I live in an old victorian house. Some of the walls seem to have pebbles inside then you get so far and there is flint, the drill won't go any further. Its a nightmare putting anything on the wall!

Is there anything I can use to drill through this stone?!! Thanks!

The first drill to try in this situation would be a standard hammer drill. If this was not powerful enough you could try a SDS Hammer Drill.
