One screw can hold about 50 pounds vertical weight in drywall, or a lot more in wood, concrete, or brick.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re easy to use, simple to back out and re-use, and the holes left behind are *much* easier to cover up than those left by classic drywall anchors. They make hanging things on the wall a simple one-step process; instead of: drill hole, insert drywall anchor, change bit, insert and tighten screw (and possibly start cussing when the drywall anchor decides to twist around instead of seating itself firmly), it\u2019s just: screw in a WallDog&#8230;and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n<p>Just be sure you have your drill set to a slow speed and low torque so you don\u2019t inadvertently ream out the hole completely. They\u2019re more expensive than standard screws, of course, but since they\u2019re easy to reuse I seldom have to buy another box; when I move something I just back the previous Walldogs out, spackle the hole, and use them again in the new position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simplest way to hang pictures on drywall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37655"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37655"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37657,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37655\/revisions\/37657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
