As someone who has spent a lot of time hanging heavy and expensive things off single skin plasterboard walls, Gripits seem like a total gimmick to me. Expensive and not as good as many other alternatives. Being removable is nice I guess, but they’re fiddly and easy to break in the process.
These would have been my go to.
Nef-
Ooh those are good. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks. I think those would have had the same problem of lack of space behind the plasterboard. Anyway... I really only have a couple of walls in our extension that are plasterboard - the rest of the house has solid concrete walls which come with its own issues.

After my geefix fail, shelves are back up with gripits. Can't say I'm overly impressed. Had to use blue ones as I'd already drilled 25mm holes. Pop in the gripit OK. Opening the wings needs a massively wide screwdriver and the notches are very weak, so very easy to break. Also have to be super accurate with placement as there is no leeway for error with m8 bolts as fixings. Hopefully the wings went out enough to hold everything up anyway.
