How to Fix a Loose Towel Bar So It NEVER Falls Off Again

What holds a towel bar in place when there isn't a stud behind it? Jeff Thorman's answer comes with a demonstration: after replacing the mounting anchors, he braces a foot against the wall and pulls hard. The bar stays put.

In "How to Fix a Loose Towel Bar So It NEVER Falls Off Again", Jeff first pulls the poorly secured fitting out of the drywall. He then drills holes for plastic toggle anchors, folds them into the wall and uses a setting pin to open them behind it. The metal bracket goes back on before the towel bar gets its decidedly unglamorous strength test.

At roughly 392,000 views, it is the week's most watched new upload and the channel's most active video right now. The replies turn into a useful workshop discussion: some viewers describe adding wood backing before closing up a wall, while others compare toggle anchors with the hardware supplied with bathroom fittings.

That small-job theme runs through all three releases. "I Tested Every Drywall Anchor... These are My Top 3!" covers plastic toggles, standard wall plugs and self-drilling anchors. "The RIGHT Way to Install a Toilet Paper Holder" applies the same attention to another familiar bathroom wobble. The anchor comparison has the next strongest daily viewing, followed by the toilet-paper-holder tutorial.

Across the catalog, Home RenoVision DIY brought in about 5.9 million views this week. Subscribers were unchanged, while daily viewing is slightly above its usual level. Project Farm had a similarly substantial week for views; The Lawn Tools drew a much larger weekly audience. Jeff's own contribution was refreshingly specific: three lessons on keeping everyday hardware attached to the wall.

What viewers say

Im a framer and home owner, i always ask where they are wanting towel bars, towel rings and the tp holder. And always put some backing in for the finish guy.

Grab bar backing is also a given

These toggle bolts have been the best for ordinary installation in my apartment. They're very strong and always stick correctly. Other cheaper anchors usually don't engage correctly or just aren't right size for the screws, especially ones that usually come as hardware with things like curtain rods, hangers etc

You can always learn something new from this man. I didn't want to watch because I though meh, I know this, but I did learn something new.

These are an improvement over the old anchors, but blocking installed before the drywall where the towel bars will be is the way to go.

I like the metal ones that fold out behind the wallboard.
