These are so sharp you can use them without hammer TBH. I can only imagine the tile you cracked had the incorrect adhesive for porcelain. I’ve personally never cracked a porcelain tile with these and I’ve drill hundreds of thousands of holes over 25 years. I personally didn’t like how quickly diamond bits wear out compared to their price, but more than happy to check them out again, thanks for the recommendation buddy. Cheers, Rob.
@@stevevenus1 I’ll give them another go, but definitely need a speedy option when second fixing lots of equipment and accessories as I can be drilling up to 50 holes in one bathroom. How do you feel about the spearhead bits?
I bought the 6.5mm drill bit using this link to drill my porcelain tiles. My floor tiles are 8mm porcelain and it had no problem with one hole I needed to do for the door stop. But for the 10mm porcelain wall tiles it really struggled. It was super hard work to get through it with this bit and the bit was totally trashed after 4 holes (for the vanity unit). When I read the packet it says it's not really intended for porcelain. Have a missed something here? Or better to just use the diamond bits?
I prefer these to diamond bits personally (both wear out quickly) and obviously I work with porcelain every day, it’s just my preference. But I do emphasise in the video about using a smaller bit to pilot hole the tiles, it’s so much easier and quicker. Did you do this?
@@lesterbathrooms3948 Thanks for your reply. I've just realised what happened. I watched your other video How To Drill and Fix into TILES | Solid Walls or Plasterboard. I didn't realise that wasn't for porcelain and missed the link in the description for this video. There was only a link there for the 6.5mm drill bit and that was the only one discussed in the video. Then when I went to comment I put "drilling tiles" into the search and this vid came up. I didn't realise it was a different video. But thanks anyway, I've still got a few holes to go so will pilot hole in future!
Are you using anchors in these holes to fasten these fixtures to the walls? I need to get a shower rod mounted but unfortunately don't have a good way to know where there are studs in the walls.
Use hammer action....find out from your contractor what's behind the tile , Really. Just moved in a ten year old house, no idea who built it , probably gone bust by now. Would have been useful to tell us how to do it if we don't know what's behind the tile !!!
Ok Alan, two options. Use Hammer and take a risk or don’t use hammer and you’ll still get through, you’ll just use a few more bits. Thanks for you comment.
I will press a dislike 👎 on the one comment you made. I apologize for the dislike sir. But I hope my comment might get the attention for u to answer me. 🤣 I'm sorry that I have to laugh to, your video is wonderful, but silly at the same time. Who is going to what bathroom, what tile or what they use years later. 2 what if you don't know who did the work ether because u just got the property or is an apartment 🤔 😏 😉 🙃 lol U said make sure u call and ask the contractor what they use behind the tile or how they install it 🤣🤣🤣really sir? 🤣🤣 come on now. That sounds ridiculous, why not just tell us how is done or what can we do to fix it, prevented 🙄🙄 omgs. I'm sorry to be rude, i don't mean to be rude but I had to point it out because there is how scars people from actually trying, and that just sounds fking awful sir. Well I hope u answer me or fix it for the next video . Otherwise thank you for your video
Satan’s Teeth?! Who knew??
VERY helpful! Thank you.
I've cracked porcelain tiles trying that method. Much prefer a diamond tipped porcelain bit(not using the hammer)

@@lesterbathrooms3948 Yep, the diamond ones are very expensive and do where out quickly.

Thanks Rob, very informative.
Thank you!

Yes I am, I use a 6mm multipurpose uno rawl plug which is great for plasterboard, so no need to locate the studs.
Thank you!
You’re welcome! ☺️
I don’t look good in glasses 😂😂
Truth bomb! 😂

Basically what I mean is that if your Porcelain tiles have been installed incorrectly and you crack a tile don’t blame me!
Too long to get to the point
Just my way, I like to inform.
Too much talking and no eye protection…
