    Toggle bolts are OK, but can not be reused. When you take the bolt out, the toggle nut drops down inside the wall and can not be retrieved without ripping the wall apart. The Molly style anchor is much better for a hollow wall.

    And if you want to hide the hole, it is easier to plaster over a Molly anchor as opposed to the large hole left by the toggle bolt.
