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 ?

just do the painting lol.

Are you sure hubby didn't put a blunt drill in just to wind you up?
Either that or you hit something really hard. What are you drilling?
brick, stone ?? Clue = what colour dust came out of the hole?
A little more info would be helpful.

Newish looking drill bit The colour is osme kind og dirty grey
looking dust ?

Is it a masonry drill bit though?

I double checked its a multipurpose drill bit by bosch which says it can
drill through wood plastic brick etc and is silver and has a blueband
going around the whole of it making it look very cute.
