Default Screw/wallplug size

What's so good about Rawlplug Uno? I notice they don't have a hole at the far end - is it intended that the screw goes through the end of the plug?

I've always been a bit of a fan of Plasplugs myself


I've always found that any old junk works fine as a wallplug. I've used wood many times. On rare occasions I've had no plugs within getting distance & resorted to bits of discarded plastic or even slivers of ceramic tile once.. I also have a vague & possibly faulty memory of once using 2 or 3 screws to replace a plug.

The only reasons to go higher tech are severe loads or hollow walls.
