I had already drilled the holes and fitted the red rawl plugs. About a 2m length of dado. He has access to a screw box and an impact driver (with a proper PZ2 bit fitted). So how long? 3 h How many screws did he break by using the impact driver in full-on gorilla mode ?. In full gorilla mode he would have driven the screw head completely through what he was trying to fix, necessitating a screw with a larger head or a big washer. That's after he's managed to removeĀ* that screw complete with plug possibly bringing bits of plasterboard and brick dustĀ* with it thus requiring the drilling of an even bigger hole, maybe requiring a brown plug and a fatter screw this time. Probably the closest. The actual answer is that he was unable to to the job. He used 3" screws, rammed them in all the way thus pulling out the red plug. He managed on every red plug. Absolutely useless. Maybe he helped someone install a kitchen and thought they were wall hung cabinets. I'll just go with useless. He is no longer with us and I am named on the divorce papers. -- Adam |
