What is missing? -- /人 ‿‿ 人\ 苦情処理係 10:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Multi purpose dowel
 Comment There are many kinds of wall plugs, but I think that for most kinds (at least the ones i use at home :-)) there is an additional point in the fixture - that as you continue turning the screw the plug is contracting forming a bulge, which further helps fix it in the wall. I think the animation could be improved by adding that aspect of the process. --Slaunger (talk) 11:25, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment You are speaking of a different type of dowel and therefore should be made another animation, as it works different. -- smial (talk) 12:17, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Ah, yes. But in that case I really think the animation should show more clearly that a tight fit in the hole is typically needed for this kind of wall plug, as otherwise it will simply not mount properly as noted by Sting and Prolineserver below. It is a very illustrative and instructive photo montage of the multipurpose plug you have there by the way, smial. --Slaunger (talk) 15:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment And also I cannot see when the plug is expanding due to the entrance of the screw...--Llorenzi (talk) 14:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
