Re: hanging stuff on drywall: I have had good luck with the screw-in anchors ( metal ones work better than plastic). Leaves you with a strong screw hole for a long sheet metal screw. I pre-drill a pilot hole, then twist it in with a Phillips screwdriver manually.

i use the same for drywall. some of the plastic ones are a little more durable. pilot hole first always helps but metal screw in anchors are life.

Same here, the metal ones work a treat with our plaster walls. Everything else designed to get behind the drywall doesn't work w/plaster and lath.
