Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In typical installations this would go much smoother. The instructions were very easy to follow, and also pretty funny. My house is a 120yr old farm house, so nothing ever goes as planned. Something as small and uneventful as this even throws a curveball at ya. I attempted to drill my hole with the hole saw and hit wood lathe behind the drywall. Didn’t quite expect the lathe. The hole saw was not deep enough or sharp enough to get through it all the way. I busted through it with my hulk like strength. As I turned to move on to the next step, I cracked my head open on the arm for the wall mount for my tv. Maybe, do this step before mounting your tv, maybe wear a hard hat, maybe don’t be unaware of your surroundings. Ima stupid girl. Went to drill the second hole and I was ready for the lathe this time... blood dripping down my face I go to drill hole #2... the flipping hole saw broke. The drill bit broke off right where it went into my drill. I must have angled it some. F-it, I’m on the home stretch! I mashed that SOB bit into my drill and powered through. Now it’s time we put the little winged chingada’s through the wall. Since my drywall is hiding it’s dirty little lathe secret. I have to spring the winged braces behind the lathe. I was able to unthread the wings a bit and got them to fit just behind the lathe before tightening it all up. If the screw would have been even another fraction of a millimeter shorter or the wall a smidge thicker it wouldn’t have worked. I buttoned it all up and realized even though measuring multiple times, my HDMI cable was now 3” too short. A quick order to prime now for a 6’ cable and life was good! So, this was a fun little project for myself. I am a pretty handy lady who works in the mechanical piping trades. Nothing was too complicated for your run of the mill handy person. One recommendation would be to use a longer screw or a machine screw to connect the anchor wings to the wall sleeve. This would allow for varying thicknesses of walls. I’d also recommend that you maybe keep another hole saw or arbor on standby. I really enjoyed this project and the results are just as expected.
