Swmbo wanted me to put up some tiebacks for our new curtains. Two lots of curtains, hence four tieback hooks. Simple enough job - drill into wall with masonary bit (small size first) and cordless on hammer setting. Got the drill bit as square as I could to the wall. Stuck in wall plug and screwed in the tieback hook.
The hooks have a base that's about the size of a 1p coin. Most of them were near enough flush (you could get a sheet of A4 paper under the bottom of the hook but the top was against the wall). One of them you could probably get a fingernail underneath, which SWMBO wasn't happy about.
I ended up redrilling a little bit up and wrapping some masking tape around the wall plug. Managed to get a straight fit.
Any tips for drilling more square? Or any recommended jigs or tools?
