About this product
Rawlplug’s Uno Universal Wall Plugs are a versatile and reliable choice for anyone looking to secure screws into walls or ceilings effectively. These universal wallplugs come in three common sizes—6, 7, and 8mm—each providing 48 pieces per size, making them perfect for most household fixing jobs. The unique design of the Uno plugs ensures they expand at the top, creating instant grip and preventing rotation, which makes installing screws a breeze.
These wallplugs are suitable for a wide range of materials, including concrete, masonry, stone, blocks, and plasterboard. Their universal nature means you can use them on walls, ceilings, or floors, whether the material is hollow, porous, or solid. The trusted Rawlplug brand has been the go-to choice for contractors and individuals alike since it was founded as the oldest plugs manufacturer in Britain.
While these wallplugs come in a budget-friendly set, remember that screws are sold separately. This means you need to purchase additional screws if you plan on using them immediately. However, the high quality and effectiveness of Rawlplug’s products make this a worthwhile investment for any DIY project or professional installation.
