    So I got an Hardie Secure Ground Anchor, went to fit it tonight but the drill bit is so big (size 16) it won't fit inside the drill. Does anyone have a really big (cordless) drill that would work? Or anyone fancy a quick nixer to help me fit it? Looks relatively simple

    If you're going into hard concrete you might have to hire one, plus two bits (a smaller bit to drill a pilot hole), thats what I'd to do with my anchor~ well worth the money to know its in good and proper.

    Is it just an SDS drill you need to borrow?

    Edit: I'd say it's an SDS you need. Might be able to pop over to you tomo evening, I'm only up the road from ya

    I have that anchor too. The drill bit in an SDS drill will eat through the concrete in about 10 seconds.

    Yeah looks like a beast! I thought it was supposed to come with an alan key but mine did not. Hopefully I can find one big enough. Any idea what size it is?
