At first it worked fine, then it broke on the second use

bought 2 same size concrete drill bits by different manufacturers. The Bosch Bulldog failed completely, got nowhere, on 3 holes. The Milwaukee drilled the 3 holes quickly and easily.

Worked great in concrete – no swearing required

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.

Drill was easy to use , it lasted long if use with water.

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

Drill bit lives up to it’s “multi-material” name. Drilled through stucco, foam board, sheathing and into studs needed to install ledger boards during patio covers install. The bit remains fairly sharp after close to 100 hole usage. I will buy again if need arises.

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.

Did the job but didn’t last very long. Literally one day, about 15 holes.

Fastest, sharpest masonry drill I have ever used!

It’s a great name and product, but like all tools… they wear out sooner if you force it. Let the tools do the work and you will have them for a very long time!

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

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.

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.
Romaine Bashirian (verified owner) –
The drill bit worked wonderfully. Very little effort that i had to apply. Also the bit remained sharp after yhe job was complete.
