Correct rawl plugs?

I'm going into a wood skirting board. Oh yeah I can easily do it by hand of course, but I just wanted to try and use my new drill and screw driver bits as it's more fun and quicker.

err, well... some stuff it's best to put the power tools to one side. Use the right tool for the job etc.

Very true. Sods law though that they supplied a screw I don't have a bit for.

Drill a pilot hole first, then use the correct sized bit. Test the pilot hole size on a spare bit of wood if you're not sure which size.

Don't 'try' driver bits, find the one that looks good, likely a ph1 or ph2 in this case hold it into the screw with your hand and test how well it bites.
