Takker wall hanger
I saw this advertised but was not convinced that it would work on a plastered wall. The advertising was a bit ambiguous as to whether it was suitable for plastered walls or plasterboard. Given that it was just under £10 I thought it was worth a try.
How glad I am that I tried it - and I am happy to recommend it to others.
We have just redecorated and all the walls in the house have been replastered and we have numerous photos to hang - and although I have previously used hard nails to fix them to the wall - inevitably the plaster chips and you are left with an unsightly crater.
Using the Takker was simplicity in itself, exactly as described, position the guide where you need the tack, pull out the plunger to load a tack, then push home firmly and, voila, there is a sturdy fixing. So far I have used it to hang about a dozen photo frames without mishap.
I cannot say, with any certainty, how robust the fixing is, but it feels far more secure than the 'hammer & nail' approach I used previously.
