I need to drill two 13mm holes into drywall 100 mm apart to fit a GRIP-IT fixing to attach a guitar hanger to the wall.
Would you use a pilot hole followed by a standard 13mm drill, or a flat drill bit?
Thanks,
Jason

Drywall? Is that the same as plasterboard? I'd say a masonry bit with a pilot hole for accuracy.
Not sure how the fixings work, but we tried the spring ones and didn't have enough room between the brick wall and plasterboard for it to spring. Doh!

They cut down on the space you need behind the plaster board. You can pick them up at Wickes. |

i find it often helps to follow the manufactures guidelines gripitfixings.co.uk/original-gripit/#installationalso make sure you know where your studs are so that you don't drill into a wood stud. although if you are at a wooden stud then there is no need for these fittings and a wood screw would do. also check both sides of the wall to make sure there are no cables or water pipes in the wall as well ;-) |
