Abandon the idea of the expanding tubes. Somebody in the dim past
manufactured 100 million of the damn things and sold them to hardware
manufacturers. These manufacturers, in turn, dispense them with every
product they sell in an effort to diminish the pile sufficiently so the
balance can be taken to the dump. These plastic screw holders don't hold
worth squat and will die of shame in the middle of the night causing your
dog to go nuts, your wife to scream, and you to have heart palpitations!

Go to the hardware store and buy some 2" screws of the appropriate diameter.
Done.


Heybub and I are in agreement on something!BG

While you're at the hardware store get a box of these

Get the metal ones- 2" #8 screws. When you need to hang something,
use the 2" screw. If it hits a stud, you're good. If it doesn't,
then remove the screw and use the anchor. These puppies *hold*.
