Hmm, I'm tempted. However I already have 4 boxes of screws and once I find screws that are just right for yellow and red wall plugs, I don't know that I'll need more.. and if I do I'll buy a box. I do have one of those boxes already and I use it for odd screws for PCs - I build them from time to time, I've done watercooling etc so I've had a lot of unusual sized stuff.
The electrician will be straightforward about what needs done, he's a good guy so he'll make sure I go down the best route.
I think I need the smaller drill bit for my walls because of their composition, they turn to dust when I drill in, although there's tough black ash in parts too, I think that leads to them having a bigger hole, or the plug having less purchase. The 5mm drill bit and the red wall plug were the right combination.
A tip I was given on these boards was to fill the hole with no more nails before using it. Next time I'm doing something - I'm sure it'll be calmer - I'll do that as well. I think as long as I get the wall plug recessed into the hole so that it's not exposed in any way, and as long as I don't go too overboard with no more nails it'll work perfectly, and mean the wall plug is permanently in there...and also if I need to cover it up I won't need to dig into the hole to get rid of the plug, I can just fill it and sand it.
