Anyone ever used Duck Foot fixings?

Seen a contractor in work today who had a bag of them on the table.
Looked quite funky so looked on line for them. OUCH!

Interesting, but hardly cheap at over £1 a pop when "umbrella" fixings (hollow wall anchors) are 30 to 50p each and are reliable

That was why I put OUCH! at the end, LOL Watching the video of them they don't really look secure enough, to me any way, to hold a great deal of weight. Time will tell if they work as the contractors are using them to mount brackets for 67" media screens.

They are about £17 on ebay.

I wanna know why the guy in the video is working in his socks...

So 70p each... plus carraige? Hmmm.
