We use these for almost everything, selecting the size appropriate for the weight involved…….

Yes, I like these too. Very strong and secure if done carefully, but quite easy to mess up!

Getting the 'tightening' started can take quite a firm turn of the screw, and if the fixing also turns, it'll tear the front paper - bad news.

If you are doing lots, then really worth getting the application tool - one squish and it's in place.

Drill the hole snugly, cleanly and carefully - and don't burst through the back of the 'board.
