Before you drill

Which bit? The fixing decides.

Most holes that will not hold were drilled with the wrong bit, or the right bit at the wrong size. Say what the wall is and what goes in it.

1. What are you drilling into?

2. What goes in the hole?

The fixing sets the size of the hole, not the screw.

The counter

Ask what you would ask across the counter.

It answers from Tally & Torque’s own parts list, delivery charges, return rules, stock check and drilling guide. It will not give steps for electrical wiring, will not say a fixing holds a weight, and says so.
