Trouble is, I cannot drill into these posts to screw in the cross
battens. Invariably I get in half inch or so, hit a stone, then the
drill rapdily goes blunt, and goes no further.
SDS drill with diamond bit?


SDS with a normal masonry bit. Done it loads of times.


No being picky, but why is a SDS drill with a normal masonry bit, better
than a normal hammer drill with the same bit?
Vibrates/hammers more, or something else?
Thanks
Alan.
