OT Torx drill bit
I wonder if there are any d-i-y experts here (non-electrical) I am fastening a fitting on the kitchen wall - it comes with a torx headed screw. I guess from what I have read here, I need to drill a torx hole - and a torx drill bit to drill the hole. Will I need a torx wall plug of some sort? Is this correct? |

As long as it's a torx wall you're fitting it to. |

Make sure the drill isn't in reverse, or you will drill a 'xrot' hole. Will I need a torx wall plug of some sort? Absolutely. Not expensive through. Torx is cheap. Is this correct? Might be safer to get an electrician in. Qualified of course. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR.

Please explain to the rest of the class how it is possible to 'read' pictures. And I do know better. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR.
