Battery operated tools are also electric, but I think you mean corded and cordless.

Because if you don't hold it firmly, or better yet, clamp it, the drill bit may grab it and spin it rapidly causing damage and possible injury.
Drill bits are sold in increments of 64ths, 32nds, 16ths, 8ths, ect. They are also sold in increments of "numbers" from 1 to ?. 1 being the small size.

Use a masonary bit. If you are able to fasten at the mortar joint, it drills easier.
It is a normal, straight drill bit, as opposed to the type with a tapered shank for use in industrial drill presses.

A person called a locator steers the drill head, he has a lil box which tells him where the bit is, how many ft deep, and what direction its pointing, 12-12 oclock, and then he tells the driller, and the process goes from there
