What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the drill bit's exceptional performance on ceramic, porcelain, and glass tile, reporting clean, chip-free cuts and efficient drilling. Most users highlight durability and minimal wear after multiple holes, though success depends on proper technique—starting at 45 degrees, using low RPMs, and continuous wetting significantly improves results. Some reviewers experienced bit bending or premature dulling, often attributing failures to improper handling rather than defects. Overall, most consider it highly effective for hard surfaces when used correctly.

Paid more $ for something better that was not.

Would Not Recommend

Used for 6 holes and on the 7th the bit twisted in half and broke. Drilling Lowe’s ceramic tile made by Allen + Roth. A masonry bit finished my job.
