Plastic wall plug alternatives

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

The idea of only using fire rated supports at strategic points has its merits and one that I considered.

However, if you are going to the expense of three screws, three wall plugs, three bits of wire and three cup hooks(say 50p), then why not go the extra 50p and splashout on three p clips and three wall dogs?
