Avoid Over-Tightening: Turning the screw too tightly can cause the plug to spin, lose its grip, or even split. Ensure the screw is snug, but avoid excessive force ( a combi drill is perfect for this job as you can use its variable torque settings)For very heavy fixtures, opt for a chemical fixing. These fixings may be more expensive but the results will be better – and safer! The only problem can be if you have some wall plugs that does not have the size written on it.

Being a few mm off can mean you end up with something that is not level.If you come across a wall plug with an unknown size, there is a simple way to determine the correct drill bit size needed. Start by getting a piece of cardboard and selecting a drill bit that you think is approximately the size of the wall plug. Drill a hole into the cardboard, being careful not to move the drill sideways and widen the hole larger than the bit. See how well your plug fits in the hole. If the hole is not big enough for the plug to fit in, try drilling a new hole with a larger drill bit. If the hole is too large, the wall plug will fit in easily, but the teeth won’t catch on the hole as you insert it. Try drilling a new hole with a smaller drill bit. When the wall plug fits in the hole, with the plug’s teeth catching on the hole as you insert it, then you’ve selected the right size drill bit. Use this drill bit in the wall when you widen the pilot hole to drill a hole of the appropriate size for the plug. Some additional tips Plastic and nylon wall plugs should have a usable life of 20+ years from manufacturing. Light, heat and water can discolour these plugs over time and gradually reduce their strength. To summarize, when using 14 hollow wall anchors, the recommended drill bit size is 7/16-inch. To ensure a secure fit, the drill bit should be sharp and the drill should be set at an appropriate speed for the wall material. By following these steps, you can be sure to get the right fit the first time. How to Choose Drill Bit Size for Wall Plug?
