Plastic wall plug alternatives

Nathan Rose
Hi all, 


Just wondering what people are using instead of the good old fashioned plastic wall plug? I’ve got a run of swa to pull in and am looking for something to meet the new regs. 


Ive seen the dewalt wall dog screws but have seen mixed reviews about them. 


Thanks

    just use rawlplugs, in the event of a fire, everyone should be out of the building by the time they’ve started to melt, anyway the plaster or wall would’ve given way before the rawlplugs fail.
