What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this drill bit for exceptional performance in concrete and masonry, reporting excellent cutting speed, sharpness, and reliability when paired with a hammer drill. Many note it outperforms competing brands with superior dust clearance and sustained sharpness through multiple holes. Most users successfully drill through tough materials including decades-old concrete. However, some customers report premature dulling after just a few holes or bending during use, which occasionally prevents proper screw installation. Despite these occasional failures, the strong majority consider it highly effective for masonry tasks.

Lasted less than 5 minutes.

Would Not Recommend

I made it less than an inch into my garage floor and this thing was toast. Incredibly disappointed is an understatement. Waste of hard earned money and back to square one.

The concrete bit from Lowe’s works great for Tapcons—cuts fast, stays sharp, and makes clean holes. Definitely a dependable bit for masonry work.
