Wow! I'm sitting here honestly impressed by this idea. All the heavy duty toggle style seem to be strong. But don't do much of anything for the finished hole should it be removed. Great idea.
Everyone now is using Bullfix Plasterboard fixings for hanging cantilever stuff like wall heaters. They show performance of Geefix against Bullfix, Bullfix Plasterboard Fixings beats it on cantilever loads and is half the price. th-cam.com/video/7njhszp3a2g/w-d-xo.html
NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON AMAZON OF THE LINE USED TO PULL THESE TIGHT EASILY SNAPPING. MIGHT WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH 30 LB MONOFILIMENT LINE OR RISK LOSING THE PART THAT GOES BEHIND THE WALL. ALSO TIGHT THEM WITH A SCREWDRIVER NOT A DRILL. THEY COULD JUST END UP SPINNING LIKE A TOP AND NOT TIGHTEN.
These are great, but you may need longer versions of the small screws if that makes sense. I’m going through one sheet of plasterboard and one sheet of sterling board and the screws are too short to go through. Brilliant other than that though.
A 1-inch hole (25mm), OK, but how much clearance (depth behind drywall) do I need? I'm got a wall that only have about 3/4"-1" (19mm-25mm) depth (there's a steel plate behind the drywall). Can I work the GeeFix into such a space? (I've gone ahead and ordered a set to see for myself - wondering if there is data to tell me if this should work).
The device is designed to fit within a 30 mm space. You might be able to force the device in to the cavity you describe (25 mm-spacing-to-steel-plate backing) because it might slip relatively easily (since it's plastic) against the steel plate as you insert it.
@@chuckmuziani6262 I have a 30mm gap Between the dry wall and the plasterboard and I can’t get the plastic piece through and into position . Now I am left with a hole in the wall. Really not happy !
@@mrsinghsstereos6662 these need around 70mm cavity to turn so you are correct they will not go behind. Bullfix Plasterboard Fixings are easier to use , stronger and only need a 7mm cavity to work .th-cam.com/video/t3h_AcOsPec/w-d-xo.html
No, you need around 70mm cavity to turn a Geefix fixing. You are better with a fixing that creep into a gap of say 19mm like Bullfix Extra Plasterboard Fixings and Bullfix Universal Plasterboard fixings which can go into a cavity of 7mm! Stronger too and faster to use and half the price! th-cam.com/video/I79Y0YJNKRM/w-d-xo.html
Hi GeeFix, what an amazing product, congratulations. Would you recommend using your fixing for securing 8-10kg ceiling fan to double-layered plaster board?
So the tv bracket was installed directly onto drywall with no studs at all 4 points correct? Or did I miss understand and two of them were on studs? Pretty impressive if all 4 were in direct drywall. Hang test is crazy impressive if so.
Hi Bill, you are correct, but if you use a hole saw with an ejector spring it will blow a large hole in the back of the plasterboard. You also have to remove the debris then from the holesaw. So a Flat Zip Bit is fine if you apply light pressure like what is advocated at Bullfix Plasterboard fixings which actually outperform Geefix. th-cam.com/video/6YqqtYO_uoQ/w-d-xo.html
Best fixings for plasterboard walls but way too overpriced. I reckon some people on a tight budget will use this as idea and make similar at home DIY using similar thick pvc material. I
Ultimate handyman did a video of a shelve using four fixings for Geefix. He then did the exact same test using Bullfix Extra plasterboard fixings. Bullfix plasterboard beat Geefix by around 18 kg in a real application yet are much smaller, easier to install and less than half the price .

Seen you product on the Ultimate Handyman. Very impressed, good job.
A brilliant product. I recommend this to all my customers who have a stud wall and wish to hang infra red heaters to their walls.

Swedish wall bars - will it hold it?

Why is this not in homedepot

He used 4 geefixes, plus 2 more into the stud.
These are excellent.
Why are you using q spade bit which can tear and make a horrible mess of the back side of the dry wall.. A hole saw is the way to go.

Sorry but this can’t be manoeuvred in a space of 30mm behind the plasterboard . Very disappointed
