Hi, I need to make a few holes into masonry/ concrete at home. Is there an SDS drill i could borrow for a couple of hours?

Can pay hire with beer (or money) for the space in return

If you look in the drill bits drawer, there's a set of spade-head
masonry bits i brought a while ago.

There's a heavy duty drill, that Maria loaned the space, in the rack
on the right of filing cabinet. We tested it on concrete, so it'll do
the job.

If you're drilling into re-enforced concrete, listen carefully to the
sound. You'll hear if you're drilling into the metal.

Hi just a shout out that I'm heading over to borrow the SDS drill from the space and perhaps an 8mm bit and will return the items tomorrow.
