FAQs
What is the maximum weight these toggles can hold?
The maximum load capacity depends on the specific wall material, its condition, and the screw used. Consult the product packaging or manufacturer's guidelines for specific load ratings if available. For critical applications, always test the fixing.
Can I use these toggles in brick or concrete walls?
No, these nylon wing toggles are specifically designed for hollow walls such as plasterboard and drywall with thicknesses between 4mm and 12mm. They are not suitable for solid materials like brick or concrete.
What size screw should I use with these toggles?
The ideal screw size will have a thread pitch compatible with the internal threading of the toggle. Typically, a pan-head or similar screw is used. Refer to any accompanying documentation for specific screw size recommendations.
How do I remove a wing toggle if needed?
To remove, unscrew the screw completely. You may need to gently pry the toggle's body to disengage the wings, then pull it out. In some cases, the toggle may need to be pushed through the hole if it cannot be withdrawn.
Are the steel components rust-resistant?
While made with steel, they are not explicitly advertised as stainless steel. It is recommended to store and use them in dry conditions to prevent potential corrosion over time.
What is the benefit of the gold finish?
The gold finish is primarily for aesthetic purposes and aids in quick identification of the product type on a job site.
Troubleshooting
Toggle does not grip securely
Ensure the hole drilled is the correct size for the toggle and that the wall material is suitable (plasterboard/drywall within the specified thickness). Check that the toggle wings have deployed correctly.
Screw does not tighten properly
Verify that the screw is the correct size and type for the toggle's internal thread. Ensure the toggle is fully inserted and the wings are engaged.
Toggle breaks during insertion
Use a drill bit that creates a hole of the recommended diameter. Do not force the toggle; ensure it slides in smoothly. If the wall material is too hard or brittle, this toggle may not be suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
