Small concrete drill
Posted by JB on July 9, 2010 at 3:38 amI’m looking for a small, hand operated drill for setting points (PKs)in concrete. The smallest star drill I can find is 1/4″ and won’t hold a nail.
Any ideas?

heck with drilling holes, get a hilti gun.
I use a Cordless drill, 18V, use a 4.5mm bit for hilti nails/cartridge gun nails and a 7-8mm bit for the PK nails, if you happen to drill a hole to large for your nail, once around with a insulation tape usually does the drill then hammer home
I want to be able to drill a hole without power tools. I don’t set points in walks or curb often, so when I reach for my cordless drill (which has been riding around in my truck for 3 months)it’s usually dead.
Thanks!Get a Bosch hammer drill, 24 volt should be sufficient for your needs.
If I need a point on concrete, I make an X with a concrete scribe.
a lot less aggravating than trying to get a nail into concrete without power tools.
