Tap the tip of the anchor through the surface of the wall to get it started. As you screw it in to secure it, the blade at the tip will carve a hole to make room enough for the anchor and the threads of the anchor bite into the sides of the hole to hold the anchor securely to the drywall, as long as you screw straight and don't wander. Drive your screws into the anchors to fasten your rack. Don't exceed the anchor weight rating because the strength of the drywall is limited without additional fortification. | |
