when you say plasterboard is fucked, how so?

I rate snap toggles for ease of install and strength. The big metal bar distributes the load really well. And they don’t rely on the hole being mega accurate like grip its. You do have to use the m8 bolt as your fixing though.

So is there only one stud or have the others just not been located yet?
If you can only find the one, maybe you could try and make the floor your anchor - use a sheet of ply that rests on the floor, screw it to that singular stud and go fastener crazy.

If you can only find one of the studs in the wall, and you want to put a coat rack up. And the plasterboard is fucked.
Is it:
cut piece of wood to the width of the wall. Screw multiple screws into wood into stud. glue the fuck out of the rest to the wall.
Then mount coat hooks to wood?
Or
sell the house
burn the house
get someone else in to do the job properly
