"Drilling into concrete creates a lot of dust and noise, so it's important to wear an FFP2 respirator dust mask, some flexible safety goggles (like these Mustbau Clear Safety Glasses from Amazon) and ear defenders or plugs like these 3M E-A-R Classic Earplugs from Amazon," says Thomas."
"The type of drill and drill bit you use are the main steps to success. Choose the right combination, and drilling holes in concrete will be quick and straightforward. Select the wrong combination and you could end up taking far too long to drill a hole that simply isn't fit for purpose."
""You can use a standard combi drill to drill into concrete, providing it has a hammer function and the concrete isn't reinforced," advises Thomas Goodman, but denser concrete will need the help of a more powerful drill. "It will be easier to drill into dense concrete slabs with a mains-powered SDS drill," says"
Drilling into concrete produces significant dust and noise, so wear an FFP2 respirator, flexible safety goggles, and ear defenders or plugs. The correct drill and drill bit selection depends on the concrete type and density. A standard combi drill with a hammer function can handle non-reinforced concrete, while dense or reinforced slabs require a more powerful mains-powered SDS drill and suitable masonry bits. Choosing the wrong drill or bit combination wastes time and yields holes that are not fit for purpose. Proper protection, tool choice, and technique enable safe, efficient concrete drilling.
