Drilling into Brick

How to easily drill into brick or concrete.

[@Archangeldawn]

Super useful and cute video! I almost bought a Hammer drill because I'm trying to drill through brick to install an A/C Window Unit Bracket but I see I just need a special masonary drill bit to use with my existing power drill AND thank you so much for specifiy that the masonary drill bit is supposed to be shorter than the anchor drill, saved me a headache!

[@babymantuck3256]

Good video! After watching and drilling into brick I must add these tips drilling into heavier, denser brick.
1: Use good quality bit.
2: Low and steady rpms and occasionally higher rpm vs constant high rpm produces easier drilling.
3: Use compressed air to keep brick dust from building up in the holes.

Thanks for this info. I'm having a terrible time getting a contractor who will do this. My regular guy said it could not be done because it would damage the brick. I also asked at Home Depot and was told it could not be done. In watching your video, it obviously IS possible! Now if only I can find someone who has the tools and will do the work!

[@kreative15]

Just want to say thank you so much. I been trying to find a video that simply explains what I need to drill into brick. I want to install my ring door bell on my brick house but dont know what tools I need.Today I stumble across this video.Thank you so much!

[@fraserm803]

I just hot glued mine to the brick
Or you could buy silicone glue

[@scizzrhands]

I was looking for instruction on Drilling into brick but now I am in Love!!!!!!

[@gillysan9326]

If later you don't need the stuff you attached to the wall you can use plumbers putty to seal the hole or just leave the screw in there. That becomes really important if you live somewhere where water freezes in winter or the water can begin widening & cracking from the hole.

[@hulmad]

Fuck. Read your comment after I put my new house numbers up.

[@sigkenfeelsigken3344]

How much water is going to penetrate a 3/8 hole. Lol

[@qontentqreator6717]

604 dislikes are from jealous manly dudes who failed at drilling 😂

[@fungames24]

I failed to drill, and I need it done now. But she wouldn't get to the point. So -1.

If you have soft brick you don’t need a masonry drill bit

[@tyesonbuxx]

That must be it

[@gregwhealtonjr.2550]

😂😂😂 yo this is the best comment I've seen on here!!!

[@ThePeepingEgg]

LOL my chickens are always all around me, too! I'm in the process of TRYING To put up a greenhouse I built....we shall see how that goes. i'm glad to have found your video. The concrete screws I bought came with the drill bit, so that is helpful. Thank you for mentioning that the drill bit should be smaller than the screw itself. Don't worry about the negative comments, some people just don't see positivity in anything! Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@nandodando9695]

Actually had the info I needed. Masonry Bit for brick has a sort of hammer head. Thanks. My DIY went up 2+

[@CookieZ3353]

Always love learning this stuff from a female! Thank you!

[@user-hh2ew5fk3q]

I must have typed in chickens by accident

[@wiseman3911]

Good one 😂😇

[@OfMiceAndMegabytes]

Thanks this is simple yet saves me a lot knowing I don't need a hammer drill.

[@garagesale9976]

Funny I enquired about getting a chicken yesterday only to find out chickens need company so I need at least 2. Today I needed to drill into some brick to install a garden hose real. So Thankyou very muck problem solved masonry drill bit I get tomorrow and maybe soon I’ll get some chickens. I’ll continue to watch to see what you do. Cheers!😃👍

[@kakarroto007]

Best 30 second video ever.

[@waltermiscrimmons2281]

Thanks and good luck with the chicks!!

[@Gab19]

Incredibly helpful

[@dr.wardsonlinelessons]

Came to learn how to drill into brick...once finished, I HAD to go and watch the chickens try out the chicken swing!

[@light487]

Great informative video. Very clear and easy to understand.

[@seresinhe]

Thanks for teaching us how to drill a hole in the brick......Now we need some chickens.

[@boujeeonabudget2477]

I adore you thank you for making this look easy☺️

[@billycharles]

Very nice. Cute lady and very handy

[@blameusa7082]

Learned more about chickens than drilling

[@howief86]

those chicks are SO CUTE!! awww!! and thank you, i had no idea the drill bit had to be smaller. im doing a project with my brick wall in the house, and had no idea how to drill into it. thanks for this video! - Mommy Vee (Not my daughter in my thumbnail) lol

[@soyuz281]

I tried the same thing. It took forever to drill just about an inch deep. The bit was new. The drill didn't have hammer feature. It would be nice to know what I am missing.

[@bobjackson5912]

Went through 10 ridiculously complicated videos to find the perfect one. Succinct PLUS chickens!

[@adycee2915]

This is so cute. Those chicks 💘
In UK I've always only used a plastic expanding wall plug & screw to secure items for 30 years plus.
Those fixing screws/ wall dogs are amazing xx

[@hulmad]

Foxy lady, useful tips for drilling into brick. Adorable chickens. 10/10

[@tevion10]

I think the reason the screws and drill bits not matching is that you would use a plug in the hole.

[@colettethomson9462]

Sounds silly but thank you so much for this vid! I could not understand why my drill wasnt working on brick, after countless videos this one helped me realised where I was going wrong! Now sorted - thank you! X

[@neilselman8575]

Good advice ......never done this before ......all went well .....great clip

[@pfsantos007]

Tapcons (trademark) is another name for these screws that go into masonry, cement, mortar or concrete. Take whatever you want to hang so you know what diameter screw you need, then check the screw packaging and it will tell you what size drill bit you need. Small packs sometimes come with the drill bit. (Not affiliated with Tapcon, I just use them). Oh, it helps if you use a 'hammer' drill, since it vibrates/hammers the bit in as it turns.

[@richcramer3750]

Love this super helpful!!❤

[@timmytee734]

What a cool lady. Love the short hair!

[@deanhenderson7940]

Ok I think I love you! I love how you got distracted by the chickens and made me giggle, thanks for the tips and smiles!!

[@shotsbylu7699]

She has the “let me speak to your manager” haircut

[@chobbs3384]

If she's a Karen then we have to get the manager

[@southbreeze6745]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

[@cxxxxp9833]

She seems more a "Sandra" than a "Karen" though... HIIIII CHICKENS!

[@classycanadian]

Was in for the drilling, but as a bird person, got hooked by the cute little chicks.

[@timeswithalzheimers201]

I loved it. Thanks for the tutorial and thanks for the chicks!

[@randallledbetter7158]

Might want to mention the need for a hammer drill too.

[@antigen4]

not in brick

[@erickchurch5390]

Randall Ledbetter Looks like she successfully drilled into it without a hammer drill. If you think a hammer drill is necessary for drilling into brick, you don’t know how to drill.

[@elephantarmy]

Helpful, thanks! One of the commentators below mentioned something about the speed of the drill and that its important to use a drill that has the 'high speed' setting you used to drill. Fair comment? (i've no idea - not drilled into brick, ... yet! )

[@brentsido8822]

elephantarmy I drill into , brick, block, concrete all the time. I can vouch for that comment if your drill is a hammer drill put it on speed two. Even a standard drill with masonry bit could benefit from higher speed though give the bit breaks to cool off.

[@Exploretravelwolf]

Awesome video very helpful!! I'm seeing this from São Paulo Brazil! Thank you 😀

[@pianobar7801]

Very helpful, thanks for posting.

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

I love chickens too!!!! I talk them just like you do!!! Thank you for the info. I have to do this soon!

[@synthead]

Thanks for the great video and showing us your adorable chicks!

[@kevinb707]

I’ve got an 18v drill and that same drill tip but I can’t drill into my brick at all. It just makes a little dent. What am I doing wrong

[@susanwynn2820]

Great video!! Thank you!! Love your chicken swing!

[@talariswatts-el6174]

Great video. Thanks for the info.

[@buffiehowe1609]

I truly appreciate this awesome information

[@xeviusUsagi]

People keep saying, use a drum drill...
But what if you don't have one.
Buy one of curse...
Well they aren't really free or cheap so I really think that the best thing to do is changing house it's much more cheap that buying a new drill

[@bluerabbit7245]

Is that a hammer drill or a normal drill? Thanks for the video, love the chicks btw :)

[@MadeAnointed7]

It’s one thing to drill into a brick wall without a respirator, and it’s another thing to blow out the debris. But inhaling all that silica dust you just drilled and blew out is on a whole new level.

[@lesmurray3306]

Coolest DYI ever! The baby chicks come before the "stuff". Ain't love wonderful?

[@tjwatts1207]

30 seconds hahahahhhahahaha... thanks for the info :)

[@richardcarr7702]

Nicely done!

[@RealMudSkipper]

I love this. But let's not call it 30-seconds :)

[@InsaneWorkouts1]

Are you using a hammer drill? I’m having a lot of trouble with my regular drill. Thank you!

[@Stevie74133]

Me too. I feel weak 😭

[@coreyalbright3508]

Good video and way to keep your audiences attention

[@jesusislord890]

Very straight to the point. Cute chicks!

[@shavedbald2]

Thank you hun! Hell time trying find way do w/ regular tools, thank you.

[@snowhabibi6928]

"hi chicken!" Got me hahaha

[@rockingcancerwithtiawoman8630]

Yay! Learned what I needed to know and saw some chickens.

[@edwardjohnson1502]

Help me out alot

[@Teaspoon0406]

What screwdriver is that?? 😅 It's amazing!

[@23royalace]

She has a "sir this mustard is too hot" type of haircut

[@davidpercival488]

No safety goggles, no hand protection, no breathing filters. Oh, dear... The chickens are cute, but someone trying to follow these steps will loose an eye.

[@MrLike2surf]

Karen, you are cuter than the chickens. Liked your video!

[@derickfield2284]

chickens cause rats and foxes

[@thinkofparis]

very attractive woman. enjoyed the video

[@ironjohn5914]

Hammer drill for doing a lot of holes and a power impact driver for the screws.....much faster.......

[@foppo100]

Depending what the holes are for mark the spot first.

[@Kryojenix]

4:26 Suddenly I'm very nervous for those chickens? 😲

[@northwoodsliving101]

A hammer drill would be a bonus. Will drill twice as fast, easier on the drill bit

[@DENORTHBEARFISHING]

*d r i i l l i n g i n t o b r i c k*

[@tsnstt]

Great chicken video!

[@SILVER-523]

Super cute that you took a second to kiss the chickens.

[@TheArtofDoingStuff]

I had to go back and watch it again, Gwynn. I didn't remember kissing the chicken. But yep. I did, lol. ~ karen!

[@GranPuba]

OMG I want, scratch that, I NEED a swtich blade screwdriver 😯

[@sunnyperezcid7283]

Oh I've got to see the next video!!! :D

[@RErnie-gv1hv]

Fantastic landing gear.

[@anwarma1]

What type of drill you are using ? Is it Hammer drill ??

[@missydiaz1]

Thank you for sharing. I came here because I tried the Ryobi masonry drill bit (Impact Rated Masonry Set (3-Piece) and it DOES NOT drill through the brick. 😒 What brand of masonry drill bit did you use?

[@TheArtofDoingStuff]

Hi Yesenia. Sorry, I just got this message - I honestly, usually just buy middle of the road drill bits. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. I can't remember what brand they all are exactly. ~ karen!

[@charcoalanderson8010]

When she showed the baby chicks the place where she was going to drill! 😂 I love it!

[@HBFREEWORLD]

Nice video 👍🏼
But safety glasses 👓 please

[@kristimeenan4317]

I love this video so much! Helpful. Entertaining. Real. And short. Hitting the subscribe button NOW!

[@jonathancarpenter8007]

I'm also a big fan of chickens! Tuesday specials at popeyes :)

[@richardcarr7702]

Lol! Me, too! 😂

[@Laszlomtl]

An Excellent explanation of the subject !! Thank You ! Laszlo Montreal Photog. Could you please tell me the brand name of your Retractable Srewdriver? Thanks.

[@markd8469]

Screw is called a Tapcon

[@maryba3274]

Its not fair. I want to see the whole brood - all the chickens and the mother. I am surprised the mother did not attack you when you picked up her chicks. You should have just shown the whole chick set instead of saying hi to chickens! Perhaps its because they are a little bit older now. Helpful video.

[@clivethereddevil3178]

I would recommend wearing safety glasses when doing this

[@cxxxxp9833]

I'm just here looking for the swinging chicken follow up video.. can someone post a link ??

And a big HI to the drill bits!

[@deejaaywalker2314]

I got 2 minutes and 32 seconds into this 30 second video before bailing to watch videos on chickens. Did I miss anything?

[@eyobmesfin8634]

thank you lady

[@janespiers9529]

Obsessed with chickens

[@tee5798]

What if I need to go all the way thru? What's the name of that piece but longer? Trying to run wires

[@observer1242]

I am drilling and drilling with masonry bit and a big huge ass drill and it will not penetrate the brick. I went to the hardware store. He said here this drillbit will go through the brick. I drilled again nothing it’s like drilling into granite. It’s getting very frustrating. The screw that I need to put in is about an inch and a half long.now I can’t put up my flag for memorial day. Frustrated.

[@johnzabik270]

Call her the chicken lady..lol

[@angusmcgil]

i think the bricks im drilling must have been made with dimonds in them even the hammer drill hardly made it in 5 mm

[@cameronavery3176]

her stopping to show us the chicks made me feel like I was right there with her 🥺😭

[@abdx7777]

One screw is not enough to hold the weight of person on the swing , it could break out and that bar fall on kids head , not enough support with one screw

[@IzharKhan-uz7et]

U didn’t show drill function like do we need a hammer function or torque

[@johnzabik270]

Hmmm fried chicken...yummy

[@andreafouchia517]

Hi Karen, You make it all look so easy! My problem is that I purchased a very heavy entryway hook and shelf, it is 60 inches long. I spent a good part of an afternoon assembling it with my 11 year old. The next step was to find the wall studs to anchor it to the wall and lo and behold, there are no studs. I remembered a worker telling me that I have drywall over a single layer of brick....very inefficient but none the less. I'd be drilling through the dry wall to the brick so I can't see where on the brick I'm drilling. Does it matter where the drill goes? into the mortar or brick? or both at the same time? and how deep should the anchor be? Any other advice?

[@SonnyGTA]

Brick. Always into brick. Mortal will crumble.
