Recommendations for drilling into a lintel.
As the subject says. I have some vertical blinds, and some of the fixings
are pulling away. A quick check shows the guy who fitted them just drilled and plugged the plaster! I have ordinary hammer drills, are there any particular types or brands of drill bit that stand up to drilling into concrete lintels better than others? -- The Wanderer That no one understands doesn't make you an artist. |

Normal rotary or percussion drill won't do the job. http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/powertools/sds.htm 2kg SDS looks like this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/23674/...s-Hammer-Drill 5kg SDS looks like this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/58494/...SDS-Plus-Drill You can hire them if you don't want to buy -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk .. |
