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.
