Ok

Great product. They work fantastic on dot n dab walls in new build properties.

They work as expected but maybe better. Value for money. I would recommend them

Cheville de très bonne facture. Excellente tenue dans le placo et la brique. Que du bonheur

Got a spare bit of plasterboard to do some tests with a few different styles of metal anchors and plastic plugs and as far as the plastic plugs went, these ones were by far the sturdiest. There are however a few important things to take into consideration when using these duo power plugs and probably the most important is the choice of screw. Initial tests in the plasterboard were were not going very well until I noticed that by using different types of screws I was achieving different results and so after a while I finally settled on using a pan head 4.2ml X 38ml which tightened up to the attached bracket securely every time. Using normal wood screws with cone shaped part under the screwhead was no good but the pan head which is totally flat, really tightened up snugly to the bracket and as a result the bracket was absolutely solid with no movement at all. Another thing to consider is the screw width. Fischer recommend using a screw of between 4 and 5mm but in my tests I found that a 5mm screw was just a tad thick and occasionally it resulted in the plug spinning in the hole so for that reason I would stick with a screw of between 4 and 4.5mm thickness. Next area for consideration is the screw length. These plugs are 30mm long and to get that nifty system of the plug bunching up behind the plasterboard you must use a screw that is no less than say 35mm long which will be long enough to pierce through the back of the plug which in turn, will then draw back the plug down the screw and bunch up against the back of the board. Even though you might think the screw can’t go any further, keep on turning until you feel the screw really tighten up to the bracket and then you’ll know the clever little plug has done it’s job behind the board. Remember to take into account the thicknesses of the bracket before choosing your screw length - for instance, if it’s a thick bracket of say 5mmm then you’ll have to step up your screw length to at least 38mm to allow it to penetrate the plug. Conclusion: Using the right type and size of screw was crucial in my tests with this duo power plug and by using what I consider to be the ideal ones to use, these little plugs were very impressive compared to the other plastic ones I tested. For ultra heavy items to be hung on plasterboard I would still resort to the metal anchor type but for most instances, these duo power plugs are sound.

All of the reviews said that these were the best... They were all right. Great product, speedy delivery !

These work well in hard wall or plasterboard. Read the chart on the Fischer web site for guidance on hole and screw sizing. If the screw point penetrates the end of the plug, turning the screw more will compress the plug to make a tight fit. This works well for plasterboard, creating a bunched up plug that stops the plug from pulling out.

Good strong quality product
