That YouTube tip about drywall anchors was completely backwards for my wall
Some guy named Mike on a DIY channel said toggle bolts are useless and to just use plastic anchors with a hammer. Around here in Phoenix the plaster is rock hard and my 8 pound mirror bracket pulled clean out in two days. I swapped to those 50 pound metal zip anchors from the hardware store, took me maybe 15 minutes to redo both spots, and it's been solid for a month now. Anyone else have luck with one type of anchor over another on old plaster?

Did you ever notice how the internet always has that one guy who's dead sure about something that turns out wrong? Same thing happens with car repairs, cooking hacks, all of it. Some dude with a camera talks like he's an expert and half the comments just repeat whatever he said. Real life has a way of schooling you fast though, like your mirror bracket tapping out after two days. Your wall told you the truth and Mike didn't, lol.
