T. K. Excellent Heavy Duty Zinc Plated Steel Molly Bolt Hollow Drive Plasterboard Fixings Screws for Drywall,Multiple Sizes Assortment Kit, 68 Pieces

Used a molly gun and umbrella fixing before to install tv's and large full motion brackets onto plaster board walls. Used these ones to put up a mirrored bathroom cabinet, they worked great and it's nice and sturdy now.Firstly, when working with plasterboard, don't use and other type of fixing. The disc ones with 2 fans you open out or poor quality, the tiny flat head screws become worn quickly, they don't fully open out because you can't ensure the inside plaster is flat, and you must drill a, large obtrusive hole to use. Plus their weight load won't be as strong.Don't use the generic cone shaped plaster board fixings for more than a picture frame, they're useless.Some use rawl plugs, they'll also come out.When using them you drill a hole the right size for the umbrella/plasterboard fixing. Remove the screw, hammer into the hole (should be snug enough you need a hammer) re insert screw but leave enough gap to slot U opening at end of molly gun between wall and screw head. Make sure molly gun is fully closed/reset so both the outer U opening and inner U that'll move with the trigger are flat together. When ready fully pull trigger once, then again, after 2 strong pulls (if the screw was close to the wall) the 3rd should be very tight. Don't over tighten at this point because you can pull the screw out of it's threading. The screw only threads into it's umbrella fixing a little at the very end (but holds fast to good weights).

I have used a lot of this type of fitting in the past and found them to be the quickest and most reliable way to attach things to hollow walls. To use them effectively you need a cavity wall anchor fixing gun which is relatively expensive compared to the cost of the fixings. You can sometimes get away with tapping the fixing into the wall and using the screw to compress the fixing but this is a bit of a hit or miss method and you can end up making the fixing unusable and a big hole in your wall. I would recommend buying the tool. It makes the job a lot easier and this type of fitting is very sturdy so I think that you will find that it is your preferred method for attaching things to hollow walls. This means that the tool will pay for itself over time.

These are brilliant!Having used various other fixings for plasterboard with varying amounts of success, I thought I'd give these a go.Having read various other reviews it became apparent that you needed the right tool to grip and pull the fixing so that it clamped itself properly.Again, having read other reviews, some tools were better than others so I chose this tool: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009HN8U2Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dX-tFbWVHWACDThe outside of the case details what weight each size of fixing can take and what drill bit size to use. It goes without saying that you shouldn't use a masonry bit for these fixings - I opted for a metal drill bit, which worked perfectly. After drilling the hole push the fixture in firmly (you should be able to use your thumb). Then take your setting tool and, whilst pushing the fixture tight to the wall, pull the trigger until you start to hear the fixture squeezing the plasterboard (you'll also notice it sinking into the surface). You can now release the setting tool, take the screw out and then fix whatever you want to fix (using the same screw you have just removed).They feel solid, with no sign of flexing, twisting or wobble.Really simple and easy.Definitely something I'll use from now on.Well chuffed!!Edit January 2021:The smaller fixings AREN'T very good, however - they have a slightly different design to the larger fixings, and don't fix into the wall very well. It's a shame because the product really deserves 5 stars. I would still recommend buying the product as a whole just don't waste your time with the smaller fixings.

Having tried the various drywall fasteners over the years, everything from EasyFix hollow wall, to GripIt and Fischer these are the most study and easiest to use, once you of course have the "gun" needed to install them.No movement, hold the rated weight and very easy to use (drill hole as recommended, install fastener, use "gun" to secure fastener, remove bolt and hang object).Wish just invested in these far sooner.

Used to hang heavy curtains on a plasterboard wall. Previous raw plugs had been pulled out from the weight. 6 of these into a total of 3 fittings and the pole is rock solid. These curtains get used so are being opened and closed every day. I didn’t have the special tool needed to pull them open so I just drilled a hole ever so slightly smaller than the bracket. Hammered the bracket into it, then screwed the screw down until it tightened against the wall (it’s difficult to start, then it’s easy to screw, then it tightens again as the bracket closed against the wall. I then simply unscrewed and added the fitting and screwed it back up and it worked perfectly. I bought the set as these will always come in handy for other jobs around the house.

Some worked fine but others failed when used and cased issues. However, we’re great to hang a Samsung Frame 65” on a cavity wall and so far, have done the job well

Excellent plasterboard fixings - good choice of sizes - have already used some with success.Would recommend this pack for any DIYer

Good for plasterboard walls. I hate plasterboard with a passion, but these do help take away the difficulty in getting a good fixing. So easy to use, and with the tool makes it almost…i did say almost a pleasure to put fixings on plasterboard walls.
