Yes. I find a heavy hammer - a club one - used in this way the most
likely to succeed. Although it still requires a deal of skill if the
material is hard. Using the special wallplugs makes life easy - if it's
easy to drill at the location. But they're not that readily available -
TLC etc don't seem to stock them anymore. I've often meant to look for a
cable tie with screw fixing at a reasonable cost - this could have many
such uses.
