Can I use the DuoBlade on any type of wall?

No, the DuoBlade is designed specifically for use with plasterboard.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

No, a standard or cordless screwdriver with a PZ 2 drive is sufficient.

What can I hang with the DuoBlade?

It is suitable for fixing smoke detectors, curtain rods, blinds, and other similar items.

What is the maximum weight the DuoBlade can hold?

The weight capacity depends on the plasterboard thickness and the screw used. Always consider the weight of the object being attached.

How do I remove the DuoBlade if I need to?

Unscrew the object, and you may be able to remove the DuoBlade by unscrewing it or prying it out. If the hole is enlarged, you may need to fill it.

Where can I buy the Fischer DuoBlade?

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the hole during installation.

Ensure you are using the correct size screw. Try to pre-drill a pilot hole if the plasterboard is damaged.

Screw does not tighten properly.

Check the screw size to ensure it is within the 4-5 mm range. Make sure the item you are attaching is not too heavy.

Fixing is not flush with the wall.

Apply consistent pressure during installation and make sure you have the correct screwdriver bit.
