3.4mm Masonry Nails V 3mm Masonry Bit!?

Hi DIYnot,

I am putting down a soleplate for a partition on top of a brick wall. All guides say if it cannot be strapped down to drive in masonry nails instead, that's fine.

However, all the masonry nails I can buy are 3.4mm thick and all the masonry bits are either 3mm or 4mm.

I'm worried if I drive them it 3mm hole they will split the bricks even with a pilot hole.

What gives?
