  • 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!

Watched your weight test vid too so feel more than confident they will hold, that's a first haha! Great vids, nice one.

  • 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.

I've been trying to screw the screws so that the back part splays, but I get a little bit of resistance and then it goes loose again. They are the right size plugs because some of them work elsewhere in the plasterboard, do you have any tips to make them tighten all the way?

  • 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.

  • 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)

    • 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.

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- kzhead.info/sun/oK1-iZd9a5ifd6M/bejne.html

  • Do you absolutely need to use a setting tool with these mate? Reason I ask is I got some Fischer wall anchors from B&Q and the guidelines on the back mention nothing about it. I'd need to go out and buy the tool if it's absolutely necessary. Cheers.

  • Hi, I just attempted to add an easy anchor to wall for a jewlery cabinet I want to hang. The easy anchor went through the dry wall BUT it appeared to have loosened the dry wall around it. I then put in the screw into the anchor leaving 1/4 out to hang the cabinet on but you can actually pull the anchor right out of wall. Any sugguestions on how to fix this issue? Should I use the anchor you showed? or will I have to make a whole new hole now?

    • 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.

  • 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,
