What You\u2019ll Need<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Drill
\u2705 Drill Bit (or Set)
\u2705 Putty Knife
\u2705 Utility Gloves
\u2705 Old Towel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before You Begin<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
It is important to gather all your items and supplies before you start. The gloves will protect your hands from scratches or blisters, while the towel can be laid on the floor below to manage any drywall mess. It is also important to choose the correct drill bit size for the best results. If you do not have a full set of drill bits, simply purchase one that is a couple sizes larger than the opening in the wall anchor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep in mind that if you plan to paint the wall you are working on, you will first need to prime the patched areas where the wall anchor holes were. And if you are planning to install new drywall anchors, be sure to buy ones that can be easily removed for future convenience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step One<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Remove the screw from the wall anchor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step Two<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Place the bit inside the center hole of the wall anchor and\nbegin slowly drilling. Use a drill bit that is two sizes larger than the width\nof the center hole of the anchor. The bit should sit perfectly outside of the\nedge of the hole, without slipping inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step Three<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Once you begin drilling, the collar of the wall anchor\nshould break free from the wall and automatically push itself out. Let it fall\non the floor so you are not tempted to grab it while the drill is rotating. Be\ncareful not to let the bit push deep into the wall cavity, which can interrupt\nelectrical wiring or plumbing pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step Four<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Push the residual drywall material back into the hole using\nyour putty knife. You may have to fill this hole in stages for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step Five<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Sand, prime, and paint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
