I often think the "protection" issue is a load of ********.
After all, the only protection that would actually protect would be
steel conduit.
All this plastic/thin metal tacky stuff won't protect against an
electric drill.


Steel conduit won't protect you from a Bosch multi-material drill.
They go through steel easier than the brick/block.

However conduit should be earthed and stop you getting shocked.


Den .. would you really be going into brick and or masonry with a drill
capable of drilling steel and do you really have metal cutting masonry
bits;?..


Why not?
They drill masonry easily without needing to turn on hammer and hence
make the drill last longer.
