    Hi Matt,

    I know our guys use them a lot, so they must be ok, but don’t ask me any technical questions!!!

    i have all the usual screws, self drilling ones, normal ones, and other fixings, just thought these looked quick and easy and give a good finish without caps etc.

    Hi Andrew/Martin

    How did you know I’d be looking at this thread?!

    You are right though, they look great, I had a sample through a while ago, couldn’t remember who they came from. Now I know!

    BTW, hope you remember who you are soon :lol1:

    Thing is how do you remove them? Do you have to drill them out?

    Not sure I would sleep well with the gales up here at the mo using plastic fixings.

    I THINK the only way is to cut them flush to the wall. Apparently really tough nylon?

    They are really tough to pull out, pincers can be used, but as lorraine says cut flush to wall after nipping the head off.
