Review on 🔩 Togglersnap Zinc Plated Channel Fastener by Joshua Castillo

These are extremely strong and most versatile wall anchors I've found. They work in 3/8" thick drywall, but can also work up to 3 5/8" deep. It also requires a slightly smaller hole than standard screws. In my house, the walls are plastered with different thicknesses. In some places plasterboard was used with a metal lath and plaster on top, making the walls very thick, uneven and brittle. Standard nylon drywall anchors will not work. The wall breaks too much. The pivot bolts can be so long that they can go through the drywall that the bolt itself will not fit in the wall cavity. Of course, with standard roller pins, the first time you remove the pin, you lose the drum. With latches, you drill a hole, insert a toggle switch, tighten it, and then insert a screw, so if you insert a toggle switch with a standard switch, it's not an issue of the length of the screw if you have to insert a screw. I recommend you buy 1/4" fender washers to use on materials that may not have a clean hole when drilled. I have already accepted one disadvantage, some of the toggle switches break during installation, that's not a problem. In my 20 pack I broke 7. That's partly because of my stupidity. The nylon zipper on this anchor does not add strength to this anchor. All the power is in the metal switch and bolt. You don't have to pull this nylon zipper very tight. Since I found out about it, I haven't broken much anymore. However, you can break some. An example of the pros and cons of this product was when I was trying to fix my toilet seat recently. Flange bolts on one side would not hold. When I went to replace the CE bolt I found that the bolt hole in the flange had widened over time so the flange bolts would never hold. I figured I would have to take the toilet out and either replace or repair the flange, then clean the old wax ring, install a new one and rewire the toilet. Instead, I used Snaptoggle. The first one broke I think because the flange wasn't flat at the bottom, resulting in an awkward angle to screw in the bolt. The second carbine worked like a charm. I was done in five minutes (okay, maybe fifteen). Now my toilet doesn't wobble anymore and I don't have to waste time, money and hassle with the flange, wax ring, pulling and toilet. I'm willing to spend $2 or $3 on Snaptoggles to do this.
