  • do I need a better one (I suspect so).

    Unless you are doing really wild shit (like putting a cat flap through a solid wall) then I suspect you just need new / better bits if your current drill is struggling to get through masonry to hang a picture frame or some shelves.

  • Maybe that's the issue, or it may just be the actual walls.
    Hate to blame the tools but one of my walls is just a nightmare to drill into with dry and crumbly stone filled bricks which result in any hole crumbling to twice its intended size.

  • Still, the job would be easier with a better tool. A dedicated SDS drill will make the whole process quicker and more straightforward.

    The bad workmen blame their tools adage is annoying for several reasons:

    1. Bad tools exist.
    2. The wrong tool for the job exists.
    3. Good workmen may still blame their tools.
