bennynoneck Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I have a Hitachi SDS which should be up to the job. I'll probably end up going through the bloody roof knowing me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) makita 24v sds  Yup same here with a massive drill bit.  Finding cavities bridged at the top a lot now though, (houses approx 2000 onwards?) with thick cement laid onto a plastic former.  That said if you're expecting it, one of the benefits of a long drill, just keep on going...

RichL Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Replicate the angle of the roof as a guide and you shouldnt go far wrong. Quote Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
