Hi Guys
I need advice on the best way to drill into hard bricks.
I have a black & Decker 550w hammer drill and am using a newly bought bosch 6mm drill bit. I am drilling at about shoulder height to put up a shelf and I can not drill far enough into the wall to fit the rawplugs or screws in. It has happened on 3 holes now. I've drilled a shelf further down the wall and I had a bit of trouble on one or two holes but nothing like this.
I don't know if it's because it's too high and I can't get enough pressure or if it is just that i'm getting really hard bricks, or is the drill not powerful enough? What is the best way to drill into victorian bricks?
Any help greatly appreciated.
