Anchors for wall

What about the really small drywall anchors that are metal and pull back into a "+" when you tighten them.

These are the ones I use - 1"long.

I've used pop rivets to mount anything new in our class A. Both interior and exterior walls. They are very easy to use and hold tight.

3M Command Strips

They will hold considerable weight and are removable with no damage. We use them for coat hoots beside the door and those will hold heavy jackets.

Don't rule out the removable stick-on pieces that are for pictures. They work very well, and depending upon the size, can hold quite a bit of weight. This eliminates holes in the wall and possible puncture of electrical and/or water lines. We use them for almost anything we put on a wall.

Recently I added two more fire extinguishers, one under the sink and the other in the rear closet. With both, I used the stick-ons on each holder, with a small strip of velcro running down the side of the extinguisher near the bottom to keep it from moving during travel. Works great and is removable if needed.

I'd probably just use the plastic ones. If you are down at the big box hardware store you might ask one of the people in the section with wood paneling if they have better anchors for paneling tho.
