drilling into a wall!

[steved101]

does anyone know of any good masonry drill bits that are available? i am trying to drill into my bedroom wall (from the inside)!! but sometimes the drill stops and it seems like it is sticking. then it goes again but is it my drill bits (cheapish ones) or the wall?!! any help much appreciated!

may be its clogged. you should pull the whole drill out every so often to get the brick dust out of the wall

Are we talking about an SDS/SDS+ drill here or a normal drill with a keyed or keyless chuck?

If sds I find irwin bits are of ok quality, but if you want top get some hilti sds bits.

If its a normal chuck type drill, try some hexagonal bits for maximum torque

I've got some Extreme Masonry ones from Dewalt and they do a pretty good job with my cordless combi in brick, however for heavy work I have to whip out the SDS

thanks for all your help.

what drill/bits would you recommend I buy for drilling holes for wc cisterns/wall hung basin fixing plates and radiator brackets? i need a good quality reliable one really. I saw a dewalt drill in screwfix for £80-90ish - it's the popular yellow cordless type. would this be ok?
