What wall plugs & anchors do I use? OCD box tour!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 кві 2020
- A little while ago I made a video showing you common screws I take to every job. Today I'm giving you a tour of my plugs / anchors box! These are just a selection of stuff I take to every job - obviously I'd also carry bigger supplies of some of the larger items (space plugs, wall bolts etc.) if I needed lots of them.

Lots more links to vids about wall fixings in the description. Enjoy and stay safe folks! 👍
Good to see you back, Andy.
Cheers! Still in house move limbo. 😂👍
The man is back! Welcome!
Thank you! 👍👊
The videos on Corefix have been a revelation.Used for the first time on dot and dab with vertical radiator and what a solid fixing
Cheers Andy👍🏻
FYI you can buy neodymium magnets with a hole in the middle, they are fantastic for stud finding as you can make a nice small pencil or awl mark dead in the centre. I keep half a dozen in my toolbag for just this purpose. But they have a secondary function. If I drop something or need to fish something from an awkward place you can use the hole to screw the magnet to the end of a stick etc. Much more secure than tape which always falls off in the worst place (don't ask me how I know lol)
Nice to have you back Andy - another useful vid. Have a similar box but no magnets - great idea thanks.
Cheers Adam! 👍👊
Well done ! Gute Erklärung ! Greets from Germany
Personally I keep my range of plain thread screws that I have for wall plug use (say 20-30 of each, and more of the common ones) in a bigger organiser together with all the wall plugs/fixings. So that one box and the SDS drill case is everything I need for wall fixing jobs, instead of one box for screws and separate box for plugs. I don't use any self-drilling/cutting screws with wall plugs like you mentioned in your other video so they stay in the separate screw box only used for wood working etc.
Always informative .
Great channel .
Stay safe everyone
Cheers - stay safe! 👍
Those magnets are brilliant. I bought a row of them last year to locate studs throughout my house, and they haven't lead me astray.
Where have you been ? Great video.
Cheers bud! In house move limbo at the moment. Lots of stuff going on behind the scenes. 👍😀
The core fix are fantastic. I've used them to fit a 75" led TV(36kg) to dot n dab walls. Regarding the hollow wall anchors, do think the sizes might refer to the expanded diameter? I use rawplug Uno red, brown and blue in plasterboard walls for items up to 15kg where the forces are acting mainly perpendicular to the plug. They expand along there entire length and start gripping as soon as you insert the screw. Keep up the good work.
Great video, like the idea of the adjustable spacers,just not confident how strong so far as compression goes when hanging a radiator on a 40mm insulated plasterboarded brick wall.
Great video thanks
Hello! Could you possibly do a video on fixing to metal studs if you get the chance? I've moved into a new flat and they're everywhere! Thanks for all the great content!
I normally just do a little pilot hole and then use normal wood screws but you have to be REALLY careful not to hit anything hidden inside the studs. It's a bit of a gamble. 😢👍😀
@@GosforthHandyman Thanks for the advice. I've already watched your video about cable avoidance so it should be fine!
Thanks for the Video Andy. Those magnets are a great idea, but just FYI they won’t be any good at finding pipes, 99% of pipework in UK houses is copper which is non magnetic, and obviously it’s plastic in the newer houses anyway.
Oh, I more meant that unfortunately the pipes and cables often run inside the metal studs. 😢👍
Hi Andy, thanks for the video, looks similar to my assortment box , but as a diy,er I bet I only use a quarter of what's in it , but it's comforting knowing you've got it all whith you,lol. I take it there's no move on the horizon ,due to this lock down, ?. Here's Whishing you all the best, stay safe, Stuart.uk
Cheers Stuart! Everything is just moving at a snail's pace... 😂👍
Well, Andy, I see you moved out of your shop, are you moving to a bigger and better? Or have you decided you need a smaller shop?
Thanks for all of the videos that you share! Felix
Cheers Felix! Moving house so not quite sure what the new shop will be like yet - probably a bit smaller 👍
Why did a pack of Fischer plugs come with 7mm plugs, but all my drill bit sets come with 8mm bits
I wonder if you could measure pull-out force on thermalite blocks with: bare screw without plugs and screw with plug(s) when you pour a bit of diluted pva into the hole.
I made experiment with PVA and i think it is much stronger but can't measure that.
Advice wanted need to put length of cleet wood so can hang a tool cabanet (bit heavy) but want to take off wall some times that's why using cleet to hang it on what fixings would I need to use for the length of wood (cleet) to the secure to a plaster board hollow wall if can be done thanks in advance
If it's heavy you really need to find the studs. 👍
@@GosforthHandyman do you have any videos on how to use or they operate in a caverty wall the hallow wall anchors the heavy duty ones in your box in this video
Subbed!! 👍👌🌞
I bet when Andy is short of something to say to visitors he gets his Stanley Sortmaster out and starts talking about fixings lol
Can't wait for your videos working on your new gaff, stay well!
You know me too well! Cheers and stay well too! 👍
any chance of a review on the new fischer duotec 12 hollow fixing?
When you measure a screw or bolt, you measure without the head(unless it's a v shaped head) , hence the difference in your measurements!
The "mystery" one's aren't designed for use where you have tiles. They're used for double layer plasterboard or multilayer with OSB/ply and plasterboard. That's why they still have the teeth to help stop the fitting rotating in the plasterboard before you have fully set it.
The teeth are pointless when you use a setting tool. 👍
Wandered where you got too. Why did you fold up your shop, are you still working? Did you set up somewhere else?
Cheers! Moving house and got a big renovation coming up. There'll be a new shop but I'll be 100% on the renovation as lots to do. Watch this space. 👍👌
@@GosforthHandyman renovation of new house? I hate moving. Good luck mate, at least your getting work, all quiet here coz of covid19 so might go broke yet. Let me know if you need a carpenter 😂🤣 no, really....😢
Hollow wall anchors - perhaps the stated measurement is the tips of the wings when expanded inside the wall?
Checked and it's not that either - very odd. 👍😂
If you would like to receive some “saw-anchor” plugs designed for use in aircrete/AAC walls I will be happy to send some from Thailand, I think that they may not be available In the UK. They have extremely good holding power in those soft blocks. If you would like to try these just let me know.
I did try to send an email a couple of months ago as I was going to come to the U.K. but it probably got missed in all the bad things that have been happening.
All the best, stay safe.
Fischer vs Rawlplug showdown?
No news on the house move?
Not really, still progressing at a snail's pace. 😂👍
Hi Andy could the hollow wall length that makes no sense be how much it spreads behind the wall once you’ve used the setting tool?
Checked and it's not that either! 👍😂
@@GosforthHandyman It's the same way that planed timber is measured
Me encanta tus videos :)
What stud sensor do you use?
hi Andy, whats the model number of the bosch stud detector you are using in the video using the magnets please?
Thanks for the video. I was wondering why you don't have any 'helter skelter' screw fixings for plasterboard. I use them a lot but then I looked them up and found out what drawbacks they have - see for example ua-cam.com/video/xjF827bxPFQ/v-deo.html
What's a Dot & Dab wall?
See this vid: ua-cam.com/video/87hOAnt9d5s/v-deo.html 👍

I have a box like that 🤦 I'm doomed
