Why do you think that is?I just watched most of the video.
He didn’t need to test the plugs grip. It was obvious that the red plugs have more grip than brown if screw is heavy gauge for the red plug.
We all know this when we try to use a hand screwdriver on heavy screws in red plugs.
I see a lot of plumbers and electricians use mainly red plugs.
Why do you think that is?
One thing annoys me about plugs is most of them are very short and it is silly when you want to use a 50mm or longer screw when the plugs are little more than 30mm.
5.5mm for red
7mm for brown
8-10s for reds unless hard brick (more likely to snap / crack the brick with a 10 screw)
10-12 for brown
around an inch setting depth for the plug
Snapped a the odd screw but never cracked a brick
Yes they are great. Used them on Hollow and Solid walls.Best plugs are Fischer’s in my opinion
