    You will not get a 70mm drill bit you will have to use a core drill.
    Might cost you £20 - £30 so you might be better hiring one.
    Make sure you buy one that is deep enough for your brick or block work.
    Word of warning you cant use sds or hammer action with a core drill you will knacker it.
  • thanks will check out the hire shop
