Hi, I am about to install mortice locks on wooden doors made of some good quality teak. All the doors have tenon joints exactly at the recommended height of mortice locks/handles - between 900 MM to 1 M. So, I'll have install the locks little higher. 1) As I cannot touch the tenon joints...

@PrenticeBoyofDerry: thanks for providing reassurance! I've heard nothing but praise for Makita. Makita is not fully established in India and hence, this drill is not available for display. I'll have to order it without actually seeing one. But I guess, the build quality is so good that I don't...

I've found some of the D-handle type rotary hammers to be smaller in length than the pistol-handle type. Of course, the former has more power & weight, and sometimes reduced-vibration technology. Has anyone used these D-type hammers for strictly DIY stuff, and found them to be advantageous...

i deleted them (on purpose) 2 months back... i'll post them tomorrow.

i didn't find any NASA logos and US flags in those ancient paintings or hieroglyphics on the walls of Egyptian pyramids... 8)

you can buy (or better rent for this one-time job) a 'robust' hammer drill to chisel your way through... no? get a cordless, like Makita BHR241RFE or Bosch GBH36VLi.
