  • I show you how to tighten a TP holder that has come loose.
    How to attach or fix secret shelving. Those brackets that look like they have no screws or bolts holding them in place.
    A viewer told me I needed to add a link so people could buy me a Beer or Coffee when they are so helped, especially financially by my videos, so here it is Thanks 😃: www.paypal.me/marksreviewstut...

    Thankyou. I was so stuck because my entire house has fittings like this, my towel rails, hand towel rings and toilet paper holders and all use an Allan key. I never thought about an Allan key. Thankyou! Now I can fix my entire home!!!

    This was excellent! I couldn't understand why it kept falling off. Your demonstration taught me I had the plate screwed in incorrectly. Also, learning the name of the screw was a huge plus too.

    My fixture would not stay on the mounting plate after tightening the grub screw. Your suggestion to use a hammer to re-flatten the mounting plate fixed it. Yes! Two months of frustration fixed in two seconds. Thank you!

    Legend! Just wanted to say thank you! Our toilet roll holder broke off, and that round bracket was still in the wall. You saved me hours trying to pry the thing off (and probably damage to my tiles, too)! So thank you for this! 😊

    Fantastic - this little clip really helped me. I am a complete idiot with anything to do with tools, and I just knew there had to be a way to get the damn thing off the wall without having to demolish it...I just needed a mini screwdriver (and the sneaky little screw was at the bottom of the holder - so I couldn't see it if I was standing erect)...job done - Thank you!

    This is great but my problem is I have a stuck grub screw (is that what you called it?) or set screw, very small, straight edge, underneath my toothbrush holder that i need to get off. I don't know what to do. Put a hole in the wall?

    • @Marksreviewsandtutorials
      @Marksreviewsandtutorials  ปีที่แล้ว

      Spray it with wd40 then wait a few hours then try again.
      If that doesn’t fix it cut it off with a hacksaw. Don’t damage your wall.

    I looked through the comments that were made but did not see the one piece of information that I was looking for and that is the size of the Allen wrench that you used. I cannot find where I put the Allen wrench I used to initially install my toilet paper holder so I have been trying to figure out from the wrenches I own in an Allen Wrench Kit the correct size. I did not want to strip the head of the screw on the bottom of the toilet paper holder.

    • @Marksreviewsandtutorials
      @Marksreviewsandtutorials  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Frank. They are not all the same size. with Allen keys pretty much they will either be too big just right or will spin inside the hole. I wouldn't stress about stripping anything.

    • @Marksreviewsandtutorials
      @Marksreviewsandtutorials  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If it won’t come off then the grub screw is probably still there. Or maybe it is bent. Try flexing the base

      @Marksreviewsandtutorials  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Matt Clifford There is no set size. There is even metric and imperial sizes for Allen keys.
      If you get a set of Allen keys that is best, then just try them until you get one that fits. 😃

    something as basic as a towel rack can serious put you in a anxious depression lol. I paid someone and they slapped it on the wall with the plastic anchors that came with it. Was loose in a day. Tried to fix it myself. No luck. Finally put toggle bolts in and that tighted the mounted FIRMLY to wall but the set screw doesnt seem to want to hold the bar securely. So irritating. Next thing is some strong silicone on the underside of rack and let that dry permanelty
