It is easy.

Get a puttyfilla. It come in powder type or wet type. Get the wet type.

Use the tool provided, squeeze in as much as possible into the hole. Make it pop out a bit cause when dry, it shrink.

Once dry, send it flat till it blend to the wall. Paint it over and you never notice a hole at there.

The way our walls are done, blending the texture in is almost impossible mostly. The repaired area will always appear too smooth

Screw a slightly bigger screw. Only 2-3 round. If 3 round tight, 2 round is enough.

Use a player pull the screw. Or if you have nail hammer, put a wood on the wall and use the nail puller side to pull the screw.

You probably succeed or fail if too tight. In this case, just use the cutter cut away the protrude plastic and just plaster it.

Sand it properly and paint 2 layer.

It'll still protrude from light, man. Believe me. No matter how, it's impossible to replicate the original texture of the wall. So even after painting, the fixed area will appear smooth while the original wall is rough know what I mean? Some people don't mind, but if a wall repaired too much it can be pretty obvious.

Put a cross of masking tape on the area where the hole is to be drilled and mark the exact center of the hole on the tape, then drill it slowly.
I learned this from Internet and it help, no crack on tiles. smile.gif

i am a not-so-casual DIY but this tools sufficiently helps me in hanging household item

BOSCH GSB 1080-2-Li

its a cordless drill with hammer function, so far it serve me well to hang my TV, 8ft mirror and toilet storage racks.
for low speed and high torque, I switch mode to screw driving mode for other DIY jobs like study table assembly, cabinet assembly and some other wood stuff

assembly, screw driving = ok

i think normal plaster wall with bricks = ok

if its drilling a hole in concrete wall = no

i am using this for normal installing works and screw driving, and its still rather big to handle ...

for my curtain project - i got the Makita HR2470, makes the concrete wall look like tofu ...

concrete wall can but takes longer time because of the bpm is less compared to electrical corded drill
for me, as a user that drills concrete wall once every 3 years or maybe 10 years, i just go with it.

Quick question on some drilling I have been doing lately with my makita rotary hammer

I made several drilling for my curtains with the 6mm drill bit and use those 6mm anchor plug

I realised of 10 holes... Very likely 4 would be quite huge and the anchor plug would be too loose to drive any screw in

Is this because when I drill I move too much hence the bigger drill hole?

Should I use just rotary without hammer? Or get some. Bigger anchor plugs? Not even sure if there are bigger ones

So far been able to mod the anchor plug a bit to fit...

What did I did wrong here?

so there are bigger plugs available, will go source for them

so far i been stuffing some of the spiled anchors bits and pieces into a new anchor and is able to be used to drive a screw in ... i guess having the 8mm anchor will be great

Sometimes I have that problem. I solved it by using 5.5mm drill bit. Problem settled.
