TOGGLERSNAPTOGGLE Heavy-Duty Drywall Toggle Bolt – 3/16"-24 UNC Zinc-Plated Anchor for Hollow Walls, Plaster & Tile – Holds 238 lbs in 1/2" Drywall, Easy Install – 10 Pack (with Bolts)

We moved into a house with a loose towel bar in the bathroom. Within a week, one mount was completely out of the drywall. It had been secured with the screw-in, white, plastic drywall anchors. It left behind half inch holes in the drywall. After seeing many solutions involving cutting drywall, installing plywood support, and patching, I finally stumbled on these. Worth a shot! And in my case, no drilling needed because I already had half inch holes. Sure enough, the toggles popped right through the existing holes. From there it was easy to just zip down the plastic fitting, snap off the excess, and reinstall the towel bar. Glad I found them!

We can't say enough good things about Snaptoggle toggle bolts as they are easy to install and secure. Before purchasing these, I researched quite a few options and needed something easy that would have the strength to hold up. My home was built in 1928 and has plaster walls where finding studs is hit or miss, even with a stud finder. I needed to install a large mid-century floating wall unit and could not rely on the studs being the normal 16" apart. I ended up hitting only one stud and the other 4 wall rails that held the shelves were installed with the Snaptoggle. These worked so well that I ended up purchasing the larger box and have continued to use these to install medicine cabinets, mirrors and shelves. For anyone in an older home with lath and plaster walls, these are for you.

These are a godsend. My apartment (old building from the 1920's) has flimsy metal studs throughout, so I use drywall anchors for everything I hang. The lowest "grade" anchor I use are the zinc-plated ones that look like giant drill bits. Good for a wall mirror, framed art, hanging plants, etc.I had something bigger in mind. Recently I scored a great deal on a vintage wall unit. It's the Scandinavian style, where you attach rails to your wall and then hang shelves, cabinets, tables, and what you off those rails. All the pieces are solid wood, and as you can imagine it adds up to a lot of weight, especially once you start putting stuff on top of it!At first I thought about cutting out a piece of drywall to install a wooden backing plate behind it. In the end I decided to use these toggle anchors straight into the drywall. This particular wall has newly installed 5/8 inch drywall, mind you, which is a bit thicker than some and in good shape. Were it thinner drywall or very old, I may have reconsidered.Installation was very easy, much easier than traditional butterfly toggles. One thing to consider is, like those butterfly toggles, you need some space to work with *behind* the drywall so the toggle anchor head has room to flip around and grab the wall. In my case there was a lot of foam insulation behind the wall, so I had to poke around a bit with a screwdriver to make room.I choose to buy just the toggles and not the screws, choosing instead to order screws separately. This allowed me to pick the color and length of the screws. I choose some Steel Pan Head Machine Screw, Black Oxide Finish, Meets ASME B18.6.3, #2 Phillips Drive, #10-24 Thread Size, 2" Length, Fully Threaded, Import (Pack of 50). They looked much better than the unfinished silver screws that usually come with these.So far I haven't had any problems. I currently have 4 rails supporting 4 heavy cabinets and a bookcase with glass doors. I'm not sure I would want to sit on these or store my lead collection in them, but they work great for holding plants, light stereo components, blankets, books, various other crap you'd like to store.I definitely wouldn't have trusted other toggles for the job, but these have worked great for my purposes. Highly recommend.

It performed its intended function.

Watch the video. This kills the old toggle bolt. Stronger, 10x easier to install

I use a lot of togglers. They are nice for wall hanging accessories like towel holders or light duty shelving. The only reason for not giving a full 5 star review is the screws were not included.

I used it for a coat hook rack and it worked great.

The ONLY thing that worked on the wall of the 1920s San Francisco apartment, and I tried EVERYTHING. The walls seem to be made of papier-mâché with a 6" gap behind it, and this actually allowed me to hang something. Amazing.
