Hi please could some one explain the difference between an M6 spring toggle and an M6 snap toggle
I understand that the snap toggle stays in the wall without the bolt
But is there any difference to the amount of weight they will hold
EG a TV on the wall and are they worth the extra

Thank you

    Spring toggles usually need a slightly bigger hole to be drilled and normally do not carry as much weight. They are also more awkward to use as you need to put the screw through the item to be fixed before pushing the spring toggle through the wall.


    Out of the two if it was for a heavy weight application I would use a decent snap toggle.
