    To fix a hand towel holder that's been ripped out of the wall there's a way to ensure more fully that it won't happen again.  Use a toggle bolt and it will remain in place for a long long time.  I'll show you step by step how to do it.  I've also done this for toilet paper roll mounts and bath towel racks.  Toggle bolts are definitely the way to go.

    Thank you! New homeowner here and I’m sure you just saved me $100 which seems to be the basic rate for the smallest tasks lately.

    This was precisely what I needed, thanks - FYI for anyone wanting to do this, you don't need a power drill, I was able to do this with my electronics tool kit, as long as the screwdriver types fit, you are good to go.

  • @francesschireson-dody1516

    My husband has mild dementia now and I have never learned how to do the things he used to do. We own an apartment where one of the renters pulled off a towel bar. Your video is so clear that even I think I can master the repair. Bless you.

    Good stuff. I add contact cement to the part of the clamp that comes in contact with the dry wall, which allows me to remove and re-use the clamp should I replace the fixture. Not important as they are so cheap; but I just hate wasting a perfectly re-usable clamp. Thanks for the video.

    Nice idea, I have used the toggles before but had not considered them for this. Those large spiral drywall anchors are trash - not to mention they leave huge holes.

    The tiny pin that secures the rod to the wall bracket is broken, so I am looking for a way to remove it. Being both small, and flush against the wall are two strikes against it. Small pliers didn't do the trick. Looking for another way to removed it from the wall without unnecessarily damaging the wall.

    I do not have a problem with the bracket being ripped off the wall, our problem is the part that attaches to the bracket always falls off. Any tricks for that to keep it from falling off all the time?

    • @scruffydad9435
      @scruffydad9435 Před rokem

      Hopefully you figured this out already and I'm just helping the next person, but check the orientation on the bracket. Not just whether the correct side is facing the wall but also whether it's turned the right way. Sometimes you get lucky and there's a "this side up" looking arrow but sometimes you just have to guess.
      Also, loosen the little piece (screw?) that holds the cover to the bracket as much as possible when you're putting the cover on. Sometimes that little piece catches in a false set.
