Tier 2 Hardware: What You Need When Tier 1 Fails
Episode 4327
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
You've got wood screws and wall plugs. But what happens when you need to hang a 50-inch TV on hollow drywall or fix a wobbly flat-pack dresser? This episode covers Tier 2 hardware — the specific fasteners for specific failure modes. Herman breaks down cavity anchors (molly bolts, snap toggles, self-drilling anchors), blind rivets for sheet metal, threaded inserts for furniture repairs, and the vibration-fighting hardware you didn't know you needed. Sizes, quantities, where to spend vs. save, and what's rental-friendly. No more three trips per project.
