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.

Yes. For some reason my ceiling fan is a wall fan now.

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

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.

Looks like something Tim Taylor would come up with from “Home Improvement.”

“We use these to affix Al’s mom’s chin-up bar to the wall.”

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.

My wife has one of those in the nightstand. Im relieved to find out that it's just a wall anchor. Why does hers take batteries, though?
