Any decent cavity fixings?

[briwire]

Been doing some fixing onto plasterboard today, not so much electrical work, more shelving and pictures. It made me realise that the perfect cavity fixing has yet to be invented. I tried the spiral metal ones, plastic collapsible, toggle type. There were issues with all of them, spinning in the board or the screws not gripping.
Can anyone recommend a good one that actually works?

Hollow wall anchor set with the actual setting tool.

I've also found that the actual branded ones are a consistent quality and worth the small price premium to avoid random failures.

are you using the right size drill and the drill is not running out at all, making a slightly bigger hole - BUT had a lot of success with these

I actually had a box of various sizes from Lidl in 2019 before lockdown and used a few - So you may need to look at the length and shaft needed

Personally I've found those to be a waste of time, if trying to get a final tighten they break and will spin.
Seems I'm not the only one:

Big up for these, they have always been my 'go to' fixing for audio visual installations, but the right tool is required to do a pull to make them expand. I've seen people insert them and then use a cordless drill which makes a right mess of the 'fingers' as they twist rather than expand straight.

Go for a recognised brand, the crimp on the threaded part can fail on some of the cheaper versions and spin, or even worse pull through the fixing.

However I offer the screwdriver method is unreliable, I suspect because the thread fills with plaster and jams under the tension required.
