What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these masonry drill bits for cutting through concrete, brick, and cinderblock with exceptional ease, often completing six or more holes per bit without failure. Most users highlight strong performance and durability, particularly when paired with a hammer drill. Many note ideal sizing for Tapcon screw installations. However, some report inconsistent durability, with bits dulling after just a few holes or breaking prematurely, suggesting potential quality control variability. Despite these concerns, the majority consider them reliable and effective for masonry work.

Tapcon bits are the worse and do not recommend !

Would Not Recommend

I had to drill 10 holes 1 1/4 inch deep into my brick house and after drilling 2 holes using a hammer drill the bit was wore out. So I had to buy 4 more drill bits to finish my job and for the price I paid for 5 bits, 1 bit should have lasted the entire job. I wish I would have checked somewhere else for a different manufacturer. I would not recommend buying this Tapcon drill bit, especially when it cost me $35.00 to drill 10 holes.

Wait

I received an email about my order being complete and ready for pickup at 1pm, I arrived just past 4pm (right after work) and waited a whole hour for someone to finish the order because whoever out it together missed 3 items. There was one employee who really showed hustle and got things moving but it was still an hour wasted just waiting.

Buy the D brand instead - these ones aren’t good.

Would Not Recommend

Buy the D brand instead - these ones aren’t good. You’ll only get about four holes out of them with a hammer drill.

Worked perfect with the screws

Would Recommend

You will need this drill bit. I've in the past tried to use a similar sized bit, and it doesn't fit as snug. Pair this with the correct size screws and you'll have no problem. After, I keep the drill bit in the screw box and it's always there. Great product, highly suggest if you mount boxes on concrete often.

Good but doesn't last

Got the job done after buying two more. It works good when new but wears out pretty quick. Wish I just got a ramset for my basement floor.
