I bought some of these for a job requiring a big radiator on plasterboard!
I did some tests on a sheet of plasterboard secured to a timber frame in the garden! Nothing scientific etc... I compared grip it fixings to my regular Fischer expander that is used with the expander gun type ones!
If I'm honest, the grip it fixings seemed to offer less load bearing than a regular Fischer fixing which only claims about 20-30 kg... 180kg on this grip it i would consider nonsense, they then say safe load of 90 kg or similar...
As per the installation, there fiddily & the little wings on the grip it fixing dont bite into the board like a Fischer fixing... They just sit in the plasterboard... Also alot more expensive...

amazing how many blokes knock a hole through plaster board for toggles and other cavity fixing not realising the back of the hole will be a crater and leave little strength in the board
