Presumably you recommend 12mm? That would make sense. I was at a wholesalers today and they have M8 threaded rods in 1m lengths and resin. Unfortunately it would mean buying boxes of M8 washers and nuts, so I'll probably stick with screwfix.

Presumably the wooden frame for the false wall just secures to the posts behind the plasterboard with long wood screws and then use threaded rods/anchor bolts with resin for the plasma?

Thanks for the links. I had read two of them but not the one on the resin fixings. Most floating wall setups I've seen are into a solid wall and not a plasterboard wall like mine, hence my request for fixings. I have yet to find long anchor bolts that will be of sufficient length that I need.

Thanks, I figured as much. The wall will have a plasma mounted. I don't know the weight but it's a 42" Panasonic i.e. pretty heavy. I have ordered a decent bracket but it's the fixings that have me stumped. I am therefore going to need some anchor bolts around 200mm long. The mdf is 18mm...

I intend to build a floating wall to mount my plasma TV. The wall I intend mounting to is plasterboard with a timber frame on a solid wall (breeze block). Do I need to bolt the floating wall frame to the posts/noggins only or do I have to go all the way through to the solid wall behind the...

I ended up going for Hilti and very impressed so far.

This seems like a good deal: http://www.my-tool-shed.co.uk/p1012850/Bosch_GBH18V-LI_SDS_Hammer_Drill_&_GSB18-2-LI_Combi_18v_Drill_Twin_Pack/product_info.html Bosch 18v L-ion twin kit (Combi + SDS). I don't know why it states 1 yr warranty though, I thought all Bosch pro stuff was 3 yr...

For full sized, I have Wera vde but they're not that comfy to use. For working on computers, I have a draper precision set which I got from amazon for about £12. I find them better and more comfy to use than other more expensive precision sets. I don't know if Halfords Pro do a precision set...

It is green. Whilst not really looking at a 10.8v drill, I fancy the other 10.8v tools that Bosch do in the Monster pack but I'm not sure what I would use them for. I suppose the 10.8v drill would be fine for easier tasks. I think I will therefore continue my search for a decent combi...

Wow, you have a fair few there!! I've seen the Makita BHP453RFX 18v (1x3ah L-ion battery) for £150 at a few places e.g. http://www.power-tools-pro.co.uk/makita-bhp453rf-18v-hammer-drill-driver-1-x-3ah-lithium-battery-13mm-chuck-p-5536.html If you want the pack with the second battery the...

LOL. I wondered how long it would be before someone mentioned Ryobi. I had obviously searched the forums beforehand and their name does come up a lot!

Yup, another drill question! My existing Bosch 24v cordless isn't working as well as it should, which is more than likely down to the battery. I have always promised myself a good drill, so have been researching a new purchase. The current 24v drill is a big old unit and pretty heavy so I...
