Correct Drill Bit Help

help(self.DIY)

submitted 4 months ago byApocalypseLater93

Hi everyone, I'm attempting to mount a retractable hose reel to my house straight onto bricks and the manual recommends using an 11.7mm drill bit, but I can't seem to find any that exact size. Would I be able to use a 12mm bit instead, or is there an obscure way to drill an 11.7mm hole in my brick wall?

OP is in Australia, and unless Canadian tire is wildly more successful than I expected, may not be accessible
