Default 9mm -mutter, grumble....

Or revert to the well tested and tried plan B: Drill the 10mm hole, cut
a
square piece of wood slightly bigger than depth and diameter of hole, cut
a
small lead-in taper on the end, bang timber plug into wall, cut off to
length with a chisel and then insert screw (pre-drilling hole in plugs as
necessary).


Sounds like a lot of needless ****ing about to me


It used to be quite common.
I even used old pencils as plugs.
I have seen wooden wedges used for frame fixings for doors and windows too.
