My girlfriend's mum wants me to put up something and I thought I'd have to use these but wasn't sure how they worked. You've saved my skin and made me look like I'm not completely useless. Cheers.

Thank you so much!
I have a very heavy vertical radiator to fix to my living room wall and the Mrs was just about flaking out thinking that the plasterboard wall wouldn't hold it . No amount of explaining there were fixings that could handle it could persuade her , until i showed her your vid . Thanks :)
If you hadn't posted this I would STILL be sitting here scratching my head like a furry ape. Thank you. Other videos I saw were not nearly as clear about what is what!! :)
Cheers mate I got some of those fixings from B&Q but I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without your demonstration, particularly using your thumb to stop it rotating as you screw into it. Now the mirror is on the wall, my mum is happy and has one less thing to worry about, and I want to learn more. Thanks....subscribed.
Great. Thanks. I've just taken possession of a static caravan with very thin hollow walls. This is really useful. It's too good you showed us what happens on the other side of the bord.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My coat rack fell off the wall this weekend. I had the rawl plugs but no idea how to use them! Now I have! Thank you for teaching so well 😜
Thank you Thank You Thank you!!! The Perfect Video!!! I kept saying oh I hope he shows it from the back AND THEN YOU DID!!! Plus you then put up a piece of wood, which is exactly what I want to do!!! YEAH!!! It made it all so clear!!! I feel so empowered now!!! Thank you AGAIN for making this great video and sharing it!!! :)!!! :D!!!
Thank you so much for showing how to do this. My husband is disabled and can't do like he used to so I have to do things. I was able to get the job done. Thank you
Thank you so much for this as never knew how they worked and want to put cat shelves up onto hollow/plasterboard walls. Great easy video to follow for keen DIY wannabes :) like me who really want to make a good job and feel proud to do my own diy as a single mum :)
How did they hold up ? That's my plan this weekend with the cat shelves, used the red grip it's but they came out the wall on my 45% angle shelf for some reason
Thank you for the video! I bought my hollow wall anchors at the local hardware store months ago. Today when I wanted to use them I couldn't remember how they worked. I appreciate your video to show me what I needed to do. Thank you so much!
1.2 million views. You did a fantastic job of explaining this. Thanks for the visual aid also. The packet I got only had 3 pictures and no real explanation of anything
Good vid. I use these all the time so watched purely out of curiosity. Personally I find the setting tool is worth having for £10 or so it costs. It pulls the screw outwards rather than turning it. Therefore no turning force is put on the fixing whatsoever, so those teeth you mentioned stay firmly bitten into the wall with no turning/snagging/tearing. Your way clearly works, but if you’re a bit unskilled like I once was, if you don’t hold the fixing when your first start screwing it up, those teeth slip and make a mess of the wall, and it might not hold. Setting tool works a treat and only takes one second to set each fixing.
Thanks for this video buddy. I was using these fixings and wondering why the fixing kept spinning and not tightening up. Didn't realise you had to screw it tight first so it gripped the back of the wall and THEN remove the screw. Thanks again 👍👌
Thank you! These little buggars have been frustrating for me. You showed how to use the proper size according to the thickness of the drywall! Now I understand why some I've used, never tighten! Here in the US, the different sizes are labeled for how much weight it will hold. So, I bought according to that. if it's too long for my wall, it won't even work! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the demo. I wasn't sure if I was to push them in first or not, but couldn't imagine how it would work if I didn't. I thought I had better watch this, before I messed up a hole in my wall. There are curtains in my future!
VH You are welcomeThanks for the comment ;-)I do intend doing a video on how to use these with the correct setting tool in the next few weeks.Sorry for the late reply, there seems to be a problem with the CZcams comment system!
Your video was so helpful! I didn't know why the screw was just spinning around. Thank you for explaining and showing that the different lengths of the anchor "neck" matters!
The first one I did ate the wall to shreds but with the next one I went super slow and held a large flat blade in one of the cut outs (to help stop it spinning) and they all stayed put! Watched your weight test vid too so feel more than confident they will hold, that's a first haha! Great vids, nice one.
Thanks for the demo! Using these to hold up heavy shelves to plasterboard. But was funny when you said "somewhere near level" and taking a look at the spirit level made me chuckle :D
When drilling the hole, make sure you are using the hole specified for the particular anchor being used. Also, you may want to use a stud finder in case you want to avoid lining up with a stud. (Or maybe you actually are hoping to find a stud and thereby forego the anchor in that one position)
Great video. I installed the short one in wood panels. It was spinning & spinning. Finger strength alone wasn't working. I found it useful to do two things: 1) start the expansion before sticking the anchor in the wall, & 2) holding the anchor head down with the open end of a 10mm wrench. This allowed for better downward pressure & the fingers on the wrench took hold in the 2 grooves on the anchor head.
Brilliant! Thank you so much for posting this! I just had to use two to keep a tall bookcase from toppling forward and didn't screw the screws in tight like that first, only through the rubber piece supplied. And the piece didn't splay. Now I know why! Thank you!👍
Thanks. I want to hang a shelf up that won't have much on it. More for decorative (and very light) stuff but the shelf kept pulling out of the wall. We have a package of these that my late dad had, but I didn't know what they were or how they worked. I will have to do this tomorrow! Thank you!
These do work better if you use the setting tool for them, although some brands will work fine as shown in this video. Good luck with it and thanks for the comment. czcams.com/video/7mpcer0QzW8/video.html
thank you so much!!! you saved my life!!! I didnt know how to fix the big hole on the drywall on the staircase rails. the hole on the drywall got too big and the screw to hold the rail was too small now!! hahaha thank you!!!
I've always wondered what they look like from inside the cavity! I've used these to mount a 50in plasma and 6 years on its still up (the studs were in the wrong places) thanks! 👍
@@mikeg.8904 they work great but dont use them for a heavy plasma tv!! I made that mistake because I couldnt find the studs. And it actually held for like 4 years. But one day crash and my whole tv ripped out of the wall and shattered on the floor! 3 K out the door!
Sorry mate, just finished actually watching rest of the vid and you've answered my question as you obviously didn't need the setting tool! Great stuff. Cheers.
No, problem. It's best to use the setting tool if the plasterboard is not skimmed with plaster or if you have a lot to install. Thanks for the comments
It's a fairly new internal kitchen inside an old Glasgow tenement and the plasterboard has been painted, so i'm unsure as to whether they would have skimmed it first. Is it likely that they may have just painted directly over the plasterboard? I know it's difficult to say without seeing it.
This video shows how much weight certain fixings can hold, it might be of interest- czcams.com/video/ECDysfNhx_E/video.html What are you fixing to the plasterboard?
Cheers for that link; I had previously saved it in my Liked vids as will no doubt need to refer to it later. What I'm fixing is this: www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/storage-furniture/bathroom-storage/grundtal-wall-shelf-stainless-steel-art-00011428/ The description says the max load is 17kg but I'll only be storing some fairly light glass crockery and some plastic tumblers and wine glasses so I can free up cupboard space, so not a huge load, however I'd rather use the best fixing so it's done properly; don't want the shelves to wobble at all.
You are limited to which fixings you can use with something like that, because some fixings need a large hole. I think the hollow wall fixings would be best for that shelf or perhaps Rosett plasterboard fixings would work well, I have not done a weight test using them but tried them once in this video- czcams.com/video/mIEY3E4fiDk/video.html
So helpful! Thanks! I really appreciate the REASON can't use a longer anchor for plaster walls.... the mechanics of that would have not occurred to me. Thanks!
You are welcome for the comment. I like being able to find videos that explain in step by step instructions and demonstrations how to do various tasks -- building, renovations, repairs, cooking, caring for pets, etc. Such videos are rather useful. There is a need for them as they prevent others from making too many mistakes, and if and when mistakes are made, they can be remedied by finding resources such as those you have made available on youtube.
Brilliant! I’ve used these for large pieces of artwork and was wondering if they would be strong enough for a wall mounted TV. Pretty confident now that they’ll do the trick !
Please pin this comment becasue even if this didn't happen in this video or to anyone following this advice, it certainly happened to me. Without using the setting tool this plug just chewed a hole right through the plaster and I had to push the rest of it down into the cavity - and this was using a hand screwdriver and not a drill. I should've watched some more videos that instructed that when using this type of plug the setting tool is essential. Just FYI.
thanks for the suggestion. I'll look them up at stores then look to see if any of the tool/equipment rental places have the puller thing. I only need to do a handful of them.
@apierc1 I was just about to say the same thing. Tap the anchor into the wall so the teeth dig in before expanding it with the screw. You don't want the thing to turn when you are expanding it. They should make a wrench that holds the anchor from spinning while you expand it.
If only I had watched this video and if only the guy at B&Q had told me about these specific wall anchors I could have saved myself hours of hassle. I tried this using spring toggles to hang a sagging coat rack. Problem is the distance between the brick wall and the plaster board was only around 2.5cm so the spring toggle could not push through and open up. I ended up drilling into the brick wall so it could clear enough space to open up and even then it created a whole lot of challenges.
Ok thanks for your help, We ended up drilling 14mm for toggle bolt only to realise that behind the plaster was a joist, the hole became too big to fit a wall plug in, so we had to no choice but to use a anchor bolt because that was only thing to fit 14mm hole. We got there in the end lol, Also if you ever come across rusty toilet bolts on cistern an floor would be grateful for a video on how to remove them without break thing the old toilet,
This video might help if you need to find out how thick your plasterboard is - czcams.com/video/EP4ynwgg4fo/video.html&t
Thank God you made this video. I was literally minutes away from ripping the wall out. 2024 and this video is so useful, thank you!

Would be even better if he used a proper PZ2 screwdriver instead of a undersized flat blade :-s
The only video that shows an actual cleat example being mounted with these anchors! Thank you
