Default Which wall plug

Fischer SX are very forgiving - 4 way expansion to grip.

SX6 cover just about everything, SX8 & SX10 for 8 & 10mm
respectively. SX seem to go "very flush" in most materials without
difficulty and hold the "opening" better than UX.

Bizarrely Screwfix does not do SX, just polythene which in some
bricks just pull out - perhaps that is the idea :-)


I use the Fischer grey plugs from SF for everything and have yet to
have one rotate or pull out in any material. Probably helps that I
always drill on the tight side, sometimes need a good whack with the
hammer to get them in flush. I'll look out for the SX when I need some
more.


Uno plugs work in everything, block, brick, plasterboard etc. Do the SX &
SF ones do that?
