    Lol, bunch of good and funny replies, thanks guys.

    It's a new bit and it's just concrete and I know it will be quick and safe but the old fear just keeps poking it's nose in my business

    "just concrete"...I hope you mean cement.

    Concrete has the stone things in it (plus maybe rebar), cement does not.

    I've drilled through rebar infested concrete before. Think I broke half a dozen bits (didn't have any carbide ones with me).

    lol yeah that'll be fine. Don't drill to close to the edge of a brick though...they chip/break. Thumbs width room in all directions should be enough unless its a really kak brick.

    Drilling into the brick will be strong than into the cement.

    For stuff like that, it'll also be best to use rawl bolts, not just wall plugs and screws.
