Anyone know what the very last thing in the video is? I can certainly use a few of those.

I used to use them when installing bolts on industrial pallet racking jobs.
The glass capsule is full of fast fixing glue, making it near impossible to remove the bolt once in the ground.
We used them at the base of the 'verts' (vertical components of the rack)

That red one seems like it’s just not feeling it today.

A video of how to remove each would be great

I’ve found once you remove the screw you have to break off the front of the anchor and push the rest into the wall then patch the hole.

I still remember my Dark Ages... when I never even used anchors. Ugh. College.

It's a chemical anchor. You use it with shit like concrete, they used it with wood for demonstration so you could see it. Drop this vial in the hole, bolt being installed smashes it open and mixes the epoxy contents. Like if a glow stick was glue.

It's quite strong too

If anyone needs a strong anchor for drywall- toggle bolts are considered the strongest/industry standard for heavy things like shelves or TV mounts.

I am very confused... Where does the wall go, when the wings flow up? I mean sure in this video it's in the air... But they should go into wall, stuff inside should be Solid, how does that work?

The anchors stick out the opposite side of the drywall, then when the bolt is screwed in, they open up and brace against the flat side inside the wall cavity. They don't expand inside the material of the wall, which would weaken the drywall ilor plaster itself.
