My tool pegboard setup failed when a heavy vise fell off.

The anchors pulled out of the drywall. Any tips for securing heavy gear to walls?

A vise pulling anchors from drywall sounds like a setup problem from the start. Tbh, drywall isn't made for that kind of weight. It's like expecting a shelf to hold a car engine. You gotta hit a stud or use proper wall mounts for heavy stuff. I've messed up similar projects before by not planning ahead. Really, it's not the end of the world, just a lesson learned.

Exactly! People skip planning in everything, not just DIY.

Wait, you tried to put a vise on drywall? That thing must weigh a ton!
