What is a rawl plug?

A Rawl plug, also known as a wall plug or anchor, is a cylindrical device used to secure screws into walls or other materials that may not provide sufficient grip on their own. Typically made of plastic, metal, or other durable materials, Rawl plugs expand when a screw is inserted, creating a tight hold within the wall. They are commonly used in construction and DIY projects to support fixtures like shelves, brackets, and light fixtures. Proper installation ensures that the screws are anchored securely, preventing them from pulling out under weight or pressure.
