DAE ever use a regular drill bit on a masonry wall in a pinch?
I was in a tight spot on a job in Spokane last Tuesday (forgot my hammer drill) and tried using a standard bit with a lot of pressure, which actually worked on the old brick but completely wrecked the bit and took about 15 minutes for one hole, so what's your go-to backup method when the right tool isn't around?

My Milwaukee hammer drill never leaves the truck.

That's how you know a tool is really good... it just lives where you need it.

It's funny how that works with the best stuff. My good tape measure just stays clipped to my belt loop all day. There's a real difference between things you have to go find and things that are just part of your hand. It shows they've earned a permanent spot because they get used constantly. The stuff that's always put away never gets chosen first.
