| masionary drill
Does anyone fancy comming to my house and putting two outside security lights up?
I dont have a drill with the umff to drill into the wall and don't really want to buy one for 6 holes.
I want both wires to come directly into the house upstairs rather then trapes about. Also need 2 holes doing for a garden gate.
Any takers ???
In Milton keynes

| Dude how hard is your house? LOL Most basic hammer drills and a long drill bit should do the job. Hell most of the houses I work in the brickwork is so soft I dont even need hammer lol

| Normal HSS drills get blunt in no time as the brick even if soft acts as a grinder, down here in London you could buy these bits quite cheap, the one he wants is about atleast 1/2 inch dia to pass the cable through a brick wall at least 9 to 10 inches thick, so thye length of the drill has to be about 10" to a foot long! I have one (Massonary with tungstone carbide tip)
You can use normal HSS drills andf get away inn soft bricks if its onlyb a 1/4" hole for a raw plug for hooking a screw etc, for a 9 or 10" depth an HSS drill won't do and you don't get many HSS drills in that length any way, it would be a special buy in HSS, but most builders m,erchants stock these long massonary drills, for about £3.00
