Not 10mm2, that has quite a large flat face and isn't very flexable as I'm sure you are aware. Catch it on the face rather than the rounded edge and you'll drill it...
I like to keep my HSS drills sharp... Maybe I ought to invest in a =A32.99 set of market stall speacials for PB use. Through I think Pauls =
suggestion of lip and spur might be better, masonary and HSS will tend to tear any covering, hopefully the spur would cut it.
What dat?
Otherwise known as "brad point" in the Screwfix book:
"5 Piece Set. Chrome Vanadium with centre points and spurs."
This is a tool for cowboys, right? ;)

Ones that like nice neat holes in wood. They do make a much better edged hole than an HSS drill.

Huh. Reverse the connections at the consumer unit ...

Heh don't laugh about it, I know of one case were an electric board did just that (well they reversed two of the phases actually) after installing a new transformer at a local sub-station on a industrial est. - come Monday morning all hell broke loose at an engineering machine shop...
I'm not sure just how often I need a neat hole in plasterboard? And do they do them in the sizes suitable for the various fixings?
Sharpening the size of HSS drills used for those fixings is easy enough - it's only small ones I can't do.

Missed the ;) did you ?
The tighter the fixing the better, within limits... I find hole size is pretty critcal with PB.
That =A32.99 Screwfix set is 4 5 6 8 and 10mm. I expect you can get larger if required.
