What Customers Are Saying

This masonry drill bit is generally effective for concrete, cinder block, and tile drilling, cutting through materials efficiently with minimal effort. The bit is durable and long-lasting, able to drill numerous holes without significant dulling. However, some users found it struggled with tougher concrete or had issues with the carbide tip coming loose. Overall, the drill bit is considered a reliable and effective tool, especially when used with a powerful hammer drill, though a few customers felt it did not fully meet their expectations.

Good for 1 hole

Would Not Recommend

Disappointing that the more expensive Bosch named product did not work for me on more than 1 hole. I will now consider masonry bits single use and trash.

works like a charm

Would Recommend

Drilled 4 holes, its still going. We’ll see how long it lasts. Carbide tip looks good and strong, no dulling or chipping so far.

No ordinary rotary drill will work

Would Recommend

A Lowes associate recommended this product to me for drilling pilot hole into concrete. But he failed to mention that I need a hammer drill that will drive it into the concrete. After using my regular rotary drill, the bit barely made an dent. I purchaded a hammer drill as the item stated in the i structions and it worked fine. I made 3 deep pilot holes for my door jam.

Bosch masonary drill bit

Would Recommend

This product was great. I drilled over 50 holes in cinder block with a hammer drill and it is still a working tool. For $8.00 a no brainer

Don't Waste Your Money

Would Not Recommend

I bought a 5/32" bit to just drill 8 holes in my 38 year old slab. The first hole took incredibly too long. The second hole was just too much for this bit. The tip had gotten smoothed out on the first hole. It was very frustrating seeing how much I spent on it. The packaging states very proudly that it has a "Long Life In Concrete." This bit did not.

May work better in a Bosch drill

It's not obvious from the packaging and display at Lowes but this bit may be designed specifically for a Bosch drill. The top of the shank is hidden by the packaging so not obvious that's it's not round all the way to the top. I had to reposition it carefully to get a smooth spinn without the bit whipping as the trigger was pulled. Luckily I found a spot that worked otherwise another 40 mile round trip for a low dollar item and wasted time. I don't own a Bosch drill so I don't know what kind of ...

SDS is the best way to drill a whole in concrete

Would Recommend

With a whole this small this is the best way to drill in concrete. Don’t expect a ton of life as the aggregate you drill through will take its toll on drill life.
