Re: Drilling into concrete ceiling

said by Sc0tt:

... you should use a hammer drill to drill the holes, but it can be done with a regular drill and a masonry bit. it just takes longer.

Just curious - How does one avoid hitting a reinforcing rod? I'd hate to start drilling then be stymied by one of those.

Use a strong magnet and locate the rods.

one doesn't avoid rebar. you just make a new hole.

there are devices to sense rebar but they are too expensive for me.
