    cable clips into brick/concrete etc!

    Quite often I find the (masonary) cable clips will not attach well to the mortar or brick, they either bend or if they do go in they are loose. If this happens I remove the pin from the clip and put a 6 gauge screw through it instead and use a rawl plug, this obviously works well but is time...
