Do you mean the new type:

They look like the ones I have. But I see that site includes:

"GripIt Fixings have been designed for use with all types of
plasterboard installation:
....
Double-thickness plasterboard"
...."


And then goes on with:

"Features & Benefits:
Fits 9.5-15 mm plasterboard"

That leaves me with bugger all idea if they mean they work on thickness
up to 15mm or up 30mm.

Sorry!


Well, the original type will - just tap them in a bit further.

But I have not seen the new type in the flesh!

It's possible it might not be quite as strong as most of the GripIt will
be handing on one of the 2 skins.

Not sure if that will make a lot of difference!
