My tendinitis ridden arms thank you!!! My Journey Mans solution was to “just drill another hole beside the rebar one” 5 rebar holes later I was being bitched at for turning the parkade ceiling into Swiss cheese lmfao!
I need a 3/8s bit for two holes. Too bad i cant rent a bit for 5 minutes bc i wont need it again. Was able to drill one side through concrete then hit rebar on the other side. Got so frustrated until i realized im trying to push through rebar.
Sydney tool TV. I'm hoping this question finds you. I have 12 x 1/2" x 100mm depth ~ holes to drill into columns, and I'm sure to hit rebar, some 16mm. I'll start with a pilot hole as accuracy is a must, as I have laser cut SS plates to chemset with 10mm studs. I have a 12mm Kango 4 head cut drill bit. My hammer drill is an 850rpm Ryoby approx 2hp, (Bunnings as is the drill set). In your tutorial, drilling concrete and hitting rebar, My question is,, is your drill in the hammer mode at all times? Thanks Grahame.
“You hit rebar with a greater accuracy than a metal detector” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 SAME !!

Hitting rebar is a fact of life when drilling in concrete but with the right bit and good technique its not the day killer it can be.
Maybe but then you will have if for the rest of your life, so you can find another use for it.
The 2nd bit i bought went through rebar w zero resistance.

Grahame Gibson no. I turned hammer off once I hit the rebar and reengaged it after I’d drilled through it
@@SydneyToolsTV, Thanks for a quick reply, appreciated.
So me and my dad are stuck because were drilling through a floor and we hit something that sounds like concrete so i need help.what the hell do i do
If you are hitting concrete you'll need to switch your drill bit to a masonry bit and then follow the instructions in this video.
It also depends on what you're drilling with.
A hammer drill is what is needed, along with the appropriate bit.
Where can we get them in new Zealand?
I need a 16mm x 400mm long
