What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these masonry drill bits for cutting through concrete, brick, and cinderblock with ease, particularly when paired with a hammer drill. Most report drilling six to eight holes or more per bit and highlight strong performance for Tapcon screw applications. Many describe the experience as effortless and note excellent durability. However, a notable segment reports premature dulling or failure after just one or two holes, indicating inconsistent quality. Despite this divide, the majority consider them reliable and effective for masonry work.

Does the job with limitations

Would Not Recommend

It does the job but it is not as resistant as other brands. Maybe my concrete is too hard or the bit hit a rock in the concrete but the tip was losing sharpness after a couple of uses.

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?
