What is the simple and easiest way to drill hole to fix something on cement wall?

If using drill to drill the hole, take time. Ada something like bomb gun?

nail gun

drill and wall plug.

Use Rotary Hammer Drill

if use impact drill will drill until midnight

Double sided tape

ask ai

make sure you use the proper drill bit.

rotary hammer drill is damn powerful yo. I bought a relatively cheap wireless china brand for RM200+ at lazada and was surprised at how powerful it is. But it only last me 1 year old plus. Now (bought it maybe 4 years ago) I can still use it, but have to take the battery out and in again every few seconds when I drill inside a wall, else it will just not run. At first I thought it's battery issue, but after changed a new battery the problem still persists. I asked chatgpt about it and it said it's common problem with the chips inside cheap drill. So if you guys have more money, just buy original makita brand. it will last you several years without any problem

Bought a nail gun from shopee a few years ago. Used only a few times and now a nail is stucked inside it. Scared to force it outside since there's some sort of gunpowder attached to the nail. Turns out everytime after we use it, we need to clean it properly using some sort of oil machine right? if not it easily becomes rusted and when you put the nail inside it, it will stuck

how much is makita one?

i heard makita also got fake one right?

Bought one 2 years ago, never service with lube before.

Regularly use for the first few weeks to DIY stuff, then left it lying until need to use again last month. One of the nail still inserted in the nozzle (forgot to remove), can still pump out.

Only thing I did was use the brush to clean the nozzle from residue powder.

buy corded Rotary Hammer Drill

no brand around rm8x-1xx

branded like bosch makita around rm4xx-6xx

if occasionally use jus buy no brand.

corded Rotary Hammer Drill is more powerful than cordless and less hassle worry the battery need replacement after year of uses

hammer drill.

depends on the weight of the object you need the wall to hold.

some application don't need to drill holes, some walls cannot be drilled.

Whatever u do don't use the impact type one. Last time limpek purposely take off day wan pasanf shelf. Drill whole day, until bit oso haus, need go buy new and drill till evening. Then need take next day off oso

cement wall?......tos grey concrete brick wall?......use rotary drill so much easy lo.......if use normal drill (even with hammer option) u will drill till the drill head botak lo

cheap rotary drill rm1xx-200 can get dy.

occasionally only

so no brand?

Double sided tape

Mr DIY Nano Tape.

Buy Bosch rotary hammer cordless drill, I can safely say it’s one life time purchase if not heavy use like just diy for home fixtures.

The one Pro GBH180 LI, I have dy 12 years, still working fine.

Don’t buy cheap ones

how about GSB120?

Dont forget to use the right drill bit!

Bought china wately hammer drill. Served me well for occasional job. Drill into masonry like butter.

I have gsb 180
Turn out if your wall concrete really high grade then cannot drill one

Need to use rotary hammer, if I were to buy buy again I would just buy cheap wired rotary hammer

Dynamite.

Nail gun is the easiest but need to be careful, make sure you use eye protection, else you could go blind if something went wrong.

Cordless rotary hammer if you got budget if limited budget then get a wired one with cable extension.

If you know what inside your walls, eg it's not concrete, just bricks then you can get away normal cordless drill with hammer function. But it took longer to even drill even one hole, you have many holes to drill then avoid choosing cordless drill

GSB120 only for light use, can drill hole on cement but very slow and drain the battery fast

ori one nearly 1k I think. Yup got plenty of fakes


Wow so lucky you.. i always use the provided brush to clean the nozzle after use but the nail still stucks after that

The way ts described it, sounds like he wanna install something illegal without no one noticing it.

That's a great question! Drilling into a cement (concrete) wall requires the right tools to make it simple and easy.
The simplest and most effective way is to use a Hammer Drill with a Masonry Bit.

bosch pro GBH180 LI is not rotary hammer drill?

bosch pro GBH180 LI is rotary hammer drill, but is cordless and expensive

corded/wired rotary hammer drill is cheaper and more powderful

edit typo supposed to be gsb 180 li isn't roratary hammer, GBH 185 li is a rotary hammer. Like user above said it expensive for occasionally diy projects. Unless you have lots dedicated project and it's your hobby go for it.

before u drill any cement wall, first check the intended drill-spot for any rebar, concealed wiring/water pipe. u can google for multi-purpose wall scanners.

Ya, i drilled till tak ada tenaga!

So 180 is ok?

Ya, i am also looking for drill bit too.

I hope I can buy the most suitable one and can DIY myself for home fixtures, cement type, concrete or iron...

if expensive, can forget about it since it is just occassional use like 2-3 times in a year.

Depend how big the hole you want to drill. If more than 10mm diameter, get a corded rotary hammer. Cheaper. But very mafan. Need to pull extension wire and not to mention quite heavy (2 hand operation). If you're gonna climb a ladder to drill, very troublesome. But since you said it just occasional, shouldn't be a problem.

If you go cordless, need those 18v-20v one, very expensive.

If the hole is like 6-10mm just to put those plastic wall plug, a cordless 12v one would do.

With all the current precast concrete wall and tiling, 120 tak bole la waste money, go for the one I use pro GSB180 LI. Accuracy and hole precision damn neat and satisfactory.

This should be a one time buy for your life time diy

Pay money for someone else to drill.

Anything that of major brand will cost at least double the ones u found in MrDIY.

Had used plenty of Makita in construction, pretty good, but once rosak need resend to specialist repair, repair also cost 2/3 a brand new model with no guarantees how long before it broke down again.
