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.

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.
