fischer DuoPower 5 x 25 S PH, powerful universal plug with panhead screw, intelligent 2-component technology for fastenings in concrete, bricks, stone, gypsum plasterboard, etc., 50 plugs & 50 screws

I recently moved into a house with plasterboard walls and needed some dedicated plasterboard fixings to hang pictures, hooks, mirrors etc. Having surveyed to market and all the different types and designs I selected these as I have used Fischer fixings before and found them excellent. The fixings are well made and easy to use when fitted with the recommended size drill. They come with very nice quality screws to use with the fixings and provide a very firm fixing to plasterboard walls. A minor criticism of the product is that because the fixing expands and anchors in the hidden plasterboard cavity, when turning the screw it can be quite hard to know when to stop tightening. So far all uses of the product have resulted in a good firm fixing, but it’s possibly something to be aware of when tightening the screw. A slight concern in the future is how to remove the fixings for redecoration or if I need to move fixings. The screw can by undone and removed, but the fixing itself will remain in the plasterboard. I suspect I will either need to fill over the fixing to make good, but this might be slightly proud or drill them out and then fill. Price wise on a per fixing basis these are quite expensive but the quality, ease of use, and included screw justifies the cost in my mind. Overall, I think the functionality and ease of use of these fixings is great. They provide a very good engineered solution to a problem, resulting in a good firm fixing which grips the plasterboard walls extremely well. I have felt very confident using them even when hanging very heavy items.

Great quality plugs and screws—easy to use and hold firmly in a range of materials including plasterboard and brick. The two-component design works really well, giving a secure fit every time. Excellent value for a 50-pack set!

Good Plugs to use in stud walls. Grips well and does the job. Easy to install with drill guide on plug

Got these on offer, handy to have these around.

I’ve bought and used loads of Fischer Duopower, they are great. I have had no issue with them and they do a great job. Just make sure you follow the instructions!! They need a hole drilled longer than the length of the plug. They need a screw/bolt/etc longer than the length of the plug too. When the screw goes beyond the end of the plug it scrunches up the plug. This is due to the different materials used in the plug too- the grey and red parts. Once tightened like this they grip really well. Make sure there is no loose debris in the hole before putting the plug in. The plugs show the drill bit size required - written on the red on one side. Plus the size of the screw is on the red too. Great product. Works really well Photos show lots of different types and how much I like them.

Great screws. I’m a fairly humble occasional home DIY-er. Just put up the odd shelf or fix bits and bobs around the house. Decided to clear out the random selection of mismatched screws I had in my little toolbox and get something more professional. Looked at reviews and these came up as consistently good. Based on my experience, those reviews are right. Does the job and more.

Really great. Really sturdy, does exactly what you’d expect from a rawl plug, really good in plasterboard and is great value for money. They look good, really stable once in place and the fit is perfect. Functionality is exactly as expected. I bought this with the Fischer drill bit which was the exact size needed for these plugs and it’s spot on - when used with the correct size screw these plugs are great. I used mine for a 5kg bathroom mirror and so far they are doing a great job.

Does what it should
