It will be well worth the $20. You'll probably need an extension as well, to get all the way through. Alternative is to drill a ring of 1/4 inch or so holes with a hammer drill and a long masonry bit and then chisel out the waste. It will take a lot longer and will give you a rough sided hole, but will get the job done. HTH, Paul Franklin |

Draw the circle on the brick with a Sharpie. Then drill holes with a
small masonry bit (3/16", 1/4", whatever) all the way around the line. Knock the piece free. Mike |

Single Jack Hammer: A single jack (3- to 4-pound head with short
handle) hammer can be used with a star drill to punch holes in rock. The single jack can also be used to drive bridge spikes, and other uses that are too demanding for a regular claw-hammer, but do not require the heavy duty blows of a sledge. I beleive a single jack was called that because it was used with a single hand, a double jack required two hands...........why they're called "jacks" I don't know cheers Bob |
