Review on πŸ”¨ Toggler Drywall Fasteners: Efficient & Durable Polypropylene Solution for Residential Use by Onsommoshit Mathews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Have used them for years

As an electrician who has been installing commercial telephone, networking, and audio/video equipment for decades, I have tried many wall anchors. For small loads, a standard plastic anchor is unbeatable; but if you need to install something heavier, togglers always work. When installing multiple toggle switches, I first use a cordless drill to make a small hole, but I still use a 5/16" flathead screwdriver to punch an "X" through the wall to then create a square hole Hit the folded gag with a hammer. I do this to create a tighter fit compared to using a 5/16" drill bit. Please remember to use the tool provided to spread the wings against the back of the drywall. If you lose or break the tool, simply use a trimming nail inserted head first to widen the wings (simply tap the pointed end with a hammer). The toggler usually requires a larger hole than the previous anchor grip area. If you're trying to use a 5/8" to 3/4" toggle switch in 3/8" to 1/2" drywall, then the toggle switch won't get you out the wall, but it will never pull objects flush with the surface. Wall. Aside from that one caveat, togglers are one of the best inexpensive anchors.

Pros
