Thanks skotl and taz. If you look to the first page you'll see that I did acknowledge the suggestion and that I'd try to get the bits. That's seems to have been missed by the antagonists. I'm new to this forum and am very pleased with all the help and suggestions, I thought I'd be lucky...

Don't say that! :lol: It was also suggested that I may have difficulties with the plug not gripping in the mortar. I couldn't line all the holes up with the cement so I thought I'd give it a bash with the brick. The money I spent on that hose and reel it'll remain there forever an ornament...

Heheh. Thanks, what a difference the bit made. Had a bit of a faf with one screw, I must've drilled at an angle or something, got there in the end though. As I said, shelves next, so standby for some remedial questioning on that. :|

I had another go at drilling the holes for the bracket this morning. I used a 3mm bit then a 7mm one. My ex neighbour gave me the bits they are Joran Denmark ones. What a difference from my first attempt, it was done in no time. Thanks for all the help and advice. Next job...

I've made good use of the board settings now. Its just a shame I can't exclude from the thread for everyone. Thanks for all the help. Hopefully it will stop raining one day and I can get stuck in.

Thanks, yeah you're right they can be ignored, it's for the best. I'll be in town next week and will as you say buy a decent bit. Hopefully there should be some improvement. Cheers.

Bloody hell. Those SDS drills are something else. :D

Thanks for the heads up about the hilti bit and drill. Would an SDS bit fit in a combi chuck?

I'm impressed that my posts are the most useless drivel you've heard in all your life. I'm not trying to wind anyone up. I'm certainly taking on all the pointers and suggestions I've received. I've been nothing less than honest in my posts and have clearly stated that I'm not a DIYer...

Thanks, that's understood. I can get a loan of a drill for the job. I think I'll be sticking to woodwork etc for this drill

When you buy things like this the people that make them assume that you are an experienced diyer or an artisan. There is a bit of cardboard sleeve that encases the drill case and it tells you the contents but not where they are. I haven't a clue what most of the things in there are. I know a...

Only a 6.5mm, that was the biggest in the accessory kit it came with. I tried that to see if it was any better than the £1.20 bit I got from local hardware store before it closed. It made no difference. I could try a 4/5 tomorrow but its still the same brick it needs to cut through, no? I...

As I said earlier, even if the bit set is poor, surely it should still be able to bore a hole. As it was designed to do? I am a bit annoyed at having spent a fair amount of cash for my drill not to be able to drill into brick strikes me as mental. But as I said also, what do I know about diy...

I don't want to make you all sick but I appreciate all the replies/suggestions.

Yes its on hammer setting. You can hear and feel it hammer, the torque is at maximum too.
