Advice on Xmas gift needed, pls!

[FishWife]

I know practically nothing about tools. Scott wants to be able to drill 3/4" or 1" holes in some of our sump tanks. Can anyone give me a brand name, model #, and exact information such that I can go to HD tonight and get him a drill and the proper bits for drilling glass?

 

TIA as always!

BRK has Glass Cutting Bits for cheap, look there for those bits

HD or Lowes, you can get a ton of choices.

For Drills, go with a either an Electric (Those with extension cords you plug in) 3/8" Drive Drill: Brands: Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Rigid, Ryobi and Black & Decker are good brands in that order of quality (Price ranges too)

My personal favorite: Dewalt

If you go CORDLESS, stick with the same brands listed, but get an 18 Volt model in same 3/8" drive.

Decent Cordless Model: Rigid 18v

-There are alot of PACKAGE DEALS worth looking at too, that includes Saws, Lights, Sanders, etc.

The glass bit I bought at BRK for drilling 1" bulkheads did not fit in my drill, which I'm pretty sure has a 3/8" chuck. It was very close, but the shaft of the bit was just too thick.

 

Very frustrating.

 

Be warned, and be careful. Better to get a drill with 1/2" chuck
