Artur Fischers plastic wall plugs were and still a true revolution. Being one of the best inventors of all time with over 1100 patents (even overtook Thomas Edison) and 5867 trade rights, I sure would be happy too.

I just learned about him today. Funny how I’ve probably used hundreds of wall plugs without even knowing who invented it.

I bet that’s the kind of smile you have when you create something that ends up being used by so many people.

Those plastic wall plugs kind of suck ass.

There sure are situations where other wall anchors or plugs are better, but all my experience with the OG fisher wall plugs were superb (when used correctly). In walls, ceilings with brick, concrete or in my drywall ceiling holding my heavy ceiling fan directly above me.

I don't think drywall is rated to support a ceiling fan.

Hahaha found the American. Talk about stuff you know something about, like mudding bullet holes or something.

Don’t know anything about that sorry. Plenty of people use those anchors here but that doesn’t mean they don’t suck and there aren’t better things like toggle bolts for instance

Flew right over your head. The conclusion of you being American is that you are just a different kind of construction to everyone else. I'm not debating the better or worse part about that. You just don't need these kind of anchors. Everytime there is some hint of those anchors Americans are hating on them, almost all over the world these are standard anchors for brick and concrete houses all over the world. Just because you don't grasp the use case doesn't mean the whole world seems to be wrong.

Suppose that we will find the right drill bit.. will such a plug work? Or that geometry fails ove a certain threshold?

Ryekal

If it was real, I expect it would depend mainly on what it's made from, and the geometry of the screw. Though it's also worth considering at that scale the forces involved might just crack open whatever it was used in.

I believe it would still function, however everything else would have to be scaled up as well. your standard sheet of drywall is not going to be nearly thick enough to support that.

Fischer is actually the brand I prefer when it comes to these plugs. I've used so many, found that brand worked the best and worth the price if you care about quality and then found out he's the inventor.
