    If you are planning on hanging heavy objects on a dot and dab wall I can recommend these. http://buyrigifixonline.co.uk/ I've used them to hang a heavy antique mirror and they are easy to use and very effective

    That X line kit for a tenner is good value. I had one given to me and find most things in it useful. Not only that, but the box is better than most small organisers too.

    I've added a 6" bit holder, hex bits and a pencil in the lid. They stay there if you remember to open it upside down. I often work in friends homes and having this small kit is much easier than sorting out what might be needed.
