I'm thinking about a wall mount swing arm, but I am downright incompetent when it comes to mounting something like that.
Can you just do the whole stud-finder bit to set up a wall mount swing arm? I just successfully used a new stud-finder to mount some bicycle hangers in my garage, so I'm pretty confident the one I have works. But screwing up the garage wall and screwing up my home office wall are two very different things.   |
Drill a small pilot hole if you are concerned. If the drill pulls out wood you should be good. I normally trust stud finders but like to start from different places to zero. A new 40" TV should not weigh much.
These also work well in a pinch. There are different sizes and will tell you the weight they hold.
