How To Easily Hang Things Using Wall Anchors 

you're very welcome

Nope just hammer it. No reason not to.

​@@kwizmon There are a multitude of reasons why not to but I will give the 2 most reasonable and easy to digest reasons why period if there has been any plaster work Done or if you are drilling into plaster which could be a thin or thick layer overtop of drywall , And it happens to be old or brittle in any way you are likely to cause cracks or potentially more damage than minor cracks which would still then need to be filled. Second there's no reason not to use something less aggressive even something as simple as a few layers of cardboard. That being said if you need to hit the anchor into the wall with so much force that it were to require a hammer or something of that nature instead pull the anchor back out and simply take the drill bit and instead of moving one size app to the next size bit take the drilling and move the bit upwards down left and right widening the opening by a very small amount and then Pop the anchor back in it should not take the force of a hammer to seat a drywall anchor. I usually use the bottom handle portion of a hammer to seat an anchor by simply pushing it in with the bottom rubberized section of my handle on the hammer grip. Keep in mind once again if it requires you to hammer it in without much force or use something as heavy duty as a hammer in the first place you are already putting so much force on the drywall itself that once you then add the pressure of a screw which is even going to add more pressure to the hole you are likely to cause The anchor 2 Support more weight as you have essentially delete damaged the anchor point by putting too much pressure on it before even hanging an item on whatever you are using the anchor for.. I know I used far too many words there but if you do a construction you will understand what I'm talking about, Then again if you do construction you likely are not watching a video on how to seat an anchor in drywall in the first place I'm simply looking for some videos to show apprentices and making a playlist for them but can't seem to find any that are actually proper... >

@@Curtis.CarpenterI appreciate your knowledge. I am afraid of doing costly damage like that over something simple that I attempted to do. I am 30 and am admitting that I am not experienced with stuff like this at all. I have owned a house on my own for three years now and am trying to learn how to fix things even as simple as this.

I’m not gonna listen to a woman 👩 what is the last thing women ever built?

you're welcome ;)

same here.

Omggg that’s so funny because I’m literally looking up all these types of videos because I’m currently trying to hang up kitty wall furniture too 😹

Try to find a stud for at least one of the brackets. Use a toggle bolt on the other end. It will be stronger than an anchor.

If you got chonker cats you’ll probably want a stud or use toggle bolt anchors instead

Have your shelves fallen off yet? This video is terrible advice and is wrong from start to finish.

drill bits are pretty much standard size. What kind of drill to you have?

Round shank just means the drill bit is round (the part of the bit that sticks in the drill is called the shank). Some drill bits are hexagonal, because they have hexagonal bases (shanks).

thank you!

U can hand screw things into a wall?

@@Paliibabe 😂 good one. I meant handheld screwdriver

@@YenCrew oh lol I honestly didn’t know I’m trying to screw this broom holder in my wall and was trying to understand how 😭

yes, you are correct, if a stud is there just nail or screw it right in, no anchors needed.

@@thedailydiy Thank you!!

yes, unfortunately most don't come with bits

You can use a magnet as the magnet will find the nail/screws on your wall holding the drywall to the wood stud. Or just drill where you want to hang your item, you'll be able to tell if the drill bit finds a stud or not, if not then use an anchor

haha, you're welcome
