I need to drill small holes in my wall above the window to install a curtain pole... The wall is plasterboard and behind that is brick, i have a set of "titanium coated drill bits" and they dont have the point they look more like the second one you showed but theyre a brass colour, would these be safe to use in plasterboard and brick or do i need a different kind of bit?
I think you will be fine with those drill bits. Usually you would use a masonry bit in brick, but the masonry bit could damage the plasterboard. That's why your titanium bits or multi-use bits are a good choice. Once you are through the plasterboard the brick will be pretty tough on your bits. You might dull them. Just go slow when putting pressure on the bit not to go sideways and break it. Good luck.
@@MacJackal :'') thank you. I never had no one teach me any of this and im 23 yo now feel a bit useless not knowing it but, thank you man it means a lot, ill give it a go tmrw and let you know how it goes ! :') thanks again
Or you’ll learn by not being successful in your job or someone’s daddy will be pissed their kid wrecked their tools. Although I’ve seen someone drill 18ga sheetmetal with a spade bit
Thank you for the easy explanation.
Glad I could help!!
Quick and simple answer to my question, without a 20-minute video! Thank you!
I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for the nice comment!
Thanks for the obvious explanation
wood bits can drill aluminum, including spade bits
Start backward with the metal bit, works for drilling countersinks aswell.
Also metal bits allow to widen a hole, the others require jigs.
Great advice! Thanks.
Not sure what you mean when you say "the others require jigs." Which others require jigs for what?
Great video!! 👍👍
Straight & to the point ...pardon the puns! 😋
Hahahaha nice!
pretty much the drill bit point gets flatter the harder the material and the degree of it can get negative for like concrete
That’s a great way to remember it.
Thank you so much

Hey no problem. I've just learned by making lots of mistakes and watching lots of CZcams.@@azimmorganam

Haha, very true! Wow a spade bit, I bet that was entertaining.
can you help me learn how to drill@@MacJackal
7:12 “there is nothing we can do.”
For a second I though you meant the drill bit itself was made out of wood, I’m fucking stupid.
Haha well in your defense I could have worded it better.
None of those are wood drill bits there wood cutting drill bits are still made out of steel
Shut up Jim
Hahaha, I have to say you got me on that one!
Excuse me sir... but you forgot the concrete drill bit
Haha, you are right, turns out there are a lot of different drill bits out there!
Well I used a wood drill bit for a metal safe because the batteries died and I lost the keys and my drill bits broke, I broke 5 of them…..
Oh no! That sounds like an expensive and frustrating day.
Wood drill bits are pointless for DIYers
They are wood bits...not wooden bits!
You got me there.
