Toggle bolts
(OP)
Does anyone have any information on the capacity of toggle bolts (i.e. the ones with spring loaded wings at the end)?

I am using it to tie back a sign to a stone facade, it will be much stronger than dry-wall.

Over time the small pivots will rust off and they will pull right out. You need to use some sort of a structural anchor that will fix to the actual building structure.

I didnt want to use them, and this is exactly the type of reason that I wanted.
I didnt think of that but it makes sense about the pivots.

check out www.powers.com. They have a mechanical anchors section that may help out a little.
