My husband passed away recently so now I must tackle all those jobs around the house he used to do. Your video was very informative and gave me the confidence to try things for myself. Many thanks 👍
Christopher Russell Thanks Christoper! It means a lot that someone was paying attention! But those settings are v. important (in the scheme of drilling things)! Stay safe. The Sheriff.
@@buildingsheriff same here! I know this is an old comment but as someone who has alot of secondhand tools from family who've lost the manuals, i really appreciate tidbits of info like this! Knowing this would've made my life easier in some situations.
these kind of videos are priceless for people like me. Always relied on my dad for DIY at my new place, but also my mum's, but he unfortunately passed away at the start of the year and having to learn all this kind of stuff on my own now (at 35!). Thanks a lot for all your videos :)
Drilled into the wall for the first time today. The first drill attempt wasn't the straightest, but the second went it like a glove. Well chuffed. This video is spot on sir.
This video is amazing!! Thank you for your detailed explanation. I made a mistake with the diameter of the tip, so I had to do another hole next to the it, but it will serve as a reminder. For yellow plugs, it's 5mm tip.
After looking all over the youtube, I found your video the most helpful. Finally, I am getting confident of doing the job myself in my first home. Thank you. Subscribed to your channel now.
Thank you so much for this video - I always wondered how one would know to avoid electric cables in the wall and that is the main reason I've always asked my dad to do this sort of thing for me. I now feel a lot more confident in buying my own drill and doing this sort of thing myself without waiting weeks or months for my dad to be able to do it for me 😊😊
Thanks Sherrif, today I am able to drill first holes in my house wall to mount AC stabilizer and MCB. This is my very first time in life and it is super successful. I could save a visit of electrician and also around 10 dollar service charge
Thank you so much for this!!! I've been trying to find a clear and simple vid for drilling into walls (and other DIY) for years! I live alone and can't really afford a pro handy man. This is the only vid i've seen that's finally given me the confidence to do it myself. Thank you so much! Subscribed!
Very well made video Sheriff. Don't know how I ended up here as I'm a tradesman myself but one thing I did learn by reading the comments, chicks really dig these kind of videos, perhaps I should start making them 🤣
When i usually drill for heavy item to hang. I use a smaller dril bit with hammering. And i finish the hole with the proper drill bit without hammering mode. That way the hole holds the plug very tight. I use hammer to slide them inside. I believe that is the best way. Not that yours is not. But sometimes some walls are softer and when i drill the hole isnt tight.
Straight to the point,no unnecessary spiel,clear concise. Tho is the first time when I see been recommended to push the plug in all the time. Why I that?most of the videos the head ofplug is flush with the wall
I hadn't thought of using an SDS drill bit in a normal chucked drill. Makes sense though as SDS bits seem to be much longer generally than standard ones. Also - liked the tips on wiring - assuming an electrican rather than DIYer has wired it..
Make sure that the slit of the wall plug is horizontal so that the screw is against the wall plug when under load not slit through wall plug. It will make firm connection to the wall under load
Very helpful I desperately need to learn this stuff but some questions are unanswered, why use a 2inch screw would you ever need a shorter/longer and why. Why use different wall plugs, and are all walls like the same round the house. What if the screw doesn't bite at and is loose or something is in the way and you can drill the hole?
Yes. Be careful! Ladder always perpendicular to the wall, never parallel. Always have someone standing on the bottom rung footing it. Just take it easy. Slow and steady. Does it 🥊
Obviously if it is a very tall step ladder and you are too far from the wall, you will have to be parallel, but then you will need someone on the bottom rung and also I’d recommend a third person on the other side of the ladder holding it so that it doesn’t push away from the wall
I'm using my combi to create hole with chisel etc. for a new eletrical back box. But i'm hitting concrete and really struggling to break it up. Using a masonry bit and all. Any thoughts?
You can use thick concrere nail + hammer to create a crack hole when the wall is tough to drill in one go, then you can try to proceed with drilling again. I use this trick whenever im drilling very hard concrete wall, much bettee than forcing to drill in one go. Just a humble tips that most people might already know. Just in case
Hello, I loved your video, it was very informative. I would like to learn how to do all those jobs myself. Could you please put a link to the drill you used please
For Plasterboard I make a pilot hole, then make that’s hole the correct size. I usually need to drill into the brick behind for the depth of the fitting. But sometimes the drill bit skates around when it hits the brick. This changes the dimensions of the hole in the plaster board. How can I avoid this? Thanks! At a guess my bit isn’t “sharp” all masonry bits feel blunt!? 🤐
I never saw anybody have such a hard time drilling a hole into drywall. That drill bit had to be very very very dull. And in America if the screw plastic anchor can be pushed all the way in with your hand, the hole is too large. The anchor hole should tinier than the screw plug and usually needs a slight tap from a hammer to make it flush to the wall. Also never use a 12 inch drill bit to drill such a whole, it will wobble on tougher walls.
Beaver starts playing with his father's unplugged drill. When Larry comes over, he tries to goad Beaver into plugging it in to drill real holes. Knowing he isn't supposed to play with his father's tools, Beaver refuses. But Beaver doesn't stop Larry from doing it, with Beaver even holding the piece of wood Larry is going to drill into up against the garage wall. When the resulting drill holes result in holes in the garage wall as well, Beaver knows he's going to get into trouble when his father sees what happened. Indeed, Ward feels that the incident is more Beaver's fault than Larry's fault since Beaver knew directly from Ward previously that he was not to play with his tools. Angry that he is being punished for what he believes is not his fault, Beaver not only tells his father that he is going to run away, but defiantly (at first) walks out of the house in front of his father. But when Ward lets him go, Beaver seems confused but leaves anyway. The battle of wills is now not only between Ward and Beaver, but also between Ward and June who doesn't care about anything except the welfare of her son, even after they find out that Beaver is fine and over at the Mondello's. Wally is the one who provides the voice of reason, or at least the voice of what it feels like to be a child pushed into a corner.
A wood bit has a sharp point on the end and is usually black. A masonry bit has a little kind of hammerhead shark look at the end. Like a pair of ears and it is usually silver. If you ask in your local DIY or hardware shop they will match you screws for appropriate plugs.
Can you recommend a couple of masonry bits? (screws and anchor are a bonus :D ). Thanks so much for the video, it is the first time that someone mention that #2 is for drilling, i have seen tutorials videos using #1 and #2 indistinctly...
I would look up some ratings and reviews but honestly just make sure you don't push too hard with masonry bits, you will get a feel on what's a good pressure to apply after you get a little experience and practice. Wear safety glasses especially if you're drilling above eye level... Maybe a mask if doing extended masonry cutting or drilling. Main thing to extend the life of a bit is to drill level, and don't drill for too long without giving a chance for the bit to cool. They will definitely wear out and burn up after lots of use though.

Thanks mate. For the simple, but very useful drilling tips.
What an amazing, yet simple and very well explained. Impressive, I've been doing it wrong no wonder no successful lasting results.. thankyou sis.🙌🏾
Thank you for this incredible video man! You did an amazing job explaining and showing how it’s done.
Thankyou so much! This was everything I needed in one video rather than other creators who break this up into 12 x 5 mins parts 😂.
This video is amazing!! Thank you for your detailed explanation. I made a mistake with the diameter of the tip, so I had to do another hole next to the it, but it will serve as a reminder. For yellow plugs, it's 5mm tip.
Great explanation of safely drilling into a wall and possibly having and avoiding _electrical wiring_ behind the walls. Thank you.
My only worry is im in an old house, not sure they conformed to those priniciples?

Thanks! This is exactly what I need.
Perfect instructions, thank you!.
Big help with the electrical tip at 1:45ish. Thank you

Incredible video. Thanks!
Very useful explanations!
WOW, fantastic tutorial.
Awesome explanation
Thanks for teaching.
Appreciate you including how fricken hard it was for you to drill that wall! Some walls will be tougher than others. Not always easy.
Thank you for making this video!!

This is such a helpful video. I’ve always worried about the electrical lines are hitting water.
Great advice thanks
Thanks, Paul. 👍
@Hugh Jarsol Cheers, "Hugh"!
Thank you Bro! I was drlling too high on the wall and the tips help me do not embarrassed myself front of my gf.
Make sure that the slit of the wall plug is horizontal so that the screw is against the wall plug when under load not slit through wall plug. It will make firm connection to the wall under load
Thanks for that tip about the slit being horizontal.

Can you do a video about drilling a hook for hanging chairs into concrete ceilings?
Lovely video thank you Cause I am trying to save costs hiring contractors for these simple things
Great video thanks. Any hints/tips for drilling high up on a wall? Ie ladder orientation etc
Yes. Be careful! Ladder always perpendicular to the wall, never parallel. Always have someone standing on the bottom rung footing it. Just take it easy. Slow and steady. Does it 🥊

Fantastic, the how much weight can a screw hold is always what i have wanted to know
You’re in for a treat then! Check this out! ua-cam.com/video/kAxGAIFbqu4/v-deo.html

How do you drill a high up spot when you don't have your bodyweight to push it enough, If you're on a ladder for example. Any tips?
Holy shit the toolbox is hanging!
It's good practice to drill a smaller pilot hole if your wall is a bit fragile
What is the driller make and model you are using?
Great Video. So do you select screw just smaller than a plug. Is there a standard table. Also how do I recognize bit that is for concrete vs wood.
A wood bit has a sharp point on the end and is usually black. A masonry bit has a little kind of hammerhead shark look at the end. Like a pair of ears and it is usually silver. If you ask in your local DIY or hardware shop they will match you screws for appropriate plugs.
@@buildingsheriff Thank you.
How to prevent the drill bit from slipping and moving away from the marked spot?
Do all drills have a setting 1 and 2 for screwing and drilling?
No, he has a drill and impact driver. If you just have a drill you won't have the 1 and 2
first video in the list when you became a dad
I had no idea plugs are colour coded! 😲
Can you recommend a couple of masonry bits? (screws and anchor are a bonus :D ). Thanks so much for the video, it is the first time that someone mention that #2 is for drilling, i have seen tutorials videos using #1 and #2 indistinctly...
I would look up some ratings and reviews but honestly just make sure you don't push too hard with masonry bits, you will get a feel on what's a good pressure to apply after you get a little experience and practice. Wear safety glasses especially if you're drilling above eye level... Maybe a mask if doing extended masonry cutting or drilling. Main thing to extend the life of a bit is to drill level, and don't drill for too long without giving a chance for the bit to cool. They will definitely wear out and burn up after lots of use though.
