300 metal speed plugs with matching 4.5x35mm pozi flange screws in a handy tub. The cutting tip pierces plasterboard cleanly without pre-drilling, and each plug sits flush once home. A solid grab-and-go kit for drylining and first fix.
The plasterboard metal speedplug fixing tub gives you 300 metal speed plugs and 300 matching screws, all in one storage tub that earns its place in the van. Each plug has a specially designed cutting tip that bites straight through plasterboard without needing a pilot hole, which saves time when you are hanging brackets, battens, or fittings on a hollow wall. The countersunk design means the plug sits flush with the board surface once driven home, so there is nothing proud to deal with before finishing.
Metal speed plugs hold significantly better than plastic toggle alternatives in most plasterboard applications. The metal body resists pull-out forces more reliably, which matters when you are fixing anything that will carry weight over time, such as shelving brackets, curtain tracks, radiator brackets, or mirror fixings. These are not the plugs you reach for when you are hanging a picture frame and hoping for the best.
What Is Included in the Plasterboard Metal Speedplug Fixing Tub
Each tub contains 300 metal speed plugs paired with 300 x 4.5x35mm zinc-finished pozi flange head screws. The flange head spreads the load across the plug collar, keeping the fixing tight against the board face. The zinc finish gives the screws a degree of corrosion resistance, which matters in rooms with higher humidity. If you prefer to use a different screw specification for a particular job, the plugs will accept alternative screws, giving you some flexibility on site.
The tub format keeps everything in order rather than scattered across the bottom of a toolbag. Three hundred fixings is a realistic working quantity for a fit-out job or a busy week across multiple sites, and the price per fixing at this volume makes it a sensible stock item rather than a one-job purchase.
Pro Tip: When driving the plug, use a pozi bit at a steady speed rather than full throttle, letting the cutting tip do the work rather than forcing the plug in at an angle.
Metal speed plugs are used wherever you need a reliable fixing into plasterboard on a stud or dot-and-dab wall. Common applications include hanging curtain tracks, fixing shelf brackets, mounting radiator brackets, securing mirror fixings, attaching picture rails, and fitting light fittings or switch back-boxes to hollow walls. They are used regularly by drylining contractors, first-fix carpenters, general builders, and maintenance teams working across residential and commercial interiors.

No pre-drilling is needed. Position the plug tip on the board surface at your mark, then drive it in using a pozi bit on a drill or screwdriver. Once the plug is flush, insert the 4.5x35mm screw through your fitting and into the plug until the flange head sits firm against the surface.
Mark the fixing position on the plasterboard surface
Place the metal speed plug tip against the mark, holding it perpendicular to the board
Drive the plug into the plasterboard using a pozi bit at a controlled speed until the collar sits flush
Align your fitting over the plug
Insert the 4.5x35mm pozi flange screw through the fitting and into the plug
Drive the screw until the flange head is tight against the fitting face
Do I need to drill a hole before fitting the metal speed plug?
No. The cutting tip on the metal speed plug is designed to pierce plasterboard directly without a pilot hole. Just position it on your mark and drive it in with a pozi bit.
Can I use different screws with these plugs, or do they only work with the ones included?
The plugs will accept alternative screws if needed. The included 4.5x35mm zinc pozi flange head screws are matched to the plug size, but if you have a different screw specification that suits your job, you can use that instead.
The plugs are manufactured from metal with a machined cutting tip for direct penetration into standard plasterboard. The countersunk collar ensures a flush seating against the board face. Supplied screws are 4.5x35mm pozi flange head with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Plug and screw design conforms to standard plasterboard fixing practice for hollow wall applications.
