  • What the beefiest wall plug I should be using with an M5 screw? Brown/8mm feels about right but I can't seem to dig up a definitive answer.

    It's for shelving that I'll probably be loading hideously over spec*. Each upright sits on 3 of these cleats so I don't think a shield bolt is an option.

    Haven't actually checked the maximum loading but it'll be carrying some amount of vinyl and hi-fi equipment.

  • Depends what it’s going into, for brick or concrete I like the smallest (usually red) plugs, 5.5mm hole and 5x50 screws. Bigger hole and plug seems like a waste of time, it’ll only be looser.

    You do get M5 shield anchors though, just put a countersunk bolt in instead of the hex head.
