Howdy, everyone! I'm Joshua and I'm going to talk to you about how to remove those toggle bolts from the walls. Toggle bolts are one of the best inventions because they allow you to put stuff anywhere you want on drywall, plaster or even your paneling. But when it comes getting them out - they're impossible to get out. You can't save the bolt on the backside and you end up losing it. So here we have a toggle bolt that is in the wall. As you can see you can't get it out. A toggle bolt is designed to after goes into the wall expand grab as much surface area is possible that why you can hang a lot of wait on a very small area. To get it out you're going to need a drill or a screwdriver with a phillips bit. What we're going to do is we're going to grab onto our screw. start pulling a little bit and slowly start removing that screw. What happens is the toggle bolt on the inside of the wall ends up falling down and ends up hitting the base plate on the inside of the wall. Or staying in your insulation. It's not going to hurt anything there all that happens is your going to loose the back of your toggle bolt so you are going to have to buy a new one if you are wanting to put it someplace else.
