My advice is drill into mortar and not brick -- vtpaul82 08/30/2017 11:10AM

You can also patch mortar so it looks original... -- EDGEMAN 08/30/2017 1:25PM

With an under-powered drill, get a new masonry bit and put it on low speed -- HokieinTampa 08/30/2017 10:06AM

I don't think a masonry bit pulls into the hole. It's all force. -- 48zip 08/30/2017 10:11AM

True as it relates specifically to masonry bits, but still need to clear -- HokieinTampa 08/30/2017 10:16AM

Heat also an issue -- VTKylometers 08/30/2017 10:31AM

Tampa is right remember, slow as you go. -- HokiesBill48 08/30/2017 10:10AM

Concur - gotta be a hammer drill -- VTKylometers 08/30/2017 10:27AM

Thirded. Hammer drill makes a BIG difference. -- Tafkam Hokie 08/30/2017 6:23PM

You can do it with a regular drill, just takes longer. I buy the masonry/ -- fordham 08/30/2017 10:46AM

This. Brick is one-tough mutha to drill without a hammer drill. -- HokieSignGuy 08/30/2017 10:25AM
