  The best wall anchor review I've seen.
• rootusrootus 5y ago
  That's an excellent video, and an excellent channel overall, I love his stuff. One thing that is left out of the video (and maybe isn't as useful as I think it is, I guess) is how much damage the anchors do when nothing goes wrong. Assuming you use them for a while, then need to remove them and patch up the result, what are you in for? Some of them come out clean with a small hole, some are going to leave parts in the wall forever, and I imagine mollies might actually do a fair amount of damage to get them out.

    Drywall anchors that cannot be easily removed, you should push through the drywall, not try to remove them. As a homeowner, it’s also worth learning basic drywall repair skills. You can buy 2’ x 2’ pieces of drywall and remove and replace a section between studs pretty easily. Learning to tape and mud properly so that it doesn’t show after painting is the hardest part and takes some practice.
