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.

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.
