Independently tested on 10mm* and 13mm** AUS/NZ standard plasterboard.

Note: GripIt are designed to accept screws of various lengths provided that the tip of the screw, when fully inserted, does not make contact with solid material within the wall space. To determine the maximum length of screws, measure the thickness of the item, to be secured to the wall and then add a minimum of 15 to 20mm for GripIt.
