Drilling through breezeblock: no drill

[mike004]

Telephone cable passes through a drilled hole in the breezeblock wall between two rooms in my 70s bungalow.
The telephone cable emerges through a plastic disc with a hole in it, to give a neat appearance, rather than emerging through the wallpaper.

* I want to remove the phone cable and make a bigger hole to take a coaxial TV cable. But I don't have an electric (or manual) drill. The breeseblocks must be 2 to 3 ins thick, say. Can I make a neat and effective job using just my existing tools -- nail punch, bradawl, assorted screwdrivers etc.

* Trunking/neat finish options for the above, please.

Thanks
Mike

Buy a drill, cheap ones cost practically nothing now.

can if youre carful and attack it from both sides, but as eddie says you can buy a drill for under £20.00

your gonna ruin £20 worth of tools doing it your way and you may also loosen the plaster on the wall, either buy one, you will be surprised how often you will use it or you must know someone with a drill.

Yes, you are all right. Time to buy a drill.
I have seen some £15 ones in Wickes which will be OK for basic DIY tasks.

Yes,once you've actually bought one,you will probably never use a screwdriver again,either (and wish you'd got one years ago..)
