Buying the right drywall anchor can be challenging with so many options and weight ratings. Anchors tested include EZ Ancor Dyrwall and Stud Anchor, Toggler High Performance Anchors, Toggler SnapSkru, Everbuilt Hollow Wall Anchor, Blue Hawk Toggle Bolts, E-Z Ancor Drywall Toggle Anchor, Toggler Snaptoggle BA. I'm not sponsored by any of these brands. I purchased all the drywall anchors and supplies for this video using my own funds. Thank you for recommending this video and please consider leaving a comment or video idea!

We tested what Weight Plasterboard could take as Tensile, shear and Cantilever loads at University Labs. So for its size, it is the strongest Plasterboard fixing on the market.

    • Big plastic screws for your general purpose non critical if fails type stuff. Snap toggles for stuff that is critical if it fails, use a screw driver not the impact when running the screw into the anchor initially, after that you can use the impact. If both of those are not acceptable, cut the wall open and block behind it. It is ok to add anchors if you think they are needed.

  • I just want to note that most drywall repair men will push anchors into the wall and leave them there. Pushing them through and patching that hole causes less damage than pulling them out, especially for toggles (obviously). Since it's hard to tell what kind of anchor is used, it's safer to just push all of them through.

Still it's better than the first version that's just plastic & fails to penetrate 1950's composite drywall, even if the metal it's made from is just potmetal.

I spent time in an industrial laboratory performing "destructive" testing like this and your process pretty much mirrors what we used in the lab. Extra kudos on the final choice. Last time I bought anchors I looked at everything on display and bought the design you rated as the best balance between performance and cost.

  • Good to see a decent strength test on these anchors, since you can't always take the ratings on them for granted. Some exaggerate their strength, some underrate them. That said, It would have been nice to see a comparison of the damage they leave behind if they DON'T fail. Failure damage is rarely, if ever, a factor I think about when choosing an anchor, as if chosen and used properly they shouldn't fail. However, the damage they leave behind when you no longer need them, is a factor. Personally, I rarely use anything other than triple-grip plugs, which are like a better version of the expanding plug, or the zip toggles for high strength. The zip toggles also have the advantage of staying in place if you remove the bolt, meaning you can remove and reinstall the object if needed, quite easily.

  • An observation I made is that in the case of some of the toggle, for instance, the snap toggle, the orientation of the bar with respect to the load seems to have a lot to do with how it performs in the vertical weight pull. Of course, another observation is that the most weight each anchor is rated for, the more damage done to the drywall when it fails. I'm impressed with the approach and the amount of effort you put into your tests. Very valuable information!

  • I recently put up some track shelving in my home and remembered you did this comparison. It was essential in helping me choose the right anchor. You have THE BEST product comparisons. You spend your money and days of your time so we don't have to. Thank you!
