What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these masonry drill bits for cutting through concrete, brick, and cinderblock with exceptional ease, often completing 6 to 8 holes per bit. Many highlight strong performance, durability, and carbide construction, with reviewers noting ideal compatibility for Tapcon screws. However, a notable group reports premature dulling or failure after just one or two holes, indicating inconsistent quality. Most emphasize these bits perform optimally only with a hammer drill, and several caution against using standard drills. Despite durability concerns from some users, the majority consider them effective and worthwhile for masonry applications.

Tough bit

Would Recommend

After ruining two bits I had on hand trying to drill an anchor hole in 50 year old concrete (for cryin' out loud), I bought two of these. Didn't need the second one. Six holes, no problem. WHAT were they using for aggregate back then?
