Drills did a good job.

worked as they should

These drill bits definitely do the job. We had to purchase to install a new TV in our garage which had concrete behind the wall. These did the trick.

Milwaukee hit a home run with these hammer drill bits. I really like the way they bore. I had zero problems drilling into a very hard fired brick. In my experience if you can drill fired brick, cinder block and concrete will be a breeze. I ran water the first time I used it and dry the next. Both times it bored just great. The only small hit I have is getting the things out of the packaging. It was not until I cut the, very thick, plastic case to pieces that I saw I could have cut the paper around the middle of the case and it would have just slipped up and off. Would have been nice if they had written “cut here” at the bottom of the paper label. Anyway, the important thing is they work and work very very well.

The hammer drill bits come in various sizes and are made of sturdy material. The bottom end is easy to fit into an impact driver. They are rather long to accommodate various jobs. I tried on a brick and it went in quite deep easily. I used the hammer setting in the drill and you can feel the impact it punches. The bits seem very strong and likely to last many years for small DIY jobs. The container itself is not user friendly. I recommend making a parallel cross cut on the label rather than taking it off. The container has a bottom and top lid, but you are probably better off storing it in a different container or on a pegboard.

Good quality, fit and finish. Fast cutting through concrete

Even a small, cordless hammer drill effortlessly drilled up to 5/16″ hole in solid concrete. Carbide tips are ground precisely for excellent cutting properties.They are designed to eject drilling dust even in a vertical hole, so they do not seize up or bind during drilling small, long holes. Ideal to drill holes for Tapcon fasteners. This set of drill bits fits a regular hammer drill chuck or impact drill (hex shaft).

It is great, cuts through concrete like butter.

I would like to say that this drill bits are the best, I was able to pass the concrete in second with my Ryobi Drill. Incredible how good they work. I highly recommend them.

I used the 3/16“ bit to open holes for Tapcon ¼” x 2-3/4” screws into concrete using a Hammer Drill. I was happy to see that they went through the pine 2×4 and ‘marked’ into the concrete footing with ease and made 6 holes 4” deep. The bits are 6” long so they easily made holes deep enough. I also removed the 2×4 to easily make full 4” holes. I only got a slow down once but punched right through with light pressure on the hammer drill. The dust cleared easily and when I pulled back to clear it about halfway down, not much more came out. I used compressed air to clear the hole before starting the screws. The bits are only rated for an Impact Driver on ‘Cinder’ blocks. Impact Driver is NOT recommended for concrete or brick (see photo of back panel). Cinder blocks are made of cast concrete with aggregate. The bit punched though the block easily and smoothly with my Impact Driver. A similar slowdown when I hit some aggregate but easily pushed through it with a slight pressure on the Impact Driver.Compared to other bits I have tried, I can say these were fast, smooth and long lasting. This is what I expected from a Carbide bit and it showed very little wear when done (see photo). I highly recommend these bits.

Does very well drilling through concrete.Note: contains 7 pieces – 5 different size drills as there are two 1/4 and 3/16 bitsNote: The storage box comes apart in the center – feel under the label

Awesome and work easy on concrete

The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is that the 5/32″ but snapped in the first use. I bumped up to a 1/4″ bit and was able to drive the entire bit into a cinder block without fail. It was one of the first times I used my hammer drill function on my Fuel drill, and it was impressive how quick it blasted through. Looking forward to putting these through the wringer. The packaging that can be used for storage is a nice touch

This is a great 3 piece carbide drill set from Milwaukee. It includes the following sizes: 5/32, 3/16 and 1/4. Including the 1/4″ hex shank end, they measure approximately 5 3/4″. They are ideal for impact and drill drivers. The back of the package shows the recommended usage.I set out to mount a new trellis on the side of my brick house. I only used the 5/32 bit, but I must say, it cut through the mortar very easily. I have used plenty of carbide bits in the past. This bit made short work of my project and hardly wore off any red paint on the bit!I look forward to using them for some future projects.

Bits were used on old concrete. Along with hammer drill they went through concrete easily. However, bits look fairly beat up. The real test will be when I need to use the bits in the future.

Outstanding performance, definitely recommend!

Se me hizo mucho mas fácil

I drill through concrete easily and I was very happy because it normally takes so long to drill holes at my house outside but then realized the smaller bit bent so I returned them. These are long so seems flimsy.
