Used these to fix TV to a dab and dot plasterboard wall with brick wall behind. Easy to use and very functional. I know not cheap but you get the quality and the comfort of item staying on the wall

Pretty good fixings but make a practice fixing first. I found if you are fixing into light/medium blocks then the recommended drill size of 10mm is too big and the screws don't bite into the plug enough to expand it in the hole sufficiently (the screw threads tore out when tightening with just two fingers on the screwdriver). This is because the actual screws are relatively thin in diameter /thread depth (which is necessary in order to fit through the steel collar).I recommend using a 9mm drill bit for the full depth (100mm), then open out to 10mm for the front (approx 50mm) portion. Also drill without hammer action if you have light blocks (hammer action tends to make the drill bit walk a little and you get a larger hole). (I didn't have a 9mm masonry bit so I drilled 7mm using proper masonry bit with hammer action, then just used a old 9mm hss steel bit without hammer action - this will cut through like butter).Then knock the red plugs home using a long screw (don't hammer the end of the plug or it will fold over).Using this technique gave a really strong fixing. I used 6 of these to mount a 49" TV on an articulated bracket that pulls out and rotates. I also used 8 of these fixings to mount a 75" TV (flush to the wall though; it's too heavy for an articulated bracket).Overl, spend 5 minutes perfecting your installation technique and you won't be disappointed. I've bought a load more of these for my toolbox (wish I'd just bought a large box rather them buying 4 or 6 at a time).

Perfect for securely mounting a sink on a dot and dab plasterboard wall.

Perfect for plasterboard dot dab or studded over a solid wall , clear instructions, very strong fix best I’ve used

Superb for mounting heavy items, used them for a large TV and they were awesome. Thanks

We were undertaking a minor project in our modern home, wanting to rack our Gin collection on a nice chunky Wooden shelf. When the material arrived for the shelf, alongside the brackets and bottles I realised there was going to be approximately 20kg per shelf and this would test plasterboard fittings, regardless of type.After a brief search online and having trusted Fischer products for several years now I opted for these. They are by no means cheap but they are absolutely rock solid, designed specifically with dot dab arrangements in mind and offer security as well as safety. They sink in as per a regular wall plug after which you tap home the metal sleeve, reinforcing/bridging the void between plasterboard and wall, whilst strengthening the board itself. This means the load is transferred to the wall behind rather than the board or screw and can be tightened until your heart is content without fear of damaging the fitting or wall.Yes they are pricy for just four but they’re unparalleled and I would have no hesitation buying more for this application.

Definitely use a 9mm drill, especially if the base structure is concrete / breeze block. Only time will tell....
