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.

Tough bit

Would Recommend

After ruining two bits I had on hand trying to drill an anchor hole in 50 year old concrete (for cryin' out loud), I bought two of these. Didn't need the second one. Six holes, no problem. WHAT were they using for aggregate back then?

BREAKS EASILY

Would Not Recommend

Usually I purchase Bosch masonry bits for driving tapcons, but grabbed this one instead. It doesn’t have a hex shaft so gripping is an issue, and on the 5th drill it broke right at the drill chuck. I have done hundreds of tapcons in my life so it is not user error. Back to Lowe’s, and over in the tool area were the Bosch bits. They last me years, not minutes. I’ll finish the job in the morning.

Masony Drill Review

These drills are worth every cent. And they stay sharp for a long time. Drill through cinder blocks like butter.
