The icon is a little different to what I’ve seen on others and I don’t know how to tell otherwise. I have a job that involves drilling through a breeze block wall about 20cm and I don’t want the expense of buying an SDS if I can help it.

This drill was given to me a long time ago, hence not knowing what I have here.

Thanks!

    I think that is a hammer drill setting. Looks like a cordless dewalt. It will get into breeze blocks easily but 20 cm deep may be a challenge. You need SDS pneumatic for proper concrete. Not for breeze blocks or bricks. Depends on diameter too. If you need a hole for a dryer vent, you need a drill with decent power. Wall plug in breeze blocks, any drill will do

      I need a 20mm hole to feed a CCTV cable through that has an RJ45 connector so it’s a lot fatter than just a cable. I’d try work up in hole size until I get the right size. But maybe a cheap SDS is the right way to go.
