I loved this series. It was very informative and helpful. I was able to quickly and efficiently put up shelves in three closets. Good work, Dominic!

How Drywall Anchors Work from the Inside Out

Hey, it’s Dominic with Expert Village. Now you guys are looking from the inside of the wall at what this thing looks because a lot of times we want to know how does this thing really work. Well now that you’re on the other side of the wall you could see just how this thing actually grabs on to the wall and it’s able to hold 90 lbs. So I got installed I insert the screw and I push the screw in and you see how that thing falls down and I start to screw. I drill the screw in and as I do that and I’m going at a slow pace right now so that you guys can visually see it. The arm catches in and it starts to pull it towards the dry wall and here it’s snug fit and that is exactly how these toggle anchors work. They work like magic when I first saw them I was confused but now that you guys know how and what they look like anyone could do this now and I think anyone is ready and I think you are ready to go and just start putting shelves up around the house everywhere just because… because I said so. Thanks for you time guys and have a great day.
