've used these, but at 75 years old, I'm on my own again and needed a refresher course. Thanks for providing it for me!
Thanks for watching!

I didn't know how to use these properly and unfortunately broke a few trying to get them in. Thanks for this tutorial!
Thank you! Today you taught me about dry wall anchors.
Simple clean demo; thanks bro! Not like some smart alec couple trying to look cute on a reality show and in for ratings and selling t-shirts and mugs.
Lol
Thank you!
Very informative, thanks so much for the quick lecture, it was so helpful
I'm glad I could be of help to you. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Mark!
My pleasure!
Impressive math skills! Still not sure why the number “55” for fifty-five inches was so funny… but I laughed too. Lol
😂
Thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeConstruction my pleasure love! I learned a thing a two too 😎 so thank you love!♥️

Thank you!!!!!! Simple and to the point
You're welcome!
Please advise what is the drill bit used to install anchors and screw . I am still learning the basics
If I remember correctly it was a 1/4 inch bit.
But it's based the size of anchor you are using.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks !!!
You're welcome!
Thanks
You're welcome!
Very clear instructions, thank you. How close together can you safely put the wall anchors in plaster? I can't find that answer anywhere today
Depends on how heavy the item is you're hanging and also the size of the anchor. What are you hanging up and I might be able to better answer your question? Thanks!

Hello, I am not sure what you're asking. Thank you for watching.
@@ShowMeConstruction I think he wants to know the screw length you used. I was wondering the same thing.
@@kenmcfadden4921 Thanks! I believe I used 1 1/2 inch screws. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for making this!
You're welcome. Thank you for watching!
My walls are too hard for the anchors after half an inch through, Any solution?
You might have plaster walls. In that case, you need a bit for concrete and a push-in anchor not screw. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching.
Thank you sir!
You're welcome!
Can you do that with screw driver? My instructions said to and they stopped going in before end and they broke in wall
Yes, it's very hard to do that with a screwdriver. A screw gun is the best.
At 3:32 you say "I like to just take the tip and just pre" What is it you are taking the tip of? I've never put in wall anchors before and I can't figure out how to get them in the tiny hole I drilled with a drill bit, So what is it you take the "tip" of to make the hole as big as you do?

I was talking about the tip of the screw gun. You can buy smaller anchors if you think you need a different size.
I drill my anchors into the wall.
Such a helpful video!! Would this work alright for a slightly heavy, wood coat hanger that has a shelf on top?
For your application, going into a stud would be better, but i know its not always possible. In that case its better to install a wood backer behind the bracket, (approx 3" wide x 9" tall and 1/2" thick.) then mount your bracket on that.
Hope that advise helps, thanks for watching.
@@ShowMeConstruction What do you mean by this? Can you cite a website showing what wood backer may be? Thx!

Can I put the hangers on my door??
Are you asking about the coat hanger or the anchors? A coat hanger can be attached to a door but not the anchors.
@@ShowMeConstruction so I can drill in without the anchors for the door??
Yes, you can drill into a door. Make sure your screws won't go out the other side.
I predrilled the holes all the way through and my anchors still keep snapping. Not sure if they are just a cheap brand or what.
Are you drilling into dry wall? If you are drilling into a tape joint sometimes that mud can become so hard it's very difficult for anchors to go through without breaking.
@@ShowMeConstruction Yeah. Eventually I just put a nail in the center and hammered it through on the one that kept snapping the anchors.
I need help with Ceiling mounts to install a projector. what kind of dry wall anchors I can use?
No drywall anchors for that you'll need solid backing. I have a backing video on my channel but it's for a wall and not ceiling. The same concept applies. Thanks for watching!
These anchors tend to rotate with the screw. Happens on some walls and not on some others! How do you prevent them?
If you over tighten the anchors in the drywall they will spin out when you put the screw in. Meaning that the anchor needs to be flush with the drywall and not sunk in past the surface. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching. Please let me know if you have more questions.
Would I use the same method if the anchors (clips) are slightly bigger? I.E drill the hole first
Yes, you can use the same method.
What size is your drill bit here?
They are easy anchors rated 75 lbs. and they have the drill tip on them. So you don't need to pre-drill a hole. I used the tip of my Phillips bit to start a hole so my anchor would not walk when I screwed it in. Thanks for watching!
