How to Use 50-Pound Drywall Anchors

Hey, it’s Dominic with expertvillage.com and here I am again with another section of an episode or it’s called an episode or it’s a section of an episode……So we talked about in the last segment we talked about the little white anchors that we’re going to install stuff with, these hold about 30 lbs. Well depending on the what we’re going to put on the shelves usually you have some idea and if you’re going to install clothing or if you’re doing it in a pantry or you’re going to use to put a printer on there those hold up 30 lbs. each anchor. So let’s say we’re going to install something a little bit heavier, we want to move up a little bit and take it up a notch with a metal dry wall anchor like this looks just like this but it’s metal. Now these ones hold about 30 lbs. and these guys hold about 50-60 lbs. each one. So what that means to you is that when this screw is in to the dry wall and it’s sitting flush like this when you put this screw into it like this and the screw is in there you can literally take a string wrap it around there and hang and this little guy will hold about 50-60 lb. weight by itself. Now then if you want to hang weights around your house great, great art décor thing, but just letting you know this is it. So when I’m installing these shelves depending on what we’re going to put into there I’m going to determine which one I’m going to use and I’m going to show you guys that in the next segment. Actually in the next segment I’m going to talk about a little bit of a heavier anchor little bit stronger than these guys stay tuned.
