I'm concerned you don't understand how fantastically non-dull this is.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

At this point it seems likely they have at least one dull drill bit.
A dull, and valid, point. So to say.
Man, you guys are sharp
Carbide/diamond rotary hammer bits don't really "cut" as much as they turn concrete into to dust a little bit at a time. Interestingly, that dust then help to abrade any steel you might encounter along the way.
Looks pretty boring to me.
You know the difference between drilling and boring? Drilling is when you use a rotating tool to make a hole, boring is sitting around and talking about it.

I figured a hole is too dull, but a hole in a vault puts it right into the sweet spot
Oh come on mate, you can’t just post lower effort comment and get more likes
I'm the Confucius of shitposting.
If a meme shits in your post, does it make a sound?

I worked in a place that was built on a vault. They used it for storage. I wouldn’t go in but they showed me, and told the tale of someone who did indeed get stuck in the vault a few years before.
They installed a phone in there after that happened.
Was the person OK?
They were VERY shaken up, but okay. They were in there for almost an hour. They were found when someone who was still there (working late) was like “uhhhh has anyone seen Marsha?” and nobody had, so they started searching.
The building is large and there are six floors. The vault was in B1.

That folding ruler is the only thing preventing the door to shut close and trap you in the vault forever.
I guess you can drill a bigger hole in the wall to escape.
No, bit there is actually a pice of wood in the door that does that. I wasn't even concerned at all

I mean no offense but I kinda feel people like you and the box guy should be banned from this sub. You guys just don't get what dull means. I just imagine you guys must be like double agent ninja astronaughts so all this stuff is dull to you.
Yeah i can see that. I guess my thinking is that it's a pretty dull job, just cranking the machine until you're done, not something even interesting enough to post. But the fact that it was a thick vault wall, made it just interesting enough to not just be boring. But the reactions here definitely say otherwise.
My heart rate increased just reading this. I bet there were diamonds involved also, you monster!
e: oh no, there were! I think I'm having the vapors.
So much boring makes it mildly interesting to be honest.

Can I take a second to swoon over your instance name?
I hadn't noticed. You're right, that's just...fantastic.
OP is planning something big.
God i wish. Drilling in drom the outaide would've been the ultimate dream.
Nah, man. You gotta build a false wall in tje vault and then hide in it and drill out in the dead of night.
Well damn. I thought about drilling in and then let a cat go through. But so far that only results in a trapped cat.

I have been doing electrical work on converting two different banks to two different restaurants.
Oh boy, getting a new cable inside the vault, quite a job.
On other there was door drawn in the plans from kitchen to office. The workers started doing carving the wall in nice door shape. After 20cm (8 inches), they took longest drill they had onsite, and tested how far they needed to still go. It didn't come through the other side. After 20 years today, there is door shape 20cm incline in the kitchen.
Put your...
Anyway today, the boys and I at the emergency room had to remove a concrete doughnut around a very twisted...
Why?
For glory.
RIP the little that was already left of my brain, after I figured it out :p
Hey i'm just a guy with a big drill.
But i think to hook up a vent, because it gets reused as a kitchen.

We've seen the hole, we've seen the door, to complete the story can we see the drill?
Unfortunately i underestimated how interesting it is. So i already went home.

Dude.... you've got to give specifics. How long did it take, what type of bit, how many, all the good stuff..
From start to finish it took like 3 hours. But a lot of the time was making sure the water doesn't go everywhere and because there was no close water access, i had to use a manual water pump thingy, which i had to refill again and again. The bits are pretty much all the same, some diamond crown bits. They last quite a long time if you don't overheat them.
