Question 1

Can this be used with Plaster walls?

Accepted Answer

Definitely, although you'd need to do it carefully. You want to avoid splitting the lathe boards behind the plaster, so a nice sharp bit is a good idea. Then insert the Toggler, and make sure the metal "nut" part of it is vertical - that gives it a better chance of catching a couple of different lathe boards. If the lathe splits and you put the metal but horizontally, it could be much weaker. Plaster is not nearly as strong for this sort of thing as drywall would be, so getting a good grip on the lathe is critical. You'll also need a longer fastener than you would with drywall.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

BA indicates 3/16",  BB indicates 1/4"

Question 3

I received these and tried to use them but they break off behind the wall where the plastic attaches to the anchor. Anyone know why?

Accepted Answer

You push the toggle in the hole, open it up, pull it back tight and then slide the plastic sleeve down until it is tight against the sheetrock on the outside and then carefully snap the excess strips that are sticking out on the outside and then you get your bolt and screw into it.  We have put in hundreds of these that hold up hundreds of pounds and never had one break off.  Hope this helps.  Make sure you are drilling the size of hole they recommend to slip the toggle through.  If the hole is too small, it binds the plastic in the sheetrock.

HILTI just buy from them and put them in a red HILTI box (and increase the price of course); you can read on top of the HILTI box "TOGGLER(r) = Worldwide Registered Trade Mark of Mechanical Plastics Corp"
