Recently widowed and having to do all the odd jobs that my bestie did, best ever diy tutorial, thank you
Any lady who does DIY deserves a like in my book. Love the Irish accent too.
She looks like Denis Leary though. He too is Irish.
Seconded. Highly.
Thank you. I looked at other manly advice that implied I needed to buy 2 or 3 other specialist pieces, put beefy strength behind the drill and grow another hand! This was simply explained and has inspired confidence. Great!
I've spent the last half an hour looking for a video to show me how to do exactly this. Thank you for providing useful, accurate, entertaining information.
Thank you for this video. I love that I didn't have to buy a special bit and used what I already had at home. It worked perfect.
I have a pair of safety flip flops like those myself. They're great when carrying heavy objects, welding or even grinding!
You shouldn't wear flip-flops whilst skateboarding, very dangerous.
I don't know who I love more...her, or that Makita drill !
Clear, concise and very effective. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for posting this , i done exactly the same as you, i drilled holes in tiles and it worked a treat , got a thumbs up from me !
I am so nervous about getting it wrong, tomorrow I shall go get a glass/tile bit. Thanks for posting and giving confidence to those who lack it.
Thank you for this excellent lesson. Very well explained!
Excellent video, im a big burly man and ive never in my 40years ever drilled into tiles, but i have to put up a new shower curtain rail onto a tiled wall, excellent clear info in this vid, i dont care how old the vid, its awesome, thanks alot.
congrats to those men being able to watch this and not comment something negative on it. The other videos also don't show safety goggles: no one mentions it. I think lots of men have the feeling they lost control over their last bit of self-worth when women went off and got stuff done without their permission. This is how they retaliate.. by putting sexist and negative comments on social media. Sad lot.
Don’t read too much into silly comments. Waay overanalysing there and drawing all the wrong conclusions
Lovely to see a lady showing us how its done!
Perfect description and very informative. Thank you
well thank you - I found that really easy to follow and I now have a soap dish and toothbrush holder up in my bathroom... so pleased with myself :-)

Exactly what I needed and so confidence inspiring
Short sharp witty and clear . Thank you.
I've been looking for a video showing this for ages! thank you!
Thanks a lot. I was worried about cracking my tiles. But now I can safely and securely drill holes.
Excellent and in very plain language - just going to do mine now!
Great video. The only thing I would add is to put a rubber ring around the base of the drill bit. This will prevent the drill chuck from cracking the tile (3:11) on the video.
I found the masking tape advice really helpful. However, I did try the wood drill bit to start off the process and it didn't really have much impact. I switched to a masonry bit and it worked much better. All in all, great advice, simple and clear instructions. Given the right tools and the right advice, I can tackle most handwork, and this video certainly helped. .
Come back to this every time I have to drill a tile. I do remember how to do it (and yes I have the special tile bits) , but she gives me the confidence to break through the fear of cracking a tile (Haven't yet :) ).
I so agree! I watched it now and I know I have to come back and rewatch it just before I want to drill my tiles. Tiles are frighteningly fragile and delicate when it comes to drilling.
Ok. I’m in love. Thanks
This was a fabulous tutorial, you have a lovely way of explaining. I found this both useful and fun to watch! 😊 Now here's hoping I can do it too 😅
I loved the vid and the job got done no probs. well done girl I'm a fan and now a subscriber. Many thanks

Brilliant !!!!
Excellent video!
Thanks for this - here I go!!
Thank you very much for this nice video
good job thanks
thank you! :)
thanks for the tips very helpful... the tape thing :)
Job well done!!
useful tips, thanks
You should push the rawl plugs in further so as to avoid the tile cracking when you tighten the screw up, the rawl plug will expand and can crack the tile. But good to see a helpful tutorial
Trying now.
Wish me luck.
That masonry drill bit for brickwork looks suspiciously like a hss high speed steel haha
nicely done 👌
My favourit bit is pulling masking tape off especially after painting!
Great job !!
Well done...
You only need one drill a drill bit meant for tile like a very pointed Bosch masonry bit or similar. Small piece of tape to mark the spot on. Pen to mark the location. Mark the location. Light hammer. Using the bit only place the point where you want the hole and using a hammer, lightly tap the drill bit as you slowly rotate it by hand. This creates a tiny crater to start the drill bit in. Place the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten. Place the bit point in the crater and drill the hole. Remove the bit of tape and you are done. The tiny crater is key to maintaining the hole location. Tape alone isn't a great solution.
Love it. 🙏 so simple
Great video, I love it, it is true I always scare of cracking the tile...
good job
Nicely done
Thanks.
shouldnt u use a specific tile drill bit similar to a masonry but more of a arrow head tip?
고맙습니다.^^
Great Video
Absolutely adorable.
Very informative video.
awesome..😍
You pushed in your ancors with ease! What stopped these ancors from turning when you used the screws for the towel holder?
It's a thumbs up from me! 👌 🙌
do you mind if I ask which drill do you use. Makita... how much power and stuff..?? I am simply new!
i love the pchhkh!!keekhhhh !!
If you use your masonry bit alone, you can go through the tile with out breaking it. The trick is to put your drill in reverse and be very gentile on the pressure you put on the drill. Let the drill and bit do the work. After you have pass the shiny coat on the tile, you can put your drill on forward and finish the hole. I've done it many many times and never had a tile cracked on me.
Interesting suggestion. With the drill in reverse, the bit is grinding a hole in the tile as opposed to cutting into the tile. However, doesn't the bit still walk around the tile?
For that you put a piece of masking tape on the tile to help it a bit, just like she did it on the video, but if you hold the drill steddy and let the drill do the work for you (not force it) it shuould give you good results. I've done it many times and never had a problem with it. Although, I never had to use the masking tape.
i.rodriguez Okay, I will have to try your method on an old piece of tile. By the way, I saw someone use an awl and hammer to create an indentation before drilling, but I thought that ran the risk of chipping the tile.
She said drilling the hole was laborious. I bet she didn't switch the drill to hammer mode.
Yeah, she probably forgot, but I don't think you want to use the hammer on the tile... you will defenetley crack it. You only use the hammer part on masonry, not drywall or wood.
You have to remember that most of the time, what cracks the tile is a combination of excessive pressure from the drill and the lack of support behind the tile. So when you try it on and old tile, make sure it has a surface that will support it well and stable. Don't put it on a peace of cloth or a rag or something like that. I installed the handicap bars of my bathroom using that method while being on a wheel chair. There where 12 screw holes I had to drill for that job, and none of the tiles cracked.
Be safe! And let us know how it went for you.
Super informative and funny! Love it! Thanks so much for posting this!!
Superb! Thank you so much for the helpful informative guide! I can just hope that I manage to perform as perfect as you did without shattering my tiles. Best vid on the topic from the many many other ones I've seen.
P.s.: Great to see the younger generation of ladies now not limiting themselves and not overlooking tools and technical work and enjoying having their toolboxes. Rock on! =3
hey...i love julia
Nice
you remind me of Kate Winslet. thanks for the video!
Don't push so hard! let the drill do the work. She almost put he drill through the wall @ 3:11
amazing :) :)
really good ভা ল
I wish you an excellent development
The plug should be pushed past the tile otherwise tightening a tapered screw can crack the tile.
Watched every frames .... 😎 😎 😎
This is the most irish video I've ever seen!
drill in my heart☺️☺️☺️
Omg ... this! This comment ... I'm adding this to my sweet-talking lines. xD
@ 4:20 you mentioned "I should go get a towel now to make sure it works" when I installed one of those, I never really knew if it worked because I never even put a towel on it. by the way, you look sexy handling that powerful drill.
I've been using the masonry bit because the wood one did not work. So far I have made progress bit it took me more than an hour and i am still not through the tile...
could you explain the numbers on the drill thanks
