SiCaln Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 are u using a masonry drill piece? because if u are theyr designed for brick work etc, you would need one for metal and dont use the hammer setting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbodreams Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 yeh masonry one, looks like another trip to b and q! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
