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.

Works perfect but torque pressure not on label

Would Recommend

Great bit for drilling in old or new concrete. Must have a hammer drill don't apply too much pressure and vacuum the hole before screwing in the bolt. You will also need a torque wrench so you don't over tighen.

Only 20 holes

Would Not Recommend

Have bought over 12 bits to do a project because they break after 20 holes. Putting Versetta stone on a concrete basement wall and the most I get is 20holes and the bit breaks. Sad part is I have no other choice. Will be picking up 4 more to keep going on the project. Even though they are made for an SDS drill. They can't handle a SDS drill. The hammer feature destroys these bits. It eats them for lunch even on a slow speed setting.
