Troubleshooting
Fixing spins in the hole.
The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger diameter fixing or filling the hole with an appropriate filler before re-inserting.
Fixing does not sit flush.
Check that the hole depth is sufficient and ensure there is no obstruction. Also, verify that the hammer is used to drive the fixing straight.
Fixing is difficult to hammer in.
The hole may be too small or the wall material is too hard. Check the drill bit size and consider using a more powerful drill or a different fixing type for harder materials.
