Review on 🔨 Masonry Drill for Brick, Concrete Blocks, and Masonry by Kirk Womack

Task: Move my dryer vent down through a wall of concrete blocks lined with solid brick and about 11.5 to 12 inches thick. Difficulty level: Fairly advanced DIY with power tools. I've never done that. Solution: This bit with adapter [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DHJK9JS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1] and 9 A Chicago Electric 1/2" D-handle drill bit. This is a rotary drill, NOT a hammer drill. I started by drilling a 1/4" hole from the inside so I knew exactly where to drill from the outside. It also allowed me to place the hole in the center of the cavity in the concrete block, making drilling faster and easier. 4 inch bit present to start it. I already had a 4.125" hole saw. You may need to buy one or maybe a pilot bit adapter. I temporarily attached the wood jig to the brick with a few twists. I started drilling very carefully, using a torpedo from time to time -Level and poured a little water on it - I don't know if that made a difference or not. a toy. So I tried to be very careful. Regardless of experience, the best teacher. I only have this particular drill once used (although all day mixing lots of bags of grout in a bucket. I drove it so hard it smoked profusely and it still works great.) The drill is variable speed so pay close attention when i felt it start to stick i slowed down or stopped it grope my way but! it starts to hang i pull the trigger its still running at full speed he fell out d in a hole and fell to the ground, still writhing like a wounded snake, until I yanked the cork out. It could be worse. I have a small bruise on a forearm and a large bruise on the outside of an arm with mild pain in the wrist holding the handle. i.e. I consider myself lucky. Be careful! Do not damage the house, drill or drill. He broke the wooden template in half. It twisted and bent the adapter quite a bit (!), but I managed to straighten it enough to finish without further problems. Looking at this blocking trigger, I went through the brick (it was the slowest) and into the first side of the concrete block. I then pulled the drill out and knocked the brick down giving me more depth/room for the drill and so I drilled deeper than the 9 inch drill bit length. I hope I explained that clearly. Then finish the hole. Result: This bit worked perfectly. Looks like there's more life in there too. It took about 30 minutes including binding. It requires a bit of muscle power, but not that bad. Conclusion - many thumbs up!
