What Customers Are Saying

The overall sentiment towards this product is mixed. While some found it effective at drilling through various tile materials, including hard surfaces like marble and granite, others experienced issues with the bit dulling or breaking after just a few uses. The bit seems to work well for softer tiles like travertine, but may struggle with harder materials like porcelain. Drilling slowly and steadily, and potentially using a pilot hole, appears to yield the best results, as going too fast can cause the bit to overheat and fail prematurely. The durability of the bit is inconsistent, with varying reports on its lifespan.

Don’t last

Would Recommend

It works great and fast but only for 1-2 holes. It burns up way too quick. But it is excellent before it burns. Try to keep a lot of water on it to stay cool.

One drill hole per bit

This product is only good for drilling one hole into porcelain, then it is useless.

Needed to get through a limestone block

Would Recommend

My daughters class sculpture needed a more stable base and I had a limestone sample block that was perfect. I needed a bit to get through the stone and this worked perfectly. Used a 2 1/2" deck screw and it looks fantastic now!

Will work in non-hammer drills. Just dulls quicker

Would Recommend

Made quick work on ceramic

Cuts well, but a little tough to start.

Was a little skittish starting on ceramic tile, but with a little tap, it settled in and drilled through easily. I’d buy it again if needed in another size.
