What Customers Are Saying

The drill bit performs well for certain tile types like ceramic, but may not be suitable for harder materials like porcelain. While some found it effective and efficient, others reported issues with the bit dulling or breaking after just a few holes. Customers suggest using a diamond bit for porcelain and buying multiple bits for larger projects to ensure durability.

Decent

Would Recommend

Hard to stay centered. It’s best to pre-drill your hole first. And you need to get it as close to the diameter of this drill bit.

You probably need to go slow and use water

Would Recommend

Overall I liked this product as I needed it to drill through a very thick tile and it started cutting right away without difficulty. However, I'm not sure if I used it incorrectly - either at high speed or a lack of water to cool the bit - or if this tile was just too tough for it but either way it basically only lasted one hole. So overall it started out great and if they provide better guidelines for proper use it would be better.

I would recommend for precise drilling.

Would Recommend

Drilling tile you want the hole exact for mounting hardware. I chose this drill for the tip and it preformed perfectly with no walking.

Useless in ceramic tile

Would Not Recommend

The package shows this bit is suitable for ceramic tile. I found that it can barely make a dent in ceramic.

Could not even drill one hole

Just bought this last week to drill through natural stone. Used water spray to cool and couldn't even complete one hole. Very disappointed.

Rubbish on ceramic tile

Would Not Recommend

I can't understand the other five-star reviews. Maybe I just got a lemon, but after ten minutes, all this bit produced was a mere divot barely a couple of millimeters deep. This wasn't any special tile, either; simply builders grade ceramic tile. I guess I'll have to try a diamond bit.

bits only last for 2-4 holes in tile

Would Not Recommend

The title says it all. Bought on April 14 2022, used for holes in ceramic tile in bathroom for hanging towels racks. Threw used bits away on April 15 2022. Just barely got through 4 holes with the same size bit.
