What size and type of drill bit do I need to make a hole in external wall for CCTV wires to fit through? Thanks

What I was meaning to ask ask was could a codeless SDS drill be as powerful as coded one Oh thanks for that. That's a hammer drill. Ideally looking for a SDS drill. As I'd be using it for chasing walls and using chisels etc on it. Making holes from external walls to internal. Etc

Thank u so much guys its done now. Appreciate all your advice ! Works like a charm !

So shall I just remove the plug of the extension and connect the 3 wires from the extention cable to the FCU. Would that be OK?

Sorry I meant the FCU which u can see in the pic. It doesn't serve anything atm. I think it might be coming from the sockets.

Hi I'm thinking of putting aa hole in the chimney breast to put an extention through. So I can attach TV through it. Can I just take the plug off the extention and attach the cable direct to the fused box .. instead of taking the plug and plugging into the socket on the other wall.

Very interesting! I know the lads here have gave me some great options. But if I was going through the route of installing a socket. I thought I did have to use a twin and E ?? What other option was there? Secondly what do you mean by visible accessory ? I believe the sockets are already...
