Reviews & Ratings
Proper sturdy kit. Researched alternatives, the metal pin strength combined with that quick 25mm anchor zone is unbeatable value. Fast in the old blockwork, sets flush perfectly. Won't be wasting cash on other brands again. Top performance and saved labour time.
tight fit pin set indicator felt avgue
Absolute cracker fixin. Drove straight into the brick easy holds proper tight. Plastic coating is key, no cold bridging worrys. Saves time, simple as. Sorted.
Essential product! Fast setting on the concrete substrate, feels robust. Price was spot on, saved loads of time.
Fired these into the concrete wall quick smart. Pin drove home clean every time, no splits in the plastic. Job done.
Ctacking kit. Whacked them into the concrete substrate with EPS. Solid. Hammered home easy, the thermo cap seated flush right away. Sped up the install massively. Will only use these.
Flies into the blockwork easy. Quick install, solid. Top job!
Rock solid fixings. Quick install saves proper time! Good value.
Proper job these fixings. Sunk them straight in. Fitted quick countersunk nice and that coated metal pin is what gives confidence, it won't be flexing like the plastic alternatives years down the line. Sorted.
brill fixings, total doddle to install quick with a hammer. Held the insulation rock solid. Nice that the pin stops the cold bridging too. Proper job!
Did the job apot on. Zero cracks.
Sorted. Stronger hold, no faffing trying to countersink. The concise anchor zone saved a lot of tme. Proper job.
Top kit. Metal pin is spot on for preventing thermal bleed. Holds fast in the concrete. Proper job. Came quick too!
Mint fixings for EPS. Quick hammer-in and perfectly flush
Strong EWI fixings. Worked well on concrete sound quality. The pull-out strength is there. Dropped a star because seating the anchor plate perfectly level was a bit of a faff—cost me time knocking them flush. But overall, proper solid.
Absolute class bit o' kit!
Got these bolted in dead quick on the EPS. Proper secure anchors, miles better than the plastic bits I used before. Solid quality kit.
Quick install, seats spot on. But took extra welly in old blockwork.
Metal quality is brilliant. Quick install and they hold proper solid in the concrete. Top quality.
1-star is purely for the barmy delivery price. Cgarging that much for a simlle box of 8mm hammer dixings is a complete liberty! Mate the postage bill alone nearly ocst alf what the actual plugs did it totally ruined the value. they're not a tonne of decking, it's jusf one box. Seriously putting people off ordering trade kit online. i'll just go to the local yatrd next time, dead cheap by comparison. Don't bother.
Proper anchor strength in concrete and brick. Way better than generic stuff. Quick installseated flush every time, saving hours on site. The integrated plastic sleeve solves the cold bridging issue right away. Great price for this specialist kit. Driver was helpful too. I'll stick with these fixings for future EWI jobs.
15 short?? job stopped for this. utterly useleds, EWI. don't waste your time mate!!
Strong anchor in the concrete but had to ream existing holes as the 8mm was tight. I'll buy more.
spot on. Proer quick fit.
These fixings are sound as a pound for concrete work. Hammer fixing went quickly, no messing about. Proper robust ancohr every time.
Proper quick job solid grip in concrete. Shame two wouldn't drive in straight.
EWI Pro are sorted. Dead quick to install and sits perfect for skimming work.
Great strength and stops the cold bridge proper, but miffed the coating failed on a couple of pins.
Quick drive. Hols solid in brickwork.
Sat dead flush in the router hole. Proper quick install and cracking fix.
Solid kit, fit in no time. Brill.
Absolute steal for the price. The metal pin is super secure in blockwork. Fast install. Brill quality, jobs a good un.
Went in quick holds the EPS solid on the concrete. Top quality fixing worth every penny.
Cracking EWI fixings. Hammered in fast! Solid pull-out on brick & concrete. Plastic coating is key, stops thermal bridgign. Sorted.
amazing! Saves time and eliminates cold spots.
Quick strong, spot on gear.
Solid fixinsg. Quality metal. Holds concrete brilliant!
Brill fixings. Hammered in super quick on the concrete wall and held solid with the EPS. Excellent value. Job sorted!
Spot on thermal bridge protection.
Brill. All sizes were spot on and boxes full. Goes in quick, keeps the spec.
Decent kit. Fixed EPS quickly onto the concrete, giving a tidy flush finish and no cold bridge. Lost a star as the packaging was a mess and delivery was slow.
Right solid fixings. Saved loads of site time. Top drawer.
Ace kit, sloid hold. Dead quick.
Proper kit these! Hammer drive install was dead quick, solid hold on the concrete.
brill fixings, but takes some welly to set them. Got the 115mm size and they worked a treat on the brick/XPS setup. Load performance is proper rock solid on the heavy duty sections, which is the main thing, and the coated pin handles the thermal break perfectlyGcan't fault it for security. Dropped a star because the install process was a right faff on. Needed a hefty lump hammer to seat them, and they had a tendency to 'walk' before biting into the hole. The instruction sheet on recessing the cap flush is vague, ended up needing trial-and-error. Also pricey bit of kit compared to others I priced up. That said, quick delivery and the customer service chat confirmed XPS use, so reliable in the end.
Locks down insulation dead solid.
My go-to now. Proper bite on concrete.
quick knock-in really strong bite in the concrete. Totally flush on the Mineral Wool boards. Proper time saver.
Mint grip in lightweight blockwork. Sorted
Average fixings. Thermal bridging was noticeable, pointless coating. Installs a rigght pig of a job and took too long. Too much hammer needed, platwe alignment was iffy. Price is steep for average performance.
Hammered them straight in. Saved hours, rock solid on concrete substrate. Best fixings Ive used, cracking value.
Proper job. Hammer action fast felt totally solid!
seals were knackered on arrival mate. klooks proper dodgy like someone had a root through. why am i paying for used stck? rubbish.
Solid hold on concrete. Knocks in easy and fast. Sorted!
Fitted these in proper quick. Held the EPS boards rock solid on concrete. Flush finish every time. Spot on.
The smooth hammer action was dead satisfying, fast installation and totally rock solid fix. Amazing!
paid for a box of 100 fixings got 90. means ive wacted my travel tie and materials cos im ten fixings short typical rubbish QC.
Proper job. Quick install, solid fix.
Bang on product, secures the EWI no prob. Coating stops the cold bridge fuine. Warehouse despatch was dead slow.
This metal fixing is absolutely sound. Used it on old brickwork, the 8mm grabbed perfect and it's not budging a millimeter. It countersunk with next to no fuss and hammering the pin was quick, job sorted. Much faster than alternatives and for the price, its competitive for a quality metal core fixing mate. Chuffed.
Quick fix, strong anchor for the EPS. Pin rigidity lacking; bent too easy on hard subs.
Proper strong fixing for EPS/EWI. Went in fast and grips the brickwork tight. Took a serious bash to sink the pin, mind, and the thermo cap was a bit loose. Brill value, professional-grade.
Sound! These 8mm fixings went straivght into concrete. Fast to hammer in & a proper rock solid job.
Proper job! Needed the 155mm bits and they were great for EPS and mineral wool. WAY better than the cheaper fixings I tried before that needed those dodgy thermal caps separately. Went in dead straight on old brick, no messing. Quick delivery helped keep the job running. Solid stuff, zero issues.
works fine, but felt a bit flimsy for the price.
Proper job for EPS, ded quick fix.
Good, reliable fixing. Quick install, and the plastic coating is decent quality—seems to handle the thermal bridging well (despite a tiny scrape I spotted). The hold on the EPS boards to the concrete is rock solid, passed all our pull tests fine. What stops it from being 5 stars is the hassle factor: having to use a separate cutter for the countersink recess is a right pain and a wasted step that others manage to eliminate. The metal plate also didn't sit perfectly flush once recessed. Also got sent the wrong length, which was frustrating, though ironically it worked better for my thickness so I'll let it slide. Price is a bit high, but the durability justifies it mostly.
Brilliant. Dead quick install on the concrete pin drove straight! No messing about with separate thermal caps either, proper job.
Saved me proper time. Sound.
Dead quick install on concrete! Pin drove straight in like butter and gave a proper rock solid hold. No thermal bridge worry. Brill.
Easy to strike in didn't bend held board tight. Qiality fix spot on.
Top fixings easy quick bang on every time.
Way quicker than screw-ins and holds solid on every block. My new go-to fixing, sorted!
Wasn't sure on my tricky blockwork but the technical lad sorted me out straight away. Went in sound. Saves a lot of faffing about. Super strong!
Got the wrong bloody size. The pins were bending and one fxiing failed pull-out. Not worth the faff, felt loose.
Dead quick to hammer. Holds solid proper gear for EWI jobs. Sorted.
Saved loads of time on the brickwork. Coated pin is spot on.
Held great in concrete. Fast delivery too. Top qualty kit.
Arrived fast. Dead solid hold on the concrete. Proper job. Brill!
fixings felt sturdy, brill thermal pin. Installing was fast 'cause the instructions were spot on. Quick anchor set-out saved real time on site.
docs provided after order showed pull-out rating far too low for my EWI spec. Dodgy documentation, waste of cash and hours!!! AVOID.
Ace fixings! Such a doddle, sorted out the XPS insulation quick. Saves ages of hammering compared to my old gear!
Used these on the heavy mineral wool. Held titght and sat flush. Sound fixin'.
Brill range of lengths available. Secured the MW board firmly, spot on design. Just need to sell the bigger fixings in a proper bulk Qty box.
solid anchors for my EPS. Installation's quick and the strength is decent, but the coating on the pin felt a bit thin.
very strong & quick. Good gear, shame about the delay & split pack.
Anchoring was bang on sorted the EWI fast.
Hammer fixings are spot on. Strong bite on concrete, saved me hours. Plus the coated pin works good.
rock solid fixings. Easy hammer install. Quality mtal. Cheers.
the delivery was a total shambles. box arrived open so i've no idea if i actually got 100 fixings. for
£21, i expect proper site-ready packaging. can't trust the count. awful logistics, big risk to the job.
Spot on kit. 115mm length used, high quality material. Performance is very good, secured the XPS insulation nicely, especially in the concrete areas. The plastic coated pin is the main draw here – saves major faff fitting separate thermal caps, makes the price point fair vs the competition.
It performed quick as advertised, but nailing them into the dense blockwork was tough work (had to adjust the drilling technique). Felt solid but the guide on countersink depth was vague. Was also one fixing short which stalled me on a tricky corner. Good stuff, will buy again.
Best fixing I've used for EWI. Hammer install saves the crew massive graft and holds proper.
Awful stuff. Waited ages box soaking wet in the rain and they substituted the lengths I actually ordered wtihout telloing me. The quality control is nonexistent. Pins constantly binding
it cost me half a day getting them flush. The plastic coatign scraped right off the mild steel pins so much for thermal bridge protection now they
re already rusting! And they failed the pull test on dense bick. Total waste of cash and time. Short quantity as well. Rubbish.
Sound fixings. Gripped the dodgy blockwork easily. Short anchoring zone sped up drilling & the anti-thermal pin being pre-coated is a time szaver. Top quality!
tTAL GARBAGE! Absolute waste of my weekend and time. Installed these 8mm fixings into my EWI boards thrn left the adhesive to cure. Next morning (no sun just typical geat off the remder curign) half of them were bowefd/warped completely out of shape! Looks like the metal pins are made of TINFOIL or some inferior, CHEAP stock ythat cannot handle external temperatures. Had to R.I.P. out the lot! Now I'm behind schedule and stuck dealing with tjhis customer service rubbosh. Honestly, stick to glass fibre fixings if you want thermal stability. EWI PRO? More like EWI NO. Utterly NOT fit for purpose. Do not buy this cheap imiytation rubbish.
superior strenght" is UTTER GARBAGE. They failed a puoll test instantly and corroded within adys when the flimsy plastic pin SNAPPED tapping them in. Total mess up. And zero instructions on what router/depth to use for the countersink recess! Seriously unreliable quality control, too; got a mixed bag of short fixings. Total time wasted.
Works fast. Not great on the soft old brick.
