I tried one of the weight forward estwing hammer....never again!!! I was using one and bolster to chip back concrete and the face of the hammer chipped off and shot a chunck of it into my index finger middle knuckle on non dominant hand. Went to hospital, doc felt around the knuckle while moving finger and says " are you sure its not a simply a cut?" ....I pulled a magnet out of my pocket and preceeded to attach it to finger, lol 😆 the doc was amazed! After 3 x-rays and 2 surgeries and 6 weeks recovering, I was not impressed as I'm self employed. Get rid of it and get a traditional straight claw estwing. 👍
I don't know what the generic name of them is, but the trade name of Torx or Spax masonry fixings, I find are good for wall mounting heavy items through dot n dab plasterboard and even into medium density or thermalite block. No need for expansion plugs either. Patience and care is needed drilling the initial holes though as the drill bit can sometimes wander, especially on less dense material.
loafer sheffield I think the main idea of these is you won’t damage the plasterboard by pulling it into the void, the metal core stops that from happening
Another great video- thanks for sharing your knowledge - You are like Knarlycarl a plumber that lives in the USA - very good at his trade - have a look at some of his videos
Can I just point out that the person who put those interset hollow wall anchors in (all 10 of them) has not installed them correctly, he hasn't used the setting tool, otherwise you wouldn't be able to pull them out the wall
Defo give them a whirl 👨🏼🔧Loving the steel core thanks PB....... What do think of these also claiming big holds 👍🏻www.screwfix.com/p/gripit-assorted-plasterboard-fixings-32-pcs/6165j
Thanks for the product review PB and really pleased you liked using Corefix on that boiler install, if any plumbers out there want to give these great fixings a go you can purchase via corefixed.com

Used these this weekend to wall mount a TV. Worked very well. Recommended.
Another great video PB! Masterpiece! I like that moment that you not only show the product but show how it works really nice!!!

Valid point, taken. I've already given very serious consideration to checking them out. Cheers!
Nice might pick some of these up .👍
Another mega heavy duty fixing is ‘Rigifix’ also for dot n dab

Would these be any use for fixing directly into thermalite (ie no plasterboard or cavity)? Nothing I try is working at the moment
Great video. How did you this was a cavity wall?
Why skip the screw insertion? Incomplete demo..
That hammer is well wore down!
Patrick Murray I like to use my tools 😀
Great product and great review well presented

@@TheHunterg30 The Estwing Weight Forward hammer. I have one as well, they never really took off.

Howay. Have a think. Maybe go on a course if you need help to figure that out. Good luck. To your future customers.
