Thank you 💖

[@RajivSambasivan]

[@mangatsinghdeol2941]

Really Helpful video. Thank you for sharing it.

[@catherinemcmanus742]

Thank you, this tip saved my life.

[@TheBroz]

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

[@nathansilvers]

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.

[@jerewang1]

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

[@benbalzer9716]

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

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

[@pjroo]

Brilliant dude!

[@killeenyarda]

[@johnstockton9349]

Thank you for the tip

[@CannyCarper]

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!😂

[@brieftodo]

Glad it helped!

[@scoobydan1585]

[@garrymobey912]

Mate you are magic, thank you it works brilliant 👍🏽👍🏽

[@alexm4656]

Great tip. Thanks

[@4july99]

This answers my question on your other video on the same subject, I’ll try and get some of those harpoon or plugs. Thanks

[@modbrother-ny6vz]

THANK YOU SIR! I used an old iPhone cable and it worked perfectly fine 😀

[@demonetizedhistory5806]

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.

[@nenadfalamic2537]

Thank you sooooo much! you rock :). saved my evening!

[@tudorcosmin-andrei4203]

Many thanks, You saved me !

[@trick700]

Does this work for Tapcon and Dewalt concrete fixings?

[@RustyPetterson]

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!

[@demonetizedhistory5806]

U can use anything pretty much, anything that's strong yet can be malleable but doesn't just break if that makes sense.

[@8charlier]

Perfect …thanks!

[@garymcgovern1849]

Perfect 👌 saved me a headache

[@SuccessShared]

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

[@XiiSharkz]

I use the wind from the drill motor to cool of my body from sweat after working 😂 i dont blow the hole from the dust because the dust will also help little bit when you put wallplug 🤣

[@patrickvdheide3906]

Thank you so much, it worked!

[@floridahummer]

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

[@danlee9624]

Love how you blow dust away with the drill

[@maha_4018]

amazing

[@jimmy2minutes]

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

[@alexthomson7465]

If it's any consolation.. I feel the same. I bought an old property and absolutely fuck all works.

[@briansandoval7739]

Sell the house or bulldozer

[@Flux_Flow]

Maybe we should start a support group, I'll drink to that.

[@nancy9697]

Super idea.....good.... thumbs up

[@brieftodo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fiona3821]

So the cable did you keep the wire in there?

[@antoniodilauro399]

Grazie

[@jimmy2045]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MUCH APPRECIATED SAVED ME INCREASING SCREW AND PLUG SIZE APPLIED TO INLARGED WHOLE WORKED PERFECT 💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TBKrugerrands]

Yep we’ve all got old cable hanging around the house !!!!

[@skyteus]

U dont? 🤣🤣

[@HonderdtachtigCC]

Well i just used tape wraped it Arround hamerd it in.. it works fine it holds my new tv.

[@stephenmckenzie1977]

Somebody double-drilled a hole for a curtain tie hook at different angles.. didn't have spare cable to hand but wrapping tape around the plug worked a treat to fill the hole enough to stop it spinning and wearing out the plaster. Cheers for that.

[@VivekSharma-lk8ek]

Came looking for this comment. Thanks mate

[@fredroper398]

wire coat hanger is good to

[@jasonsaddler3278]

I'll be back... Just about to hang a speaker shelf in my living room. I have a hole that's a little too big. I'll let you know and give it a like if I manage ok lol

[@mungrus]

Match sticks also work to shim it

[@vineysagar7902]

What about it wall concrete is weak and fisherstyle plug does not fix properly due to loose hole. Weak concrete. What can be done then?

[@yxhankun]

wall is solid.

[@DioBrando90]

Why specifically copper cable? Wouldn't other type of cable/metal that is multi strand work just as well?

[@MrAndrewjdavis]

Copper is soft and deforms to fill the space. Steel won't work as well.

[@ryk3899]

Works....faffy...but it works....you could easily just split another plug into 4 parts and put them.in around the full plug. Far less faff

[@churblefurbles]

basically the toothpick method for wood, but with copper

[@nigelpollitt5124]

Hm, I"d say this is ok as a bodge, but it's better to fill the hole and redrill generally, then you get a truly lasting fix

[@beecee6196]

why wouldn't solid core copper work?

[@brieftodo]

It may work but solid copper wire far less malleable compared to stranded copper wire when doing this trick so you would might need to use an impact driver.

[@davidurciuoli8594]

That was great enginuity.
Copper wire to the rescue!!

[@RDGub]

Kaybowwwww

[@AngeloR674]

Why not just use a concrete wall anchor

[@Elfin4]

Why not just split another rawl plug in half and place that in there, quicker and easier

[@grzegorz16100]

Not always enough room

[@Riderhook01]

A Hot Glue Pistol is faster:-)

[@robshaw3655]

use a bigger plug

[@Morpheus0000]

Then you need a wider screw
