    Any lady who does DIY deserves a like in my book. Love the Irish accent too.

      She looks like Denis Leary though. He too is Irish.

    I've spent the last half an hour looking for a video to show me how to do exactly this. Thank you for providing useful, accurate, entertaining information.

    Thank you for this video. I love that I didn't have to buy a special bit and used what I already had at home. It worked perfect.

  • @jacquirozdoba7594
    @jacquirozdoba7594 Před 3 lety +8

    Thank you. I looked at other manly advice that implied I needed to buy 2 or 3 other specialist pieces, put beefy strength behind the drill and grow another hand! This was simply explained and has inspired confidence. Great!

    I am so nervous about getting it wrong, tomorrow I shall go get a glass/tile bit. Thanks for posting and giving confidence to those who lack it.

    Excellent video, im a big burly man and ive never in my 40years ever drilled into tiles, but i have to put up a new shower curtain rail onto a tiled wall, excellent clear info in this vid, i dont care how old the vid, its awesome, thanks alot.

    Exactly what I needed and so confidence inspiring

  • @johnbond8442
    @johnbond8442 Před 5 lety +4

    I found the masking tape advice really helpful. However, I did try the wood drill bit to start off the process and it didn't really have much impact. I switched to a masonry bit and it worked much better. All in all, great advice, simple and clear instructions. Given the right tools and the right advice, I can tackle most handwork, and this video certainly helped. .

    I have a pair of safety flip flops like those myself. They're great when carrying heavy objects, welding or even grinding!

    Excellent and in very plain language - just going to do mine now!

  • @bernicewood8476
    @bernicewood8476 Před 8 lety +4

    Come back to this every time I have to drill a tile. I do remember how to do it (and yes I have the special tile bits) , but she gives me the confidence to break through the fear of cracking a tile (Haven't yet :) ).

    • @tobe3940
      @tobe3940 Před 2 lety

      I so agree! I watched it now and I know I have to come back and rewatch it just before I want to drill my tiles. Tiles are frighteningly fragile and delicate when it comes to drilling.

  • @monstertruckess
    @monstertruckess Před 5 lety +2

    congrats to those men being able to watch this and not comment something negative on it. The other videos also don't show safety goggles: no one mentions it. I think lots of men have the feeling they lost control over their last bit of self-worth when women went off and got stuff done without their permission. This is how they retaliate.. by putting sexist and negative comments on social media. Sad lot.

    • @candmcassells

    Superb! Thank you so much for the helpful informative guide! I can just hope that I manage to perform as perfect as you did without shattering my tiles. Best vid on the topic from the many many other ones I've seen.
    P.s.: Great to see the younger generation of ladies now not limiting themselves and not overlooking tools and technical work and enjoying having their toolboxes. Rock on! =3

    You should push the rawl plugs in further so as to avoid the tile cracking when you tighten the screw up, the rawl plug will expand and can crack the tile. But good to see a helpful tutorial

  • @dechughes9909
    @dechughes9909 Před 4 měsíci

    Great video. The only thing I would add is to put a rubber ring around the base of the drill bit. This will prevent the drill chuck from cracking the tile (3:11) on the video.

  • @Surreyredneck
    @Surreyredneck Před 10 lety +9

    Don't push so hard! let the drill do the work. She almost put he drill through the wall @ 3:11

  • @cattaraugustonawanda4426
    @cattaraugustonawanda4426 Před 2 lety +1

    You only need one drill a drill bit meant for tile like a very pointed Bosch masonry bit or similar. Small piece of tape to mark the spot on. Pen to mark the location. Mark the location. Light hammer. Using the bit only place the point where you want the hole and using a hammer, lightly tap the drill bit as you slowly rotate it by hand. This creates a tiny crater to start the drill bit in. Place the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten. Place the bit point in the crater and drill the hole. Remove the bit of tape and you are done. The tiny crater is key to maintaining the hole location. Tape alone isn't a great solution.

    Hi, when I drill into the bathroom tile the drill won't go any further after a few mm deep and I've followed this tutorial to the letter. What is going wrong??? I drilled perfectly for 2/4 holes but the other two I need are being stubborn

  • @TheMrskydog
    @TheMrskydog Před 7 lety

    @ 4:20 you mentioned "I should go get a towel now to make sure it works" when I installed one of those, I never really knew if it worked because I never even put a towel on it. by the way, you look sexy handling that powerful drill.

  • @stormbringer67
    @stormbringer67 Před rokem

    What is behind the tiles? Drywall? I am told that if the tiles are on concrete you have to use a diamond drill. Any thoughts about that?

  • @nevmcc3884
    @nevmcc3884 Před 4 lety +2

    The plug should be pushed past the tile otherwise tightening a tapered screw can crack the tile.
