You can buy masonary type clips which are a helluva lot stronger - the
normal clips are used for fixing to timber etc
Sorry im not sure where you can buy them from tho - I *think* mine were
from wickes !?!

Subject: [ukha_d] Question for installer types...
Is there some trick to getting coax size (6-7mm) cable clips to go into
a wall without the nail buckling and bending?
Either the cement in my walls has added unobtanium, I'm using the wrong
sort of clips (standard ones from TLC), or I'm doing something
drastically wrong!
About 1 in 3 clips went in vaguely cleanly. The deck at the back of the
house is now strewn with the mutilated remains of the other 2/3rds of
the clips I used - and I only managed to put up 2 cable runs of about
5-10m each due to the time it was taking to get the darned thing to
cling to the wall! Bah.
Maybe I need a bigger hammer (:*) or maybe there's some sort of powered
cable clipper you're all using...? (Can an air nailer do that?)
