    but even the anchors need a pilot hole so no need for a stud finder

    Why do you need a 24 ft. towel rack? You'll need more than a couple of plastic anchors for that badboy!:coool:

    use the Zip-it anchors Chipshot showed.But don't use the plastic ones because those tend to break off when installing.They make aluminum ones as well.You may still be able to make these anchors work as long as the hole is not too big.

    Drywall anchors

    Id call in a drywall contractor. My experience is that they can do it much faster and much better than I can and Ive stopped trying. Not the best DIY answer. Sorry.
