  • Helen shows how to hang a picture on a brick wall.
    She goes through what you'll need to complete this task, including how to find the right size screw and wall plug. If you are not yet confident using a drill, this is the perfect tutorial to start with.
    WHAT IS POWER TOOLS?
    Power Tools is a series of household DIY videos made by women, for women.
    These fun, approachable and concise videos give instructions on basic DIY tasks like changing a lightbulb, smashing a window, painting a wall and using a drill.
    The videos are part of a project by award-winning arts and social justice organisation Idle Women and were all made in St Helens, Merseyside, UK.

    Probably the best instructional video I've seen , so good at explaining everything and at a good pace to allow time to take in the information.
    Thankyou I was looking to learn this to put up something at my nans for her :)

    This is brilliant! Extremely clear explanation at just the right pace for me. The masking tape tip was incredibly useful!

  • @alexkapinga2024

    Very good and informative. As a former mechanical engineer I still found this useful as I have never gone into a brick wall before. (until later on when my masonary drill bits get delivered) 😁😎

    I came across this channel because I was looking to do a simply DIY install of some racks and maybe even curtain bars. I didn't grow up in a stable home or with parents/people that were in a place to teach me these things so never learned any of this and want to just overcome that and become more handy myself. I'm so glad I found this channel - youtube is a great resource but I find it a bit intimidating sometimes being a young and extremely inexperienced woman trying to crack into this stuff!! Thank you!!

  • @sarahprosecco
    @sarahprosecco Před 8 měsíci

    Best video I've watched thank you so so much for such a clear and detailed explanation. (Especially that masking tape tip!) Most other videos are for dry wall.
    I'm so sick of asking and waiting for multiple men (dad, uncle, good friends) to just help me put up a couple of f-ing curtain poles so i can have some privacy for the past 2 ½ f-ing years 🙄 nobody will explain to me how do it myself when I've asked to borrow the tools 'oh you'll probably need a hammer drill etc. I'll do it for you.'
    ...and this is how f-ing easy it is!? 🙄 apologies for the f-ing. I'm livid. There are holes being drilled all over my flat this weekend!

    Thank you so much. I have a drill and had difficulty using it on a brick wall. I'm going to try again tomorrow-putting up a a basic curtain rail in my daughter's bedroom. I feel so empowered and excited... Even learnt some new skills. Thank you, this means so much to me as a single mother and showing my daughters they can do basic DIY!!! I was going to pay a handy man to do it, but I can do it myself.... now 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 please do more tutorials for those who lack confidence

    Excellent video Helen. I used an ordinary drill to do this but, despite a lot of effort and changing bits, was only able to drill a couple of holes less than 1 inch in depth. Found out afterwards I need a drill with hammer capacity. Wish I'd seen your video before I bought the drill.
