Not for unconstrained squish onto the back of thin boards, no. Are they any good at it?

What a wonderful technical term 'unconstrained squish'! :-) Love it.

If you mean 9mm plasterboard, then yes very strong fixing indeed. Never seen the back.

I tend to judge fixings by how well they pull the fixture to the wall. If screwing battens to PB walls with Uno's the screw will start to pull into the wood.

Dave, what are the different colours for? I see on SF website there are Red, Brown, Blue and Yellow.

Sizes. Does make picking the right one out of a random pile much easier.

Different sizes. Yellow 5mm, red 6mm, brown 7mm, blue don't know never used them.

80% of the time I use the red ones. The yellows are handy when fixing those annoying things that have two holes in close proximity. Browns for heavier duty.

They do a selection box

which is quite often on offer in the depots at half price.
