I was given a sample here on the old forum by the manufacturer to test and I just didn't like them. For really heavy rads, I prefer M8 and M10 toggle bolts. Ok you lose the cavity toggle if you undo them, but it's rare that I have to remove the brackets from a new radiator from a wall, so this is rarely an issue. Other wise I use good old reliable brolly fixings and a setting tool.

Yes me too, the inventor is now a multi millionaire and was on Dragons Den and everything and fair play to him but I have to say I hate them, absolutely pointless. Umberella fixings for me.

I've got that orange version at the bottom. It's fine as long as it gets a wee drop of oil to lube it every now and then or it sticks.

I am not sure how they rate them as blue is supposed to be 113Kg which I assume is per fixing but again we are talking sheer loadings.

Yes my mistake, it is for each fixing so that is quite impressive. When I have used them they've been ok but you need a 10mm slotted screwdriver or you will chew up the mechanism.

You can get some toggle fixings from screwfix, they support 50kg each fixing on a downward pull. They are a little more expensive than most but they’re really good. https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/timco-spring-toggles-6-x-40mm-10-pack/4787x
