I've got an approx. 20kg TV that I want to fix to our drywall with a swing bracket. I'm wondering what fixing to use to fix directly into the metal stud. Can anyone recommend a fixing type to sit in metal stud?
I'm going to put a few secondary fixings into the plasterboard using spring toggles:

I've also got a pack of these:

I reckon these in the plasterboard would probably hold the whole thing in place if I were to gamble on them, but I'm not gonna risk the TV (and whoever might be underneath it at the time). I want to make sure I've got some solid, primary fixings directly into the stud.
Cheers!
