Box Contains 30 x heavy-duty plasterboard fixings;1 x depth gauge Review: Good for light to medium fixings on stud walls - Used these to fix wooden batons to stud walls to support a shelf. Did the job well and seem to provide a solid fixing for the screw along with glue to fix the batons to the wall. This was for a cupboard shelf so is supported on 3 sides. Solid enough for this and light loads which run down the wall (eg pictures/mirrors). They do require a large (size 10) drill to create the hole for the plugs. Review: Easy to use and holds items - Great product just what I need but check the drill bit size before drilling holes ## Features - Use for shelving units - Wooden Battens - Wall lights, small mirrors etc. - Use a 10mm Drill - Use a No.8 (4.5mm) Screw included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0053485VY | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,665 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 20 in Anchors 24 in Plugs (DIY & Tools) | | Brand | PLASPLUGS | | Brand Name | PLASPLUGS | | Colour | Multi-coloured | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,480 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05010047125531 | | Included Components | HD PLASTERBOARD FIX X30 SHCF553 | | Item Type Name | HD PLASTERBOARD FIX X30 SHCF553 | | Item Weight | 18 Grams | | Item weight | 18 Grams | | Manufacturer | Plasplug | | Manufacturer Part Number | PLASHCF553 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | PLASHCF553 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 745654265442 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Plastic - **Brand:** PLASPLUGS - **Colour:** Multi-coloured - **Item weight:** 18 Grams - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 1 Years ## Images ![Plasplug SHCF553 Heavy-Duty Hollow Wall Fixing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wnKcFqfZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this be okay for hanging a floating shelf on a plasterboard wall?** A: They would struggle hold the screw you were using to hold the shelf up! Don't waste your money. Spring toggles or anchors much better bet! **Q: How many pieces do you actually get? Main picture says 30, however description days 10.** A: I am as sure as I can be, I received 30. It is long time since I bought them and I have used them all. **Q: Are these only for plasterboard or can they be used in concrete and brick too?** A: I tried them in plasterboard and found them to be useless. For concrete or brick I would use rawl plugs or rawl bolts. Not these. **Q: how long are these plugs?** A: Can't tell you the length as I binned mine as they were useless. They are marked as being heavy duty, no way. Check the reviews, including mine, before going for these. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for light to medium fixings on stud walls *by F***E on 5 July 2026* Used these to fix wooden batons to stud walls to support a shelf.
