I have a Ryobi compact drill and noticed the reviews on the Ryobi drill bits are not so great.
I am thinking to get a different brand if possible.

The set that Ryobi makes is (Ryobi Speed Load Plus 17-Piece Titanium Drill Bit Set) from Home depot

I am looking for a do it all kind of set but will mostly be drilling into my walls which are some are stucco & some brick I also will be using on wood. Will not be doing metal so much not sure if a 4v drill can do that. I'm new to this so any advice helps. Thanks

I did a search on my question and found that people were saying to buy a carbide tip drill bit for stainless steel. I don't think these planks will be stainless steel. Plus, they said having a cordless drill might not work well since you don't get a steady supply of power like you do from a corded drill, like I have.

While I'm asking that, will Home Depot or another place cut the planks of steel to my asking length? I need them to be about 4 feet long (from left to right) and I only need 2 holes in each plank, one hole on each side and I'll be buying two planks and they'll be about 2 inches wide (from top to bottom).

Thanks!

My dad has a dewalt cordless drill but i dont know if I can use it to drill through rock. Would any drill work as long as I had the right size and right drill bit for the job? All I need to do it drill a small hole in a rock so I can put a bolt anker through the rock so I can rig my rope for repelling into the rest of the cave.

I bought concrete drill bits in the past to fasten the a threshold to a concrete slab. The drill bit went in about 1/4 in and went dull. The drill bits are expensive. I used a cordless and corded drill. But I got the same results. Now I want to work on a bigger project on my concrete deck. What tools an materials can I use to drill holes to anchor some 6x6 pressure treated uprights to the concrete slab? I want to build a pergola but don't want my drill bit budget to be the same as the lumber and hardware budgets.

on Do It Yourself network yesterday this driver drill bit flips while in your cordless drill so you don't have
to change bits or come off ladders

I would like to build an oak table on my own, but I'm unsure of the following:

1) What handheld drill type is best to use with oak? I'd like something cordless, easy to handle, that isn't expensive. Any recommendations?

2) Is the drill bit the most important factor for being able to penetrate the oak? Can a great drill bit with a non-premium drill penetrate oak?
@ Suzanne, thank you for the information. I'm building it from my own plans (not a box kit).

I have a firestorm black and decker cordless drill and i can't seem to get the drill bit back in.

or any socket for that matter that has like a round(er) end like a normal drill bit that would go inside a regular drill chuck and then be a socket on the other end?
