Specifications

Which one do I need?

Check the thickness of the board and what it is fixed to, then pick the length that reaches into the support without breaking out of the back.

How to use

1. Check the line of the framing first, and look for hidden pipes or cables.
2. Use a bit of the right size for the Phillips recess; a worn one skips.
3. Let the bugle head sink slightly below the face, no deeper.
4. Work from the middle of the board outwards, so it pulls flat.
