I work for a bathroom remodel company, we install 100’s of towel bars, rings, and paper holders…don’t use those type of anchors on anything that is pulled on because it will loosen up. Use a toggle anchor ✌️
I think for holding items on drywall those anchors are perfect. But for something that is going to be handled like that it will come loose again eventually and really needs a noggin behind it
Working in residential homes, how do you deal with accidentally leaving dirty hand/finger prints on the wall? Something I deal with installing residential a/c’s a lot.
Wash your hands, use gloves and carry a spray bottle solution of water with some dawn in it and some microfiber towels. And clean up after yourself, never leave a clients home worse then when you came into it. Maintain or enhance their property... 🧑🔧🧼🧽
Goof off wipes 100%. They work awesome for just about anything. Just don't scrub the walls to hard because it will take the paint off if your too rough.
Tub-o-towels seems to work well on most of the things I've cleaned with it. The fast orange wipes were just ok i guess. Little bottle of soapy water? Maybe an old clorox bottle with some soapy water solution and leave paper towels in it for 'quicky wipes'.
@@wackypeace1135 Well that's just false. It removes a small amount of material, but that's the reason they use such large coarse threads. It bites into the material, not grind it away. So it in effect is compressing the material and keeping it tightly packed. If it grinded it away, then let me be the first to tell you, I'd have seen one of these things fail already and every single one I've used are still holding up. So I posit once again, if someone is having bad luck with these they are either not using them correctly or are using cheap dollar store versions. Only other possibility is old or otherwise weakened drywall, perhaps drywall too thin (1/4"?) not intended to have anchors like this used. You're trying to convince me they don't work when I've used them successfully for years.
Didn't you make a video discrediting this same anchor for the same rack? I liked the other way you fixed it. With the 250 pound zip tie toggle anchor. Seems more legit than using these zip anchors.
@@JesseandPablo58 big difference between a stationary mounted item and something that gets tugged on daily. I wonder how our towel bars in our old house must be mounted... They haven't budged one millimeter in over 30 years.
Hey Mr Jalapeno, I was recaulking my bathtub but like a dolt I didn't put down any blue tape to protect the tile. So when I ran my finger, the caulk got up the sides of the tile. Any tips to remove the caulk from the bath tile?
Those don't last for such close holes, any decent amount of weight and the little bit of drywall between plugs gives out, the other suggestion of toggles is legit the best solution, the whole wall would have to come down for the towel bar to fall out, either that or when you frame add backing (if possible)
Why didn’t you show the drywall crumble after the first anchor?? Lol 😂 if there’s 2 holes and you try that it will start to bust!!! How’d you avoid that???
