recently bought a house originally built in 1949. Its just brick and plaster walls, when I try to drill into the walls to put some plugs in and secure some safety gates, I end up with huge messy holes that will only go so deep (about 15 - 20mm).
I have tried 3 different types of drill, tried hammer functions etc, tried going in normal mode and then hammer once through the plaster but I cannot get anything to work for me. I have tried all sorts of drill pieces, cheap one, expensive ones, metal ones, concrete ones, I am out of ideas now.
I just want to put my kids safety gates on the stairs properly, please help!!!
Any advice is very welcome.
