    I don't want to make a hole too big ... Use drill bit 12?

    It still depends on what material ...
    Generally like a pin or 12 mm
    If you do not want to break the hole too much, first drill ? 6mm with impact, and then 12 without impact. You'll get a bit tired but the hole will be precise. And bear in mind that what is called a stroke in a supermarket car makes only a lot of noise and the benefit of hard materials is very little.

    You dimension your drawing wrong. The diameter of the hole should be equal to the diameter of the pin, but measured not on the flange, but on the neck. Sometimes the diameter is indicated on the pins. May be less than 12 if there is a key 13 for the bolt. Probably ?10. Do not start drilling from this diameter, it will be hard and the drill will slide off the point.

    I have a Bosch GSB 1600RE drill, I think it is ok, but I have no comparison to others.
    Drilling into the wall from the outside for the antenna mast clamp.
    I just don't have a drill like this yet. What type exactly to buy?

    EDIT: The drawing is from the Internet Link

    The drill should be the same as the diameter (outer) of the pin - it should be written on it - you can also measure it with a caliper, but in the place of these "rings" in the middle of the pin, not at its end.

    In order not to make too large a hole, I suggest using decent drills (especially with this diameter) and a drill that is not too worn out - if it will have too much play (beating to the sides :) ) the hole can be "drilled" and have a larger diameter than the drill bit used.

    I guess I had the website open for a while and didn't notice that many answers ;)

    We have not found out what material this wall is made of. Differently with concrete, differently with bricks and differently with cellular concrete. But for a brick (not a block) and a strong fixation, I would take a diameter of 11 mm. In case of problems, zoom in. The drill is not a fortune after all.
    In the following statement, the colleague is right as long as he is sure what is dimensioned in the drawing. What if there is a collar? And there are pegs with collars. I have often managed to pull out the peg or at least turn it.

    Gentlemen, are there any jokes? After all, a child from primary school knows that he drills with the same drill as the diameter of the dowel, its name says it "expansion plug" that is bursts out in the hole. Drilling with a bit of a smaller diameter will either prevent the dowel from hammering in, or the screw will twist when screwing in. And believe me, I turned a dozen or so thousand of them.

    You don't need an impactor for a brick ... and I would even turn it off so I wouldn't throw it on the other side of the hole ;) . If there are not many holes, an ordinary market drill will suffice. I even drill holes in a brick with a cordless screwdriver (18V).

    Speaking of drilling and fastening in various building materials, I will go to the topic. What kind of patent would you recommend for gypsum board because an ordinary wall plug is a failure?

    There are special wall plugs for k / g boards, the so-called butterflies.

    Butterflies sometimes turn when tightening (especially if the hole does not come out quite as it should)

    I recommend pegs in the shape of "drill" (I don't remember the professional name) - they are a bit better for regips - I have failed several times on "butterflies"

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the appropriate drill bit size for installing expansion plugs, specifically whether to use a 12mm bit. Participants emphasize the importance of matching the drill bit diameter to the pin's neck diameter rather than the flange. Recommendations include starting with a smaller bit (e.g., 6mm) to ensure precision, especially when drilling into materials like brick. The Bosch GSB 1600RE drill is mentioned as a suitable tool for this task. Users also discuss the impact of different wall materials on drilling techniques and the necessity of using appropriate wall plugs for specific applications, such as gypsum board.
