Expensive, but they work well! Installing a telescoping TV mount? Read this.
These worked about as good as I hoped. It made really good sense to me that the "wings" that open on the back side are flat and wide, giving it more surface area to grip compared to the old style drywall anchors that tend to pinch into the wall and cause a point of failure by getting the crack started - and, most people tighten them too much!As an experienced do-it-yourself guy, the MOST IMPORTANT thing to say is that the drywall anchor is only as strong as your DRYWALL!!! And, you can not defy the laws of physics (leverage) with a better drywall anchor. So here is some common sense info for you . . .Hanging something on drywall with a downward force is not the same as PULLING the drywall, by way of leverage. If you are looking to hang a TV flat on your wall, this WILL WORK. But I noticed a couple other reviewers tried to use this to mount a "telescoping" tv mount, you know, the ones were you can pull the tv 2 feet away and tilt it or turn it in any direction. Please understand that when fully extended, the weight of your tv is applying TREMENDOUS leverage which is essentially applying a pulling force on the upper mounting screws. That type of TV mount needs to be mounted into a beam - at least ONE screw needs to hit a beam, and then these anchors can work fine to augment the strength. The other reviewers who complained about this product not working. . . Look closely in their photos, and you can see that it is the WALL that failed, not the anchors. These anchors work great, but they can not help you break the laws of physics and common sense. So if you can't find at least one beam to screw into, simply don't install one of those telescoping mounts, or, avoid pulling it out all of the way.I found the installation quite simple and easy, the included drill bit is of course the right size, and the mounts screw in quite easily. Note that you do NOT need to over-tighten the wings, just a simple quarter turn is all you need in order to open the wings in the back. Also, do not over-tighten the screw that goes in the middle, because that's how you damage the drywall is by over-tightening.The only negative to using this product is that it certainly will leave a 25mm/1" hole behind to patch if you ever want to undo this.While I feel that these are extremely over priced at $12 for just 4 mounts, considering the TV is worth $2,000, it isn't worth trying to save a few bucks and honestly these are the best drywall anchors I have found for this purpose.

Great Low Profile Anchors
I used these to hang something that was where there wasn’t much space between the drywall and concrete block. These were low profile enough and held up securely!

You need to drill BIG holes
The product seems to be very well designed, and I can see that they probably will work well is supporting heavy objects. You just need to be willing to drill big holes in your drywall. I didn’t realize how big until the arrived. I haven’t decided whether to go buy drill bits the size needed and drill the big holes, or just return go to the hammer in metal ones. I thought those were big, but now it’s all relative and they don’t look so bad anymore.

Worked great for about two days
Easy to install. It is rated for 130lbs allegedly. I would assume that includes what a drywall can support. That is not the case. I hung about 60lbs of gear on these two drywall anchors and two wood screws directly into a stud. We heard a loud crashing as the drywall anchors failed and ripped through the drywall.

Easy to use and works great
Received these today and literally in five minutes I solved a loose anchor issue I have been battling for over a week. These are absolutely amazing 👍. A+

Good but could be better.
I ordered these to hang this heavy mirror and I will start by saying these work really well to hold the weight. however, there are a few things you should consider.1. The first time I drilled a hole I didn’t use my stud finder and of course the first hole I drilled was right next to a stud which blocked the wings from opening. My fault obviously, but don’t make the same mistake I made and have an extra hole in the wall.2. I ordered the yellow ones and after you place them in the hole you’re meant to use a flat head screw driver to turn it and open the wings. However, the little bits that latch onto the screwdriver are made of plastic and the first time I tried to turn it they all snapped off making it completely useless. The second time around I used a much smaller flat head and I was delicate with it and I got it to work but the plastic bits still broke meaning in the future if I want to remove it it’s going to be impossible to do so.So all I would say is I think if you opt to use these do so with the understanding that you want whatever you’re hanging to be there for some time and also that if you do ever want to remove them it’s going to be a huge pain and require a patch job.The maker of this product could fix this by making the bit you screw metalInstead of plastic. That way they could be inserted and removed without issue. I suspect doing so would cost them more money but the product would be better for it.

The perfect drywall anchoring alternative when there is little to no space behind the wall
I had to install some wall sconces in a bedroom with a pocket door to the bathroom behind the wall to be mounted on. This meant little space between the pocket door and the inside of the wall itself. These GripIt anchors did the job quickly, easily, and soundly. I wish I had them for a previous job where I had to mount some items on a wall with a cement pillar immediately behind it. These would have been the perfect solution. I keep them in stock now, and if you're a handyman, you should too.

Good Product
I used this mounting kit to put up my 50-inch TV, and it worked great. The installation was straightforward, and the TV feels very secure on the wall with a strong grip. It did the job perfectly.

Super strong
These are great for hanging TVs etc onto plasterboard walls. I have used them in every room and no issues.

Very good
Was a bit dubious at first. Needed to refit a curtain rail in plasterboard which had damaged the original holes. Worked excellently, strong and easy to fit and a heavy curtain now sits strongly on the bracket. Highly recommend

Provide great hold
I must confess that I managed to get one side of my bracket aligned top and bottom on a stud, but the remaining placement of it is taken up by these fixings.A doddle to use, and so easy to work with. Supplied drill bit just removes any hassle.When drilling through the plasterboard, ensure you clear the back of the hole as much as possible. This will give the wings on this product the best chance it can to grip.This product gave me the confidence to hang my new LG C4 oled on a plasterboard wall that has a door attached to it. With 2 hormonal teens, I’m pretty sure it’ll withstand any amount of door slamming they can throw at it.
