Drilling problems into concrete
In article , mo
scribeth thus
I have the feeling to this question maybe to get a SDS drill but here goes
Further to my washing line pulley questio nthe other week I now have my
parts and today I tried to drill into my concrete fence post. My normal
domestic drill on hammer mode wasn;t doing anything.
Whats the solution?
The drill bit wasn't the most expensive but I have a feeling it wouldn't
make much difference either way!
Save up yer pennies or coerce your other half/significant other to fork
out for an SDS drill..
After then you'll wonder just HOW it was you ever managed to get a hole
drilled in any masonry ..
My Makita M2945 IIRC cost 100 quid c/w some decent attachments.. SDS
drills good ones, last and aren't on the scale of things that expensive
either but Once you have one you'll wonder why you didn't get one
before!..
Don't go and buy a cheapie, fork out a few quid extra for something
better..
Best tool I've EVER bought.. ****es all over ordinary hammer drills..
Nuff said....
