Overview
Gripit Blue drywall anchors are a pack of 4 reusable wing-style fasteners rated to hold up to 205 lbs (93 kg) on hollow walls, meant for hanging TVs, cabinets and wall-mounted radiators without needing a stud.
The wings fold out behind the board and lock in place with a clockwise twist, spreading the load over a wider area than a standard plastic plug. Gripit is explicit that this is a hand-tighten fixing only - no power tools, no damp or damaged drywall, and not for cantilever or full-motion TV brackets or anything subject to ongoing vibration. The stated weight figure is tied specifically to 5/8 inch drywall under controlled testing.
- Pack of 4 reusable anchors
- Holds up to 205 lbs (93 kg) on 5/8 inch drywall
- Fits wall thickness from 3/8 to 5/8 inch
- Made from high-grade polyacetal, designed in the UK
Who it's for
Suits anyone hanging a fixed heavy item on plasterboard or drywall where there's no stud to screw into. Not the right choice for tilting TV mounts, moving equipment, or walls that are wet, cracked or thinner than 3/8 inch.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Rated to 205 lbs on 5/8 inch drywall
- No stud required for a fixed heavy item
- Reusable by retracting the wings
- Simple three-step install
- Hand-tighten only, no power tools allowed
- Not rated for cantilever, swivel or vibrating loads
- Not for damp or damaged drywall
- Only 4 anchors per pack
Performance notes
Installation is drill, tap, turn: mark the spot, drill with the recommended flat bit, tap the anchor in, then twist clockwise so the wings spread behind the board and grip a larger surface area than a conventional anchor. An anticlockwise twist retracts the wings for removal, so the same anchor can be reused elsewhere.

Questions about the Gripit drywall anchors
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How much weight can the Gripit Blue anchor hold?
Gripit states up to 205 lbs (93 kg) per anchor, measured as sheer load on 5/8 inch drywall under controlled, independent testing.
Can Gripit anchors be reused?
Yes. Twisting the anchor anticlockwise retracts the wings so it can be pulled out and reinstalled elsewhere.
Will this work with a tilting or full-motion TV bracket?
No. Gripit's own safety guidance excludes cantilever and full-motion brackets, along with anything subject to continuous movement or vibration.
