A rock-dowel has a dowel shank has a diameter of about 20-22 mm, and a threaded end at the head or proximal end of the dowel. Three groups of projecting mixing vanes are spaced along the shank. A first group of vanes at the tip project at least 2.5 mm and preferably no more than 4 mm from the shank. The second group of vanes which project from the shank by a lesser degree than the first group, are defined in a central portion of the shank spaced from the first group. The third group of vanes which project from the shank by a lesser degree than the second group, are defined adjacent the threaded portion of the shank spaced from the second group. In use when inserted into a pre-drilled hole containing a two-part encapsulating resin and spun, the rock-dowel can thoroughly mix the two part resin encapsulating resin and force the resin casings into the back of the pre-drilled hole. In particular, the vanes are designed to mix the resin in three stages, the first stage is at the tip of the dowel and these projections are the largest and designed to not only mix the two resins but create a very large "spin diameter" within the pre-drilled hole so that the spinning dowel is presenting to the resin capsule a much larger diameter enabling the two separate capsule casings to be broken. Also disclosed is a nut made from a plastics material defining a first, typically relatively wider, barrel portion and a second, typically relatively narrower, nut portion, the second portion defining a nut section for engagement with a socket, wherein an area of weakness is provided between the first and second portions such that the second portion breaks from the first portion when a particular torque value is applied to the nut, the predetermined torque value being less than the breaking torque of the dowel.
