Reply to comment by UbiquitousYetUnknown in Can a single stud hold a 13kg TV by YoMADAv2

As long as you have 2 screws into that stud a few inches apart- 100% yes

No. One screw, that actually screws into a stud, will hold quite a bit.

Probably way more than 100kg if the force is as close and downwards as that a TV will create.

A ¼" lag bolt well attached to a wood stud will probably hold like 70kg easy, maybe more

yeah but if you get just one screw in, you're relying on friction to keep it level rather than the combined sheer strength of the screws in addition to the friction.
