    Hello,

    The question is trivial but please help,
    I drill a hole in the wall some brick some concrete on the way, Drill 10, dowels + screws included for this size drill.
    The dowel goes in without a problem while the screw does not... neither with a screwdriver nor by hand. It just goes in very hard it went in maybe 20% I tapped a little with a hammer but even so it does not go all the way in, The screw has a thread at 60%. On the packaging of the screws it says: "PULLER WITH DRILL" so it is definitely screwed in and it's a set so it's a waste that the pins are too narrow. It can drill larger holes but since on the package I have drawn a drill bit 10 is.... This is stupidity
    Please help. :cry: .

    Drill in hand and ream a little but not too much because the pin will spin.
    Good luck.

    Show a photo of both the dowel and the screw. A good quality screw should screw in without a problem - or even break off when the breakaway torque is exceeded, if the dowel hole is too tight.

    If it's brick and concrete then twist a little more with this drill 10 and it will get looser. If you correct with the 11 you may need a second hole next to it later....

    The threads in this screw are a little too sharp.

    This is a set screw + pin.

    By any chance, isn't this a hollow peg?

    This is a peg, for hollow spaces. The screw is to attract its end and flare the middle part. It can do as a strut from poverty, but there are more appropriate ones for that. Sharp threads in the screw should make it easier for the screw to cut into the stud. So, author - you're doing such a trivial thing as driving a screw wrong.

    And in general, I think it is not a screw, but a screw :D .

    Grease the screw if only with margarine and it will go.

    God you are. Where's the difference and what's the difference?
    This is a universal caster, it needs by design a looser hole - so that either a drill 10 and "bending" sideways, or "11" - otherwise the thread will not pull the screw. In addition, you will not hang anything heavy on it.

    Well a cliché but not for someone who has no green...
    the more so that they write drill bit 10 it is about drill bit 11 and not drill bit 10, although it is clearly written 10...
    Well then I will think of something
    thx

    Listen, drill "10" then insert the screw, you need to give it a healthy tap with a hammer, so that it will penetrate the dowel - this last part of solid plastic. Then with a screwdriver you just tighten it - it is important that the hole is not deeper than the length of the plastic dowel.

    The best thing to do is return it to the store where you bought it and look for others that vmaja a sharp bolt.

    By eye you can see that the screw is too long relative to the dowel, typical, drill a deeper hole, or buy a shorter screw.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing difficulty inserting a screw into a wall stud after drilling a hole. The user reports that while the dowel fits well, the screw does not go in easily, even when tapped with a hammer. Various responses suggest potential solutions, including reaming the hole slightly larger, ensuring the screw is appropriate for the dowel, and checking if the screw threads are too sharp. Some participants recommend using a larger drill bit (11mm instead of 10mm) to create a looser fit, while others suggest greasing the screw to facilitate insertion. The conversation also touches on the distinction between screws and dowels, with some humor about the complexity of the issue.
