These are good and it's a great deal but if you're hanging something heavy on plasterboard, this type's better:

Drill a small 2 or 3mm pilot hole and then screw these in by hand with a flat head screwdriver. None will snap. I have bundles installed without snapping with this method. Better than just brute forcing it in from the get go.

Hope this helps someone. Try both ways and you will see how much easier it is.

8 May 17 #8
Please bear with me. New to all this. I put a screw in a plastic plug in a plasterboard wall for a blind cord safety device and it just came out a few weeks later . Would these fixings keep it in place? Thanks x
rickj to ScampiLamp
8 May 17 1 #12
Yes if not too heavy ,you have probably used the wrong plug .If you use one for a solid wall on plasterboard it will come out pretty quickly.
If its a heavy blind use a metal plasterboard anchor these open up inside of the board like a butterfly and grip very tight ,hope that helps
LPS6 to ScampiLamp
8 May 17 1 #15
Simple answer is yes
steevieboy4u to ScampiLamp

Remove the plastic wall plug and replace with one of these then screw in the screw inside this.... Then you've got 99 spare ones :wink:
Or you can get 10 of the Tommy Walsh plastic ones for £1 at the pounds shops which will do the same job and then you'll only have 9 spare :smiley:
barginfan to ScampiLamp
8 May 17 #58
It will work, but it is overkill to use one of these just to retain the cord.
I'd replace the plastic plug myself.

These are ok for light weight stuff but for anything with weight ive been using grip in fixings and would highly recommend them.
b1g1an to flang
8 May 17 1 #14
These will hold a lot of weight if the wall is up to it, four will happily hold a kitchen wall cupboard and the serious weight that usually gets put inside them.

A tip for those with dot and dab walls or stud walls, if you want to put one in where a dab of stuff is, screw it in as far as the end of the self drilling bit, pull it out and then you can easily snap the whole end off with a pair of pliers up to the start of the main thread and then screw it in without depth issues.

Agreed - I've used rigifix fixings for hanging articulated TV brackets and they have been solid - I just wouldn't have wanted to risk a whole load of glassware, the cupboard (and the wall!) on a fixing such as this.

These are great for lighter load items however!

Those look the business. I used some frame fixings from toolstation for mine into thermalite block ....

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Screws+%26+Fixings/d90/Frame+Fixings/sd1950/Phillips+Window+Frame+Anchor/p22691

Then wall anchors with the setting tool for lighter jobs. I don't particularly like the ones posted in this deal as they tend to work loose and then mess up your plasterboard.

One word - overpriced.

They are good without a shadow of a doubt but they are £5+ for the smallest size and you get 8 fittings!

100 for £4 is not beatable.
FocusST
8 May 17 1 #22
Rigifix for dot and dab into brick, and hollow wall anchors are much better for stud walls/plasterboard. I live in a timber framed house now and all the walls are stud walls so I spend a fortune on hollow wall anchors from SF!! :smile:

Buy the proper setting tools as well.

These screw in fixings from the OP are OK for hanging pictures or similar but nothing heavy.

These are going out of stock fast. Between the two stores in my town there was only one in stock so I grabbed it quick. Good deal.
tek-monkey
8 May 17 #25
Never had much luck with these, I tend to use hollow wall anchors instead. Obviously depends what is behind the plasterboard as you usually need a bit more depth to get them in, but I'm yet to see one move and I've put up rails in shops with them.

8 May 17 1 #27
Looks like a good deal but I'm not a fan of these for Plasterboard.
I would recommend Hollow Wall Anchors, they're a little more expensive but very secure.
I normally buy size: M4x38mm

8 May 17 #35
Yeah, thats what I use. Got a pack with the setting tool from Lidl years ago, just keep replacing what I use but that size are my main ones for light work. My main issue is working out the depth of the walls, as every one seems to use a different thickness board?

Voted hot but when it comes to plasterboard, don't forget those very useful studs hiding behind your wall, which can take considerably more load. Investing in neodymium Earth magnets is also money well spent for quickly finding where to place your fixings.

I have 4 of these holding up a 12kg mirror and they do the job excellently. They work very well for fairly heavy items. I definitely wouldn't use them for kitchen cupboards though.

Good for quick fixing reasonably heavy items, or things likely to deal with some handling (toilet roll holders, etc), but these are better for heavy items:

Can anyone explain to me why plasterboard is in vogue? Seems like a job creation scheme for builders with no benefit to home owners! Crappy stuff....
presterjohn71 to jazzuk777
8 May 17 #46
In vogue? That is pretty much all builders have used in modern homes for decades. That is not going to change anytime soon either. It's used for several reasons mainly for speed. The faster you can chuck up a house the cheaper it is to build. Add to that the convenience and again speed of cable and pipe laying then it is a slam dunk. Cap that off with insulation spaces and such like and the old way of building and solid walls for every wall is never going to come back.

8 May 17 #44
Would these work into plastic cladding? with nothing further behind the cladding, TIA
presterjohn71
8 May 17 #45
Good value for money but they are most definitely would only use them for light to medium weight items. It's more a question of torque than load bearing though so I would not consider using them for a kitchen cupboard as they stick out to far from the wall especially when the doors are open.
fraser87
8 May 17 #49
it's hard to find decent screw in plasterboard fixings. I've used lots and find most snap unless you make a small hole first. The best I've came across are mungo, I never had one that's snapped.

This video may help someone looking to see what fixings are appropriate for what weight. Basically the heavier you go the better and more expensive fixing is recommended:

Always buy the same brand or keep a new box separate. The screw from one brand will not usually fit another.

8 May 17 #64
These are great for a one and done, but they're not the best if you need to unscrew the item. The fixing can just bore a hole through the plasterboard so if it's screwed in tightly and you unscrew the fixing can come with it and you've just got a bloody huge hole to fill.

Perfect for big one off things though and a steal at that price!

For the sake to posterity, you get 100 fixings and 100 screws in the box (or 101 fixings if you're particularly jammy). I've used these things to put up shelves carrying 30kg+ weight. If the plasterboard is decent quality you won't have any issues. The board is more likely to fail than these things.

I also highly recommend getting the Hollow Anchor setting tool, would be a nightmare without! :smile:

Standard Plasterboard thickness is either 9.5mm or 12.5mm. Kitchen Plasterboards might be doubled up so it's strong enough to hold kitchen cabinets.
