Some Simple DIY Tips for Wall Plugs / Anchors!

Welcome back to the Gosforth Handyman Tips Library! Today I'm giving you a few simple tips when using the humble yellow, red or brown wall plugs / anchors. These are only for if you're using these plugs in solid walls. I'll do a separate vid covering hollow walls, dot & dab and thermalite / aircrete. Remember you want to pick a screw length to ensure full contact with the plug throughout it's length - so bear that in mind. Obviously that will depend on what you're attaching to the wall. Always follow the manufacturer's maximum recommended loadings.
