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

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.

I NEVER use the fixings supplied. 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.

Basket ball hoops need heavy duty metal fixings, people hang off them


At age 8? Circus beckons....
