I thought I'd grab partners drill and have a go at putting my pan rack
thingy up. OK its a normal drill, and I put in a masonary bit, drilled
in and it went ok for about 1.5 inches then it was like mutant rock!!!
It would not budge!! .. SO I put it on hammer action and it chipped
away a little more but not no where near enough to put a raw plug in
as per instructions saying. PArtner is too busy laughing at my attemtp
to get a straight answer out of him, I think he passed oput from
laughter for some reason lol... I did ask him for months ot put it up
but hes has not.

Any ideas what I''m doing wrong ?

... be gentle am a bit wet behind the ears with DIY I usually just
do the painting lol.

(this is hubbys computer so my names Laura)

Laura,

I was making no assumptions... :-)

1 Is the drill going clockwise? (I.e. not in reverse.)

2 Are you pushing the drill against the wall, firmly?

3 Are you sure you are not trying to drill into something like metal
conduit, or a gas or water pipe?

4 Has Peter got an SDS drill somewhere?
