Types of Plastic Wall Plugs:

1. Standard Plastic Wall Plugs:

   • The most common type, used in drywall and hollow walls. They expand as the screw is tightened, providing a secure hold.

2. Self-Drilling Plastic Anchors:

   • Designed for quick installation without pre-drilling. They have a sharp tip that allows them to be screwed directly into the wall.

3. Toggle Anchors:

   • Although often made from metal, some variations use plastic and feature a toggle mechanism that expands behind the wall for added strength, particularly in hollow walls.

4. Heavy-Duty Plastic Wall Plugs:

   • Designed for heavier loads, these plugs often have a wider diameter and deeper anchoring features to provide additional support.

Applications of Plastic Wall Plugs:

1. Hanging Pictures and Artwork:

   • Commonly used to securely hang lightweight to medium-weight pictures, frames, and artwork.

2. Mounting Shelves:

   • Suitable for installing shelves, brackets, and storage units on walls.

3. Attaching Fixtures:

   • Used for mounting fixtures such as light fixtures, towel racks, and coat hooks.

4. Installing Cabinetry:

   • Plastic wall plugs provide secure fastening points for wall-mounted cabinets and shelves.

5. General Home Improvement:

   • Ideal for various home improvement projects requiring secure attachments to walls.
