Toggler Wall Anchor via Cool Tools

These are really nice... though the big problem I have with the site is that it doesn't tell you how much it can hold (weight-wise).



I was doing a ridiculous amount of closet work recently (well, ridiculous for me, who's general number of activities per day/week/month can be measured on your dick), and my biggest problem was a steel plate that was behind a piece of drywall at the back of the closet. I needed to mount the rail on which you hung the rest of the closet but, unlike the other walls in the closet, beyond the 5/8" thick drywall was 5/8" of space and then this 1/4" steel plate. all the other wall anchors I looked at required too much depth so I went on a three week long journey to find something that would work. I ended up coming up with this:



This worked out perfectly, and it turns out the problem was, as is almost always the case, that I did not accurately estimate the requirements up front. Each of these hold 50 lbs, I had 7 in the wall, that's 350 lbs. That's ridiculously more than I required... I should have just done that math sooner and saved myself the weeks of searching. Anyhow, it's up and hanging, but I'm a little surprised that The Closet Factory, or whoever that was from whom I purchased the stuff, hasn't seen this problem before.
