M5 x 52mm Heavy Duty Metal PLASTERBOARD Cavity Wall FIXINGS Anchors Plugs (20)

These are really good quality plasterboard anchors and will hold a surprising amount of weight. One thing I will say is to be very careful how much pressure you use when fixing them to the plasterboard with the gun. Take it easy, go slow and don't just grab a handful of gun as they will blow the plasterboard out really quickly leaving you with a hole in the wall. I have hung a kitchen extractor fan using 3 of these using slightly larger washers and it is safe and secure.

Excellent quality and value for the money, no issues experienced delivery was spot on would recommend no problem

Great value at a third of the price B&Q charge, but with cheapness comes concerns.... These need a setting tool; 1 in 4 that I tried to 'open the fan' by screwing the screw home, twisted and buckled. Leaving me with a major issue of trying to get it out and fixing the now irregular hole in the plaster board. Once I coughed up for a setting tool they have been faultless in operation. Also; check that none of the 'petals ' are bent in towards the screw (see unit on left of the photo). These are obviously packed in bulk and some petals get bent inwards during transit, and they stop the petals from opening correctly. It's easy to bend them back outwards with a small screwdriver.

Excellent product for easily and reassuringly attaching heavy items to plasterboard walls, very robust and recommended versus other plasterboard attachment mechanisms/products.

Certainly worked for me in a studded wall no problems holding up my kitchen units very good product would recommend

I love those anchors for mounting stuffs on Plaster Board wall. You need the fixing gun to use them. First one or two was hard as I was learning the trick. Now I can close my eyes and install them. They are much easier and economical than many other ones I came across. Bought 2 packs initially and ordered 2 more again. Super happy. Only draw back is they come in a bag, luckily I had a box from another set of wall anchors so I store them there.

These things do exactly what they are supposed to. Anyone who says they come loose doesn't know how to use them. You have to screw in the bolt until it feels tight, then give it another turn, which takes some force. That's when the back starts to pull in. Then, depending on the thickness of the plasterboard, you have to keep screwing it in until it gets really tight - on my internal walls, that's about another 80 turns. Then they are as solid as a rock. As for the pins being loose, they are only meant to hold the fixing in place until you put something on top of them, then their job is done. Depending on the depth of the thing you are fixing to the wall, you might need longer bolts.

Good product.
