Helen shows how to hang a picture on a brick wall.
She goes through what you'll need to complete this task, including how to find the right size screw and wall plug. If you are not yet confident using a drill, this is the perfect tutorial to start with.
WHAT IS POWER TOOLS?
Power Tools is a series of household DIY videos made by women, for women.
These fun, approachable and concise videos give instructions on basic DIY tasks like changing a lightbulb, smashing a window, painting a wall and using a drill.
The videos are part of a project by award-winning arts and social justice organisation Idle Women and were all made in St Helens, Merseyside, UK.

  • Very good and informative. As a former mechanical engineer I still found this useful as I have never gone into a brick wall before. (until later on when my masonary drill bits get delivered) 😁😎

  • I came across this channel because I was looking to do a simply DIY install of some racks and maybe even curtain bars. I didn't grow up in a stable home or with parents/people that were in a place to teach me these things so never learned any of this and want to just overcome that and become more handy myself. I'm so glad I found this channel - youtube is a great resource but I find it a bit intimidating sometimes being a young and extremely inexperienced woman trying to crack into this stuff!! Thank you!!

  • As a man, women in these comments need to stop putting themselves down. You don’t need a man to help you with appliances and stuff, you’re smart enough and capable. Don’t let sexist ideas prevent you from completing tasks. If I ever have a daughter, she’ll be taught to be capable of independence and to ignore sexist ideals.
