The humble Rawlpug is quietly sitting in walls all over the world – holding the shelf up that supports the books, the TV, the vase and the rest of the items we collect around us in our homes.  
It is one of those obvious inventions that are astonishing in their simplicity – and one of those inventions that satisfies a need so well that one wonders what happened before they were around.

Patented in 1911 the invention was granted an additional four  years of coverage, above the normal 14 years, as an acknowledgement of the intrusion of the 1914-1918 war.

“A medium sized Rawlplug fixed into a brick wall will hold half a ton”  and “ The largest rawlpugs for use with coachscrews will hold up to 4 tons”

The success of the product was most probably due to the extensive advertising the company did in the early years.  Even taking full page advertise-ments in national Newsoapers.
A later product that continued the success of the early product was th ‘Ralwbolt’.  This started a wave of new metal fixings for structural DIY products.
