I pushed the drill a little too hard from the other side. Didn’t realise the damage I’d done until I came around the other side to my wife shouting and screaming. ¯\(ツ)/¯

    This will happen every time you use a hammer drill because that’s just how they work - by hammering.

    Protip: use way smaller bit first to go all the way through as a pilot hole, then use the size you need and drill from either side to stop it from blowing out like this.

      Also with older/crappier walls you may need to use one size smaller than you acutally need.
