Yes, I had an outdoor alarm device with fixing kit that seemed to have been
made to the cheapest possible specs imaginable some years ago, if they are
not going to provide things that work, why supply them at all, one wonders?

Its like sometimes you get cable ties for helpfully keeping 12v lines of
garden lights tidy, but they are made of a plastic that given one frost and
hot summer break up.

I'm sure there is a law of nature involved in this sort of thing.

The other grandad bought it for Buster (8). Buster's dad tried to screw it
to the wall and failed. I was invited to Sunday dinner, but asked to come
early.

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.
