If you don't have studs in your wall to mount your TV, you can use a heavy-duty drywall anchor. First, find the center of the wall and mark it. Then, using a drill, create a hole at the mark. Next, insert the drywall anchor into the hole. Finally, use a screwdriver to screw the drywall anchor into the wall.
Yes, you can put screws directly into drywall. However, it is not recommended as it can cause the drywall to crack or break. It is better to use wall anchors when possible.
Yes, you can use 1/2-inch drywall for your ceiling, but you will need to use special hangers that are made for that thickness. You will also need to use screws that are long enough to go through the drywall and into the studs.
If you're hanging drywall, you need to use drywall screws. These screws have sharp points that dig into the drywall and hold it in place. You don't need to drill pilot holes for these screws, but you do need to be careful not to over-tighten them.

It's hard for me to believe I'm reviewing screws, but here we are.Because of the following, you must use a 3/4 inch screw specifically:On all boards, in all sizes. 1-inch wood is never truly 1-inch when you purchase it from a hardware shop (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.). A board that is 8x60x1 is actually more like 8x60x.9-ish. Because it was trimmed, it is a little bit smaller or thinner. That part cuts directly into sawdust as a result of sawblade thickness. If you are changing or bracing one of those pieces of furniture, measure the thickness since composite and ready-made furniture can be much thinner (since it saves money).For the following situations, you need this specific screw (or something comparable):-When you want to avoid a shiny metal screw-head becoming an eyesore and you have black braces or brackets.When using painted braces or brackets, a screw works nicely.-Screwing decorative elements into your furniture, such as ornate metal or brass corners-A screw that works well with deeper stains on wood (Less apparent)-A universal screw that can be used everywhere because no one will see it behind or underneath shelves.I myself use these as braces so I can say, "Hey, that looks fairly good!" when I look at my shoddy homemade entertainment center.

New closet brackets were installed, and these screws did an excellent job of the task. In addition to easily screwing through the drywall, they also managed to do so through the studs. The various screws came in in for redoing shelves as well. By no means is the weight being distributed light. My rack of pants, which are hanging on them, is visible in the images. The screws in the wall are still there and have been for more than a week due to the weight. Everything remains attached despite the dangling and moving. No stripping either while they were being fastened into the wall.

Excellent quality and a challenge to strip!At my neighborhood box shop, there weren't many drill bits that long, so I ultimately used a 1/8 bit. Although I didn't split any wood, it was challenging to drive in the last inch or so. To make installation simpler, I'd buy the necessary bit Bosch BL2640 13/64 In. x 6 In. Extra Length Aircraft Black Oxide Drill Bit along with the screws.Additionally, it appears that the screw's head has a somewhat wider diameter than the pockets for screw heads on my hinges.In either case, I'm happy with the outcome and the quality of the product.

Without a doubt, this is a fantastic little kit for the straightforward hanging you need to accomplish on your brick or plaster walls. Although the bits are for drywall, they also function on plaster. They have no effect on brick or concrete; masonry bits are required for those materials.Although the anchors aren't of the greatest quality and some have broken on me as I was inserting them into the wall, once they are in place they seem to have sufficient strength for the majority of applications. Overall, I'm really satisfied with the package.

I intended to install my 42" TV on drywall. I bought these since I was unable to discover a stub in the wall. On the wall, I outlined the holes for the TV mount frame. I used a 1/2 inch drill bit to make my holes in the wall, and then I attached the anchors. It succeeded. I began the hole on the drywall using a smaller drill bit (3/8 inch), and then I finished it with a larger bit (1/2 inch), which increases drilling precision. When I installed them on the wall, I didn't feel the anchor was weak. But if you bend it up or down, they can break easily; avoid doing this when you're installing it. The plastic was designed to break easily during flexion but to hold up well under strain. When I installed it, I pulled quite hard—I mean very hard—but the plastic never shattered. However, as soon as I bent it 70 degrees, it snapped like a cracker. When installation, pull perpendicular to the wall (away from you), being careful not to distort the anchor's plastic. Since I tend to break things, it's quite a feat that I used six and none of them broke. So, don't be scared to pull the plastic end of the wall towards the wall; if I couldn't break it, I'm sure you won't either. That is why I said not to bend it as you are installing it; if you bend it after you put it in the hole, it would break extremely easily. I came saw a review that bemoaned the occasionally poor quality of the anchor's thread. I didn't have any issues like that. If you are concerned about it, screw the anchor down and check the thread. Additionally, if you want to be extra cautious, start drilling your screw very slowly until you feel the screw spinning freely in the anchor's hole. I heartily endorse this item.

Excellent drywall screw buy, much better deal than big-box shop alternatives. Additionally, whereas these screws are collated, those screws are singular, allowing for repeated screwing without the need to seek for additional screws. have no trouble supporting drywall that is 1/2" or 3/4". Additionally, coarser screws lessen hole stripping.

Here, you get exactly what you pay for—a excellent selection of wood screws in a tidy box. However, don't expect brass or stainless steel grade; these are more like "zinc" or "white metal" quality. If you ask them to do too much, they'll fail. The shipper is excellent, and I would order from them once more. Use these screws in situations that aren't particularly demanding and keep in mind that "there's no free lunch."

Was seeking a reputable brand name, not a cheap imitation that falls apart. Despite being plastic, the anchor did not require any drilling before pushing into the walls. The screw was extremely powerful, and the anchor or plug was tightly installed. I couldn't have wished for a better product. I used it to hang a 30 lb painting on wood straight onto drywall (no beams).
No, you don't need to predrill drywall. The screws will bite into the paper and hold the drywall in place just fine.
If you're working on a drywall project by yourself, you might be wondering which part of the room you should start with. Most people start with the walls because they're easier to reach and it's less likely that you'll mess up the ceiling.
When installing drywall, the screws should be driven into the studs at a depth that is approximately one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch from the surface of the drywall. This will ensure that the screws are securely fastened, while also leaving enough room for the drywall compound to properly adhere to the surface of the screw.
To attach drywall screws, you will need a screw gun and screws. First, hold the drywall in place and drill pilot holes. Next, insert the screws into the holes and tighten them until the head is flush with the drywall. Finally, cover the screw heads with joint compound and sand smooth.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, such as the thickness of the wall, the type of screw being used, and the size of the stud. However, as a general rule of thumb, a screw should be at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) long in order to hit a stud.
There are a lot of screws that go into a 4x8 sheet of drywall. It really depends on how you are attaching the drywall to the studs. If you are using 1/2" drywall, then you will need at least 16 screws per sheet.
