Thanks for the tip im going to try it on a larger plug but the thing that really got me smiling is all the years i have been blowing the dust away and you use the drill fan! that deserves a video of its own😄

It might of worked in someone else's house. But nothing works in this bloody house. I feel like going on the drink.

Matchsticks or other slivers of wood work great. Basically any softish material.

I also learn to blow the hole by using the drill's vent

Thank you 💖

Did this into drywall with fischer style plugs. The holes were blown out and spinning. I accidentally over drilled them. Used 4 pieces of 14 or 12 gauge wire. Worked perfectly. Thank you.

I just used this techniques to hang a retractable garden hose mechanism and it worked a treat! Great advice, saved my sanity for another day!😂

Nice one thanks. Also pleased to learn to use the drill to blow out the dust- another good tip.

Thanks very much for the tip about using a piece of wire. I used a bit of wire that's usually used for tying up cables and it worked a treat! I'm definitely gonna remember this in future. I usually hate dealing with rawlplugs but now I feel a lot better haha. Cheers!

This works great, used thinner wire to give myself more adjustment. Thank you!

Thanks mate worked like a charm on the first try. Was drilling a hole for my skateboard racks and the holes came out big af and my drill bit snapped 🤦 but yh I instead used *lead solder wire* works like a charm too cuz u can easily work it and cutting it is like cutting butter.

[jerewang]

I would have never thought of this, but it worked perfectly. Thank you!

[SuccessShared]

Brilliant tip thanks. Like the way you blew the excess dust from the hole with the drill motor!

[visionree]

Love how you blow dust away with the drill

[RajivSambasivan]

Thank you so much, just fixed my curtain bracket with your idea. Super cool.

[floridahummer]

thankyou, just drilled a 6mm hole and it was way to tight so I drilled the next size up 8mm way to slack,
