Default Homebase employee: "Your Bosch drill is not a *real* drill.. it is a screwdriver" !?

I bought a Bosch drill a few days ago. (300 Bosch PSR 300 Lithium-Ion
Handy Drill Driver Cat No. 7111552 )



I am trying to attach something to plasterboard. I bought some
"plasplugs" (designed for heavy duty use). On the instructions it says
I need to drill a hole using a 10mm HSS Drill bit.



You are right to find the description misleading. Not what is needed as a
first drill/driver. So to talk Bosch and talk Argos look at 0072564 as an
example of something that will take your 10mm drill.

A 10mm keyless chuck is what you need. Plenty available in the marketplace
from as low as £15. Look at Screwfix for a bigger range.
