This drill bit went through 50 year old concrete without any issues. A great product and the only masonary bit I will buy in the future.

I needed to drill 4 holes in brick to mount a flag support. I attached this bit to my Ryobi impact driver and drilled the 4 holes in less than 1 minute. This method was far superior to using a regular masonry bit on a drill.

Purchased this so I could mount a jbox to a cinderblock wall. I don’t have a hammer drill but with my M18 impact driver, this bit made easy work of the holes. Well worth it.

Worked great in concrete – no swearing required
Cydney Haag (verified owner) –
Did the job but didn’t last very long. Literally one day, about 15 holes.

The bit did a great job drilling holes in concrete block and the acme brick on my home. It went through the concrete blocks with little effort. The Acme brick was a little more challenging but the bit still worked great.

Bought it but had to switch over to a true hammer bit for a Hilti hammer drill to get the job done quickly. For a home over it fine, but for professional type jobs you need a true hammer drill and bits

Like cutting butter is what this bit did to stucco. Save me a lot of time installing a security gate.

I actually used this bit to drill through hardened steel as nothing else seemed to be getting the job done. I will say, the hardened steel did destroy parts of the tip with each hole that was drilled. All said, I went through two of these bits, eventually completely destroying both drilling 11 holes through 1/8” hardened steel, with oil, slow speed, and lots of pressure. As I noted, no other bits were getting the job done. So, concrete bits might just be the answer if you ever find yourself in a similar tough spot.

Having one bit that drills through so many different materials is great!! Wood, plastic, tile, concrete, metal, all are no problem with this bit!!
