Totally transformed the tedious mounting of industrial shelving brackets

Screwfix having been doing them for a few years. Originally marketing
a german product Multi-Monti, but now several manufacturers:

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember The Other Mike
saying something like:

That's the ones. My local stockist only had the Torx-head versions, but
that was no problem. The first one went in so easily I thought it
couldn't be a good fixing and would pull out, but no amount of pulling
and tugging on it would shift it.
For 7.5mm the drill hole is 6mm, information which was lacking in the
stockist's shop.

Hi there

I have a use for these coming up. What tool do you use to put in the Torx-
headed versions? I was expecting to have to use a bit of leverage and was
thinking about buying a Torx 'head' for my socket wrench, but from what you
say I'm wondering if that won't be necessary...

Thanks

I have a set of Draper Torx bits, so just mounted one of those in a
cordless drill.

I'd seen them recommended for fixing satellite dishes, so I used some of
the 'Lightning bolts' available from toolstation, certainly gave a nice
firm fix.

I'm thinking of relocating a satellite dish so I'm interested in concrete
fixings. The problem I had the first time round (using straight-through
bolts and nuts) was drilling into the concrete (the wall of a sectional
garage): the inner face broke away as the drill came through. Perhaps with
these bolts I could get away with blind holes if the thickness of the wall
permits.

I've used Monti screws for this in the past.

That link's not working I'm afraid, but I should be able to find them with
the name.

That'll teach me to try using mobile phone URLs in posts to Usenet.
