There is a clearance hole and pilot hole size.good point. was thinking of buying a tool to find electrical wires. Can advise on wall plugs and how to match drill bit size to screw?
Great advice, when you push the pick thru the wall and get an electric shock you will have traced the wiring.I recommend carefully pushing an ice pick into the wall at your candidate location as a probe to see what is behind it. You may need to relocate the hole and caulk the pick hole.
I assume the person probing is not grounded and the cable jacket resists mild probing. Sharp things and abrasive surfaces are reasonably foreseeable by the cable makers.Great advice, when you push the pick thru the wall and get an electric shock you will have traced the wiring.I recommend carefully pushing an ice pick into the wall at your candidate location as a probe to see what is behind it.

I've always wondered if the electrocution mortality rate per 100,000 is higher in countries that use more than 120vac. If not, the US may be more careless.You are giving advice to people in the UK where we have 240volts and it kills.
Only a handfull of fatal injuries in the UK due to electric shock, and a quarter of those involve workers.With 60 million in the UK it is far lower than US , but we have much more stringent regulation and better informed public than US.
