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.


Matchsticks used to be the go to solution. They were useful as tile
spacers too. These days it's easier to find plugs than boxes of matches
though.

I still have some of the old fibre-type Rawlplug in useful lengths. Haven't
used any for many years thogh.
