THE ONLY DRYWALL ANCHOR YOU SHOULD EVER USEI know. Mallory 1St Visit there. Its a big, scary looking thing but once I explain it, itll be about as scary as a chocolate covered cotton ball. Which is actually incredibly scary. Youd think it was a nice round chocolate you were biting into but inside would be horrid squinchy cotton. Like running fingernails down a chalkboard but for your teeth.

So, weve all been there Im sure hung a nice full sized cow on our wall only to have it fall down in the middle of the night, scaring the farts right out of the cat. It happens.  But it doesnt have to. For some reason people are under the impression that hanging things on the wall is frightening. I think its the whole things falling off of the wall scenario weve all lived through. But thats only because youre using the wrong drywall anchors. Ive used them too. Ill admit it.  Those plastic coloured anchors that you hammer into the drywall. You keep screwing and screwing your screw into it and it just keeps spinning and spinning because it isnt actually grabbing onto anything. But you hang something off of it anyways even if it doesnt seem like its going to work because you paid for it and installed it and cant think of any other way to do it. Then your cow falls down. Its because those plastic anchors arent really meant for drywall. Theyre usually meant for solid walls like concrete. They canin certain circumstances be used for drywall but youre taking your chances. Enter the hollow wall anchor. In this case the classic Molly Bolt. THESE are the only drywall sheetrock anchors you should use. They are the best. How do I know theyre the bestJust ask Bessie. These are my favourite anchors. Yes there are others like screw in anchors and toggle bolts and a bunch of other things, but these are my favourites so thats why Im talking about them and telling you to use them too. When you buy a box of Hollow Wall Anchors there are 3 things you need to look for on the box What to look for in Hollow Wall Anchors. Make sure what youre buying is indeed a Hollow Wall Anchor for drywall. Make sure theyre the right size for your drywall. This box is good for drywall that is 38ths to 58ths thickness. Hollow Wall Anchors that are for very thin materials like hollow doorsNote the size of the drill bit that they recommend you use and make sure you own one Also best to make sure you own a drill. Mark the place on your wall where you want to hang something. Using the right sized drill bit, drill your hole. DONT go wiggling all over the place with your drill. Hold it stead and drill straight in and pull straight out. If you wiggle youll actually drill a larger hole. Take the Hollow Wall Anchor out of the package and hammer it straight into the wall. You dont have to adjust it or fiddle with it or anything. Just whack it in there. If you look back up at the first picture I showed you youll see that theres tiny teeth under the flat edge of the anchor. These will grip into the outside of the drywall so make sure you hammer it in good. Now you get your screwdriver and start screwing the screw in. I know it looks like its already in and it is but what youre doing at this moment is creating Hollow Wall Anchor magic. As you screw the screw in, a sort of flange is being pushed out at the back of the drywall. The more you turn the screw the tighter and tighter the flange gets. Just keep turning until you can feel some good resistance. It may take a while and you might get bored. Once youve screwed it in to the point that you feel the resistance of the flange Im not really sure thats the right word to be using against the back of the drywall you can start unscrewing the screw. Again.  Totally boring. I recommend doing it by hand though and not with a drill because you dont have enough control over the drill and if you screw your Hollow Wall Anchor in too tightly you could end up squishing your drywall and ruining it. Just do it by hand. Super exercise for your wrist anyway which will come in handy the next time you slap someone. If youre only hanging a mirror or picture then you can just pull the screw out enough to get your wire picture hanger over it. If youre attaching something to the wall like a bar or TV mount you might have to remove the screw entirely and then, yes, screw it back in again. And dont worry.  Undoing the screw doesnt do anything to the flange. It stays rock solid. That babys in your wall for good now. Seriously.  To remove it you have to just hammer it into the wall and cover it up with drywall compound. Yes. I know.  Thats scared you even more. You will now never hang anything on the wall again. You say that now, but one day youll be driving around the countryside, hit a cow by accident and then what How do you think youre going to hang it I hope you paid attention to all of this because tomorrow Im going to show you something youre going to need this little Hollow Wall Technique for a DIY Im posting about on Wednesday.
