Forgefix Metal Cavity Anchor Setting Tool | Painted Red/Black | Per 1

If you plan to attach anything of significant size to plasterboard then you will need to use effective fittings. Metal wall anchors are the strongest, and easiest to use - but only if you have a tool like this. This one is sturdy and very easy to use. It comes with no instructions but quite easy to work out. Pull the trigger on the tool to ensure it is fully released, unscrew the anchor bolt a little an fit it into the end of the tool, push the bolt (using the tool) into your pre-drilled hole until fully through the wall, now pull the tool's trigger several times until tight (it is on a ratchet) and then press the trigger to release it - DONE. This really makes the job very easy.

This product is amazeballs, I can't recomend it more.I don't like normal "self tapping" plasterboard rawlplug because in the past I've always accidentally screwed it a bit out of place.When you're putting in more than one plug for an item (say a shelf), and one goes adrift, it's a real pain to fix.Not with this puppy! You drill a hole exactly where you want your screw and pop the expanding rawlplugs in (sold seperately) and just pull the trigger a few times.I kept pulling the trigger until I could hear it biting into the plaster lightly - take note not to put your hand over the pin at the base of the gun whilst you pull. Push the release trigger and you're done. Would buy again but the device is so simple I can't see how it could evver break, unless you leave it compreessed for a long time in a box (wearing out the spring).

I haven’t used anchor gun before, will always use in future. I have previously had mixed results anchoring fixings with screwdrivers. This gave solid fixings instantly. Hung a 6 foot vertical mirror on plaster wall and it feels sound. Go to you tube check out the how to videos, buy if right for your job, drill correct size holes, insert anchor, use gun to fix anchor, job done.

Used a molly gun before to install tv's and large full motion brackets onto plaster board walls. Used this one to put up a mirrored bathroom cabinet, it worked great and feels good quality. When using it you drill a hole for an umbrella/plasterboard fixing these are made for. Remove the screw, hammer into the hole (should be snug enough you need a hammer) re insert screw but leave enough gap to slot Uo pening 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 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).

The media could not be loaded. This tool is the find of the year for me it makes hanging shelves on plasterboard walls a doddle.I've used it with M5 wall anchors and hung shelves and a big tv bracket with it.It is well made and I can see it lasting a very long time.I highly recommend buying this

What a brilliant tool to have in your DIY arsenal! I was looking for some inspiration to fix a large and heavy mirror onto a partition wall. I didn't even know this gun existed and bought it on a whim. I am glad I did. With this gun, all I had to do was drill a pilot hole, and load the gun. It uses a spring release to clamp the attaching metal self drilling screw into the hardboard. Far better than using a hammer, like I have done in the past. If I'd known this existed, I'd have bought one years ago! Well worth £10 I paid including delivery. The mirror in my photo is approximately 9kg and measures 90cm X 60cm so it gives an idea how strong the grip is when the gun is used. 5* to the seller for a prompt delivery too!

I was warned to not buy cheap for a tool of this price and stump up for a set around the £50 mark instead. I'm happy to say I'm glad I didn't listen. This gun seems well made and works absolutely fine. If it ever fails me I will come back here and update this, but I can't see that happening anytime soon.If you are new to cavity wall anchor fixings I would recommend sacrificing one of your fittings and using the gun on it, outside of the wall, or even better on a spare piece of drywall where you can see both sides. This will make the fitting unusable but gives you a really good idea of what is going on behind the drywall when you use it for real.If you found this review helpful, please hit the 'Helpful' button to let me know that writing these reviews is worthwhile.

I searched so much to find one of these heavy duty plasterboard setting tool as most are poor thin Chinese disposable ones but so glad I found this (seems UK made) and used it with ease and it is exactly what I wanted
