Hi,
I had a quick look to see if i could find this in a previous thread or in
a
FAQ, but couldn't find it, so apologies as I'm sure it's a regular!
I have limited tools available and i need (the nagging is getting
unbearable!) to drill a number of holes above a window which seems to use
a
concrete lintel.
My basic B&D hammer drill just doesn't seem to have the guts to make any
impression on the concrete. What bit should i be using and are there any
other tips you could give this frustrated DIY newbie?!
Many TIA,
Jon H
This is a perfect justification for you to buy an SDS drill.
Decent ones start at about £90 for a Bosch or slightly more for a
DeWalt or Makita.
Can someone tell me the difference between a standard drill and a SDS drill.
I would hazard a guess that the motor is stronger. Can these drills be used
in the same way as a standard drill?
cheers
Steven.
