If you’re like most people there’s probably a variety of things that tend to frustrate you at times.
I’m talking about relatively minor things that don’t mean a lot in the grand scheme of life, but are annoying nonetheless.
One of my greatest frustrations has always been trying to use drywall anchors to attach pictures and other things to a wall.
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Yep, those little plastic anchors that bend, break or turn into mush when you try to insert them into the hole you just drilled into your drywall or become loose over time, allowing your favorite picture to go crashing into the floor.
I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve ruined an anchor or reamed out the hole drying to install one over the years.
Well, a while back I stumbled across a YouTube video that clued me in to a special type of anchor that works perfectly, virtually every time…
These little gems are self-drilling anchors that, well…drill their own holes into the drywall. That makes for a nice, tight fit without damaging either the anchor itself or the drywall (beyond the hole required to hold the anchor in place of course).
After watching that video I ended up trying several different brands of self-drilling anchors. They all seem to work quite well, but the ones I finally decided were my favorites are these Qualihome anchors.
As you’ll see in the short video below, these anchors are extremely easy to install with just a regular Philips head screwdriver. You won’t need a drill bit because the anchor drills its own hole as you turn it with the screwdriver.
And once these anchors are in place you can count on them to hold a lot more weight than the small plastic anchors that we’ve all been using for years.
Take a look at the video and see what you think. If you think you’ll ever be hanging something on your wall you might want to get yourself a pack of these little gems and tuck them away in your toolbox. They sure do come in handy when you need them.
Pretty cool, right? I love these things and I believe you will too.
