I bought some equipment it came with screws. It needs screwing into the wall. So I bought some plugs/fixings from homebase. The end of the screw doesn't seem to reach the end of the plug/fixing, and it splits at the bottom. Here is a picture
IT says that the screw must penetrate 25mm into the fixing. Fine, the screw is 25mm long. But the picture on the fixing box shows it reaching tho the end of the fixing - the fixing is 30mm long and also, the picture on the box shows it fitting snugly without splitting the fixing.
Is this the right size fixing for the screw? And do I just drill a hole and if the hole's too small find a slightly bigger drill bit. The box says it needs a 6mm masonry drill. But i've done it before using drill bits and getting bigger until it fits. I don't know what size my drill bits are but I know that at least one is an ok size.
