{"title":"Drivas","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivas\u003c\/strong\u003e (also known as drive anchors or plastic drive anchors) are a direct-drive fixing system that eliminates the need for a separate wall plug by combining the anchor and fixing into a single component. At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, drivas are available for the masonry, brick, and concrete fixing applications where speed and simplicity are the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA driva is driven directly into a pre-drilled hole with a hammer and then has a screw driven into it - or in some designs, the driva and screw are driven simultaneously in a single hammer action. The expanding anchor locks into the masonry as the screw engages, providing a clean, positive fixing without the intermediate step of inserting and repositioning a separate wall plug. They're particularly well suited to fixing into lightweight concrete blocks, aerated concrete, and soft masonry where a standard plastic plug may spin or pull out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombined anchor-and-fix system - no separate plug required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive directly into a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for lightweight concrete blocks and aerated masonry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaster installation than traditional plug-and-screw methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in sizes for light and medium duty fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for domestic construction and renovation projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"plasterboard-drivas","title":"Plasterboard Drivas (Sold as singles)","description":"\u003cp\u003eInstall light to medium-weight items onto plasterboard quickly and securely with our convenient plasterboard drivas.
