looking for a fool proof way of putting in cable clips into a rough cast wall,i try and they either bend or they break,you watch the SKY fitters or ariel fitters and they do them no problem

there is no fool proof way of doing this ....
the best way i found if its for your own house and you wanna put in the effort
is get 1 1/4" screws raw plugs and a drill remove the nail and use the screw
to time consuming to do it all the time but for your own installation its well worth it
good fixing and they end up nice and straight

i know this might sound silly but
use a smaller lighter hammer like a pin hammer (use for puttin panel pins into wood) into the pointing,if you dont have any pointing if its all pebble dash
it should be ok anywhere,ive never had a prob with puttin cable clips into
walls where i am
if that dont work you can use an hilti gun
