Recommendations for drilling into a lintel.

Aug 21, 2009 1 Replies

As the subject says. I have some vertical blinds, and some of the fixings are pulling away. A quick check shows the guy who fitted them just drilled and plugged the plaster!



I have ordinary hammer drills, are there any particular types or brands of drill bit that stand up to drilling into concrete lintels better than others?



No question, you need an SDS drill. Normal rotary or percussion drill won't do the job.
