Comment on I'm stupid...how do I avoid wires when mounting things to the wall?
count_dongulus@lemmy.world 2 months agoI never have, never needed to, never will. I’ve stripped a couple over the years but they come in boxes of like 100 and I just take it out with a bigger phillips head and use a different one.

Maybe sheetrock is different where we’re both located. I’m in the Netherlands.

Yours’s is probably much more dense/higher quality than the US. They go in like butter with a large phillips head.

I’m in the US and have never once successfully used one of the white screw in anchors. What is the mystical secret?

Lots of pressure and a large phillips head screw driver. Harder to do when it’s above your head, but you gotta put your body into it and they go in no problem.
