Hi all

I was putting up a bracket for our Punchbag today. On advice i got here i used Rawlplugs



Problem is as i was tightening the last bloody one i noticed it was not getting any tighter, turns out it broke in the hole. Now i have a 14mm hole in my wall and missing one fixing on a side.

Am i right in thinking if i undo the bolts then it will mean starting all over again as the bolts cant be put back in? What are my options?

Any help would be great

Cheers

I'd be happy to reuse those in a non-safety critical situation like this. If it was holding up a climbing hold or something maybe not, but this isnt like that.

How did the one come to break?

I didnt think the bolt would re locate in the nut if i took it out.

I have no idea how it broke, after i pulled the bolt out i looked n the hole and the casing was in a few bits, collapsed onto itself.
