For the 8 x 100mm Forgefix Hammer Fixing, an 8mm diameter drill bit is generally recommended for solid masonry substrates.
No, this fixing is designed for solid masonry substrates like concrete and brickwork. It will not provide adequate support in drywall or plasterboard.
Through fixing means the anchor passes through the item being fixed and into the substrate behind it, eliminating the need to mark and re-position the item separately.
The screw head is Pozidrive compatible, allowing you to use a suitable screwdriver to back the fixing out of the substrate.
The grey nylon plug provides the expansion and grip within the substrate, while the zinc yellow passivated screw nail offers corrosion resistance for the visible metal component.
While the zinc yellow passivation offers some corrosion resistance, it is best suited for dry indoor applications or where exposure to moisture is minimal. For harsh outdoor environments, consider fixings with higher corrosion protection.
Ensure the pilot hole is drilled perpendicular to the surface and is the correct diameter. Realign the fixing before hammering.
Check that the pilot hole was drilled to the correct depth and diameter for the fixing. Ensure the substrate is solid and not crumbling. Try a slightly larger pilot hole if the substrate is very dense.
Ensure the hammer strikes are direct and controlled. If the head is significantly damaged, the fixing may be difficult to remove; consider carefully breaking it off if necessary and using a new fixing.
Ensure you are using the correct type (Pozidrive) and size of screwdriver bit (PZ2 is common). Apply firm downward pressure while turning. If it is seized, try applying a penetrating oil and waiting a few minutes.

Care:
These fixings are generally maintenance-free once installed. Protect from excessive moisture in storage to prevent premature corrosion of the screw nail. Ensure the substrate is sound before installation.
