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!

I made some holes in my computer case using a hand nibbler. I'm told the next step is to take a dremel and smooth out those edges. I searched online for "dremel" and it leads me to all these kits. Is there a bit that I can just attach to a cordless drill and use in the same way? What would be the specific name of this accessory?

What kind of drill do I need to easily drill holes into the cement sub-floor of my house (for a flooring project)? I've already tried two different types of masonry bits with my cordless, 18 volt Bosch (model 3850). I'm thinking that the bit isn't the problem, it's the drill. It takes about 10 minutes and a way too much effort just to drill one hole. Any suggestions?

I already found the answer here from 11 months ago, but it's not working. I twist the sleeve to the pic of the drill, I put the drill in reverse, I hold the end of the drill and press the trigger. Nothing. I've used this drill many times and its never locked on me. It WONT budge. All I wanna do is stick a bit in and drill some holes, but it won't unlock :( Please help me. I've been trying for 24 hours off and on.

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.

I've just bought my first house and the previous owners kindly (?) plastered over any picture hanging holes so I have to drill all my own. I'm a girl, I've never done this before and I can't get anyone to help me for ages! What kind of things should I know before I get started? I have a cordless hammer drill suitable for drilling these kinds of holes so what else?!

I just got a cordless drill gun and want to know if i can use it to drill holes (abt .5 cm wide and 1-2 cm deep) into BRICK WALLS. here's the drill gun specs:
18V, upto 900 rpm.
The instruction manual didn't help. Sorry if this is an elementary question but i don't know much about drill guns.

just bought it, charged it all night, worked well for about 5 minutes (not continuously), then i had to shake it for it to work. im using it on 1x3's, i made about 12 holes and now its dead.. is it me?
