How's this done, when a corded or cordless drill won't fit? I tried an
angle drill, but the lack of hammer action made it pretty useless.

Could you give us a bit more info on the circumstances?


It's to fix some battens to the sides of this opening:

Brick and stone - an old mains hammer drill goes through it with ease.

If you don't mind a lateral slant, how about these two options:

1. Don't use any fixings at all but use interference fitted vertical
battens at the ends to wedge top and bottom horizontal battens, add
further wedged intermediate battens if you like.

2. Make a rectangular frame for the opening and fix it into the sides
using slant drilling, with the drill body outside the opening, the
longer the drill bit, the shallower the angle. No real need to fix the
frame top and bottom.
