I'm of an age to remember the Rawlplug tool: a sort of masonry
drill in a metal handle that you hammered and rotated to make the
hole. No wonder they had to have big mental asylums in those days!

I still have several, although they belong to my father.
He used them to install central heating around 1960, so
they are for 1/2", 3/4", and 1 1/4" pipe holes.

I used an SDS drill to install mine, although I used them
a number of times before I bought an SDS drill.
