how do you choose the correct drill bit size for wall plugs? should choose 2mm smaller drill bit?

i tend to drill too big for the long wall plugs+screw set used to hang wall cabinets.

Just measure the diameter of the wall plug. When you buy the wall plug, it have label show what is the diameter. Or ask the shop bos.

When do the drilling, hold the drill straight as possible. Don't swing 360deg as you will korek the hole bigger.

Is it possible to drill out an iron nail head and how do I do it safely?
I want to leave the rest of the nail in the wood.
*
If your nail is too small, that is difficult to drill it out. Can use a drill bit same diameter as the nail, grind flat the tip and knock the nail out.

Mostly I can drill a screw smaller size 2mm out. Than tap back the hole. For small pin, I use same size pin to knock it out.

I tried drilling earlier but the drill bit won't "eat" into the nail.
It just keeps spinning on the nail head top.
The nail diameter is about 4mm.
*
Is the nail head broken already? If haven't, use a nail puller to pull out.

If broken, the drill bit should be able to drill the nail a hole. Or you using concrete nail? Use smaller drill bit like 3mm and below. Which have sharper angle. Check your drill bit head got worn off or not.

Even there are quite some bargains at Giant Store under their own brand name. Cordless drills, cordless screwdrivers, jig saws as low as Rm60 can be had.

IMO it depends on the buyers requirements really, if one is not that picky any othese low cost equipment can do the basic home repairs without any issues.

I won't buy this kind of tool. Too dangerous to use for us heavy user.

jeff, hehehe clean after i used it so far, plus havent properly abused yet. probably just went tru 20 x 6mm holes only and i am feeling of selling this one off without any drill bit for rm530, any takers?????. lol

jinxxx, actually i will used the tile bit with with bnd cd70k drill, i also have diamond bits, but i tried it, and will simply run and scratch on tiles if you get what i mean. i think this one should be easier to use. that why i am looking wolf craft attachment.

ozak, guess collection tools is my new hobby. jkjk  icon_rolleyes.gif

actually i am buying this tools to use for my upcoming new house wiring. i found fl wiring person that is willing to do my house for rm100 perday but he does not have proper equipment for conceal wiring. So my next toy will be bosch diamond cutter and skil laser leveller. each item is rm300 if i am not mistaken.  blush.gif

You are really good customer. Provided tool somemore for workers. thumbup.gif

I have many tools too. Like you, when DIY renovate, I go and get a tool to finish up the job. Once done the renovate, I realise I have many tools lying around. rclxub.gif Don't suprise if I tell you, I go and get a chainsaw to cut a tree and wood. Get a wood saw blade to cut some wood trust, get a orbiter sand tool just for trying out DIY plaster ceiling. And many more. Than keep in my store room for many many yrs till now. tongue.gif

I an gonna start drilling my walls to install many many things.
But the problem is that the guy that did my wiring and piping run away already after renovation  vmad.gif
and I am left with no piping diagram on where the pipes or wiring are inside the walls.  doh.gif
Thought of getting a something like this

Where to rent this?? buying is just too pricey.

Any other suggestion on how to avoid drilling in to pipes and wires hidden behind the wall?
*
No need this kind of tool lah. Just drill. The chance to kena the wire in the wall is very very less. Just follow this rule.

1) don't drill above or below the wall light in straight line.
2) don't drill below the socket in straight line.
3) don't drill above the switch light in straight line.

I drill and instal DIY for my home. Never kena anything in the wall. Just follow this rule.

For pipe, it is about the same. Pipe is straight too and bend out when joint to tap. Most of the piping is below and not running above your basin level. So don't drill below tap. Don't drill above and below the stop kok in straight line.

if im not mistaken..

electrical always comes down from ceiling in straight line..

and for lighting point dont drill horizontal/vertical to the wall

water piping is from the bottom usually follow the same rules as electrical in some sense
*
electrical wire to socket mostly from below. As the socket place 1ft up from floor. So it is kind of waste the wire lenght to lay from ceiling down. For wall light, yes. It come down from ceiling.

Light switch wire mostly is from top. Cause the wire is to the ceiling light.

So far I haven't see any wire lay horizontol. Unless the socket is loop very near.

Why you have very less kena the wire when drill is, if the wire lay inside the conduit, when the drill bit kena the wire, the wire will move away. Cause the drill bit is rotate at high speed and the wire is round with flexibility. Unless no room for the wire move.

For piping, mostly run horizontol from tap to tap to toilet bow to shower. Just watch carefully around the height of the toliet bow inlet water. And the height of the inlet hole for sink tap. Piping don't bend up or down alot as it require many elbow and cost $. And it cause the pressure low too.

Mr. DIY only give 3 day warranty for power tools!!!

Might as well don't give warranty at all. shakehead.gif

The warranty is telling me that the manufacturing don't have confident on their tools product. They just copy and produce using cheap and inferior material. You will ask why so short time warranty. Std answer is cheap and spoil just throw it away.

I stay away from this kind of tools because mainly of safety reason. From injury till electric shock.

Buying a drill for wall drilling, makesure it above 400W. And have hammering and drilling function switch. If the drill is below 400W, you will have difficult drilling a bigger hole of red brick wall. And don't hope to drill concrete wall at all.

NiCD 1.5AH? Don't seem like a good power battery. I thaught nowaday all is lithium with fast charger and powerfull.


Jigsaw cannot cut the tiles. You need diamond cutter.

I use jigsaw before. If not mistaken, there is only 2 kind of blade. Metal saw or wood saw blade. The jigsaw speed is too slow to cut a tiles.

Yup. Good buy for me. I see no different between Li-ion & Ni-cd besides size & no memory effect.  hmm.gif

NiCd need longer charging time compare Li-ion. My bocsh cordless Li-ion need about 30min charge and I can get back to work. The Li-ion battery size is small

NiCd 12v 1.5ah doesn't seem like give high power for the drill. With such a big size battery, why not pack more Ah.

Compare the bosch battery where bosch is Li-ion 10.8V, 1.3ah give out 14watt with 30min charge. Small in size.

NiCd 12V 1.5ah give out 18watt. big battery and longer charge. Look not powerfull and efficeincy.
