The other grandad bought it for Buster (8). Buster's dad tried to

Son-in-law has a good hammer drill (thanks to my advice). He has a
full set of SDS drill bits (thanks to my generosity). But the supplied
plugs were very hard plastic and were too big to be tapped into a 7mm
hole and were loose in an 8mm hole. The supplied screws had narrow
necks and big heads. The necks sheared off with only moderate torque
applied. Poor lad thought it was him. I had to reassure him that it
was the plugs and screws. He had a few plugs and screws loose in his
toolbox so we managed. Then we had fish pie.

I NEVER use the fixings supplied.Â* 5.5mm SDS, red plugs and 4mm screws
will fix most thinds

Ohh that's small! I have red plugs but never use them. It's easier to
get a good fix with a bigger plug. I use No 6 or No 8 screws into 7mm
plugs, or 8/10 screws into 10mm plugs.
