Thanks for the tip im going to try it on a larger plug but the thing that really got me smiling is all the years i have been blowing the dust away and you use the drill fan! that deserves a video of its own😄

@reuk 2 года назад

I also learn to blow the hole by using the drill's vent Thank you 💖

Matchsticks or other slivers of wood work great. Basically any softish material.

Did this into drywall with fischer style plugs. The holes were blown out and spinning. I accidentally over drilled them. Used 4 pieces of 14 or 12 gauge wire. Worked perfectly. Thank you.

I just used this techniques to hang a retractable garden hose mechanism and it worked a treat! Great advice, saved my sanity for another day!😂

It might of worked in someone else's house. But nothing works in this bloody house. I feel like going on the drink.

If it's any consolation.. I feel the same. I bought an old property and absolutely fuck all works.

THANK YOU SIR! I used an old iPhone cable and it worked perfectly fine 😀

@RustyPetterson 3 года назад

Thanks very much for the tip about using a piece of wire. I used a bit of wire that's usually used for tying up cables and it worked a treat! I'm definitely gonna remember this in future. I usually hate dealing with rawlplugs but now I feel a lot better haha. Cheers!

@demonetizedhistory5806 Год назад

U can use anything pretty much, anything that's strong yet can be malleable but doesn't just break if that makes sense.

@SuccessShared 2 года назад

Brilliant tip thanks. Like the way you blew the excess dust from the hole with the drill motor!

@XiiSharkz 11 месяцев назад

I use the wind from the drill motor to cool of my body from sweat after working 😂 i dont blow the hole from the dust because the dust will also help little bit when you put wallplug 🤣

I would have never thought of this, but it worked perfectly. Thank you!

@HonderdtachtigCC 4 года назад

Well i just used tape wraped it Arround hamerd it in.. it works fine it holds my new tv.

@stephenmckenzie1977 4 года назад

Somebody double-drilled a hole for a curtain tie hook at different angles.. didn't have spare cable to hand but wrapping tape around the plug worked a treat to fill the hole enough to stop it spinning and wearing out the plaster. Cheers for that.

@demonetizedhistory5806 Год назад

Thanks mate worked like a charm on the first try. Was drilling a hole for my skateboard racks and the holes came out big af and my drill bit snapped 🤦 but yh I instead used *lead solder wire* works like a charm too cuz u can easily work it and cutting it is like cutting butter.

@RajivSambasivan Год назад

Thank you so much, just fixed my curtain bracket with your idea. Super cool.

We work on a nightmerish wall Never saw anything like this The wall is filled with Styrofoam You drill it for like 5 seconds and then you fall in to the wall with the drill We are supposed to put cement boards up So we need to drill holes for the rails we screw the boards to but this ish is constantly failing with this empty A wall

@mungrus 2 года назад

Match sticks also work to shim it

@ryk3899 4 года назад

Works....faffy...but it works....you could easily just split another plug into 4 parts and put them.in around the full plug. Far less faff

@nigelpollitt5124 Год назад

Hm, I"d say this is ok as a bodge, but it's better to fill the hole and redrill generally, then you get a truly lasting fix

Does this work for Tapcon and Dewalt concrete fixings?

@vineysagar7902 2 года назад

What about it wall concrete is weak and fisherstyle plug does not fix properly due to loose hole. Weak concrete. What can be done then?

@fiona3821 3 года назад

So the cable did you keep the wire in there?

@DioBrando90 3 года назад

Why specifically copper cable? Wouldn't other type of cable/metal that is multi strand work just as well?

@MrAndrewjdavis 2 года назад

Copper is soft and deforms to fill the space. Steel won't work as well.

@beecee6196 2 года назад

why wouldn't solid core copper work?

@brieftodo Год назад

It may work but solid copper wire far less malleable compared to stranded copper wire when doing this trick so you would might need to use an impact driver.
