Great info, a little info about what I tried yesterday as a experiment:
I hung 3 clothes rod brackets (they will support a shelf on the top of them) from the back wall of a closet using a metal version of the big thread screw in drywall anchor, I did not use a 1x board under it. Since the load on the clothes rod will apply a pulling (axial) load to the anchor I am concerned that they might pull out. I do think the 1x and adhesive would help. The toggle seems a bit more positive. Does a stud finder work on metal studs?
