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.

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.
