These Are The BEST DRYWALL ANCHORS EVER! (Homeowners + DIYers Should Keep These Wall Anchors Around)

I don't use drywall anchors often. As I've said on the channel, I feel that they sometimes give people a false sense of confidence that what they're mounting to a wall is truly secure.

BUT, sheetrock anchors can be very handy for small, lightweight wall-mounting. And when I need to use them, I always reach immediately for SELF-DRILLING DRYWALL ANCHORS.

Self-drilling sheetrock anchors come in plastic and metal. I prefer the plastic anchors.

They're screw-shaped, with a sharp point on one end, and a phillips slot on the head. To install self-drilling anchors, you simply press them to your drywall surface and turn them with a SCREWDRIVER, or DRILL, or DRIVER.

The point acts like a cutter head, boring through the drywall paper. When it punches through, the anchor sinks to the threads. As you turn it into the drywall surface, the threads bore their way in, cutting their own channels.

Drive until the drywall anchor is flush, then stop!

Be sure to use the supplied screws. These have the right gauge and thread count for the sheetrock/drywall anchor in question.

That's how you use self-drilling drywall anchors!
