Poor sharpening and machining accuracy however when nothing better available kinda does the job...

This set works well, as I've used a couple of them to drill into porcelain, a glass canning jar, and a ceramic bath tile, to test the quality and speed with which they drill into these materials. They drilled into each of these materials effortlessly, with just a little water dripped onto the center-point/tip of the drill bit before beginning and one time half way through. These bits (unlike my other set) have four cutting edges, which I realized provided a much smoother, quicker cut into these materials. Although I used a hand drill to do these tests, you'd never know it, as it appears in each instance that they were drilled on a drill press, as the entire hole from front to back looks so perfectly smooth. The bits almost pulled themselves down, permitting me to press downward with less drilling force, which I didn't expect either. Ultimately, I am very pleased with these bits and thus, highly recommend them to others. I cannot yet speak to their longevity, as I've only hardly used them but in my case, they showed zero damage to the bits themselves. However, if over time, they fail or wear down excessively quick, then I'll update this review accordingly.

The sad thing about masonry bits, and this applies to every one that I have ever used, is that they have a very limited lifespan when doing what they are designed to do. I would like to see masonry bits that can drill many holes in concrete before they wear out, but so far that has not been my experience across a number of bits and brands.For testing these, I used the smallest bit to drill a couple holes in a cement block (see photos). As there are duplicates of the smallest size, I was able to take a photo side-by-side showing the used and unused condition of the bit. What is good is that the drilling tip is still sharp and able to cut after drilling two holes. What is not so great is that the flutes along the length that remove the dust are significantly worn. I was using a hybrid wet/dry method - I started with the bit dry but then repeatedly dipped the bit in snow for cooling as I went along, which resulted in adding water. I am not sure this is the best way to do it, but I figured it is much better than doing it without cooling of any sort (I've destroyed bits quite quickly in the past without cooling).I did the drilling with a regular quick-change driver drill, I did not use a hammer drill. Hammer drills are typically quicker, but they do apply additional impact stresses on the bit, so hammer drills may cause these bits to wear differently. Initial drilling went fairly quickly with good extraction, but as I got deeper into the hole the dust was turning to mud and clogging up the flutes - probably as much to do with my method as the bit itself, but again, I wanted to keep the heat down. If you used dry drilling all the way this may not happen but there is a heightened risk of overheating the bit - choose your preferred method and see how it goes.If you want to have some bits on hand for whenever you may need to drill a hole or two in concrete/masonry/ceramic, and have a number of sizes to choose from, these are a good choice. If you are looking for a set of bits that will last a very long time, you may want to keep looking. However, I have yet to find any that last really well, I honestly don't know if they exist. Concrete just seems to destroy drill bits rather quickly.

I'm not super sold on these especially considering the value (gets better with the current coupon though).They will get you through the job though. Don't expect amazing longevity...

If you're tackling projects involving concrete, brick, or other robust materials, the JOERIC Masonry Drill Bit Set could be your ideal companion.Pros:- Versatile and Durable: These heavy-duty carbide drill bits excel in making precise holes in concrete, brick, and similar materials. The set provides a range of sizes from 3/16" to 1/2", ensuring versatility for various applications.- Efficient in Masonry Work: Whether it's drilling into brick for a security camera mount or handling concrete projects, these bits deliver impressive results. The 1/4" bit, for instance, drilled through brick effortlessly, providing a smooth and efficient drilling experience.- Distinctive Design: The blue color of the drill bits not only adds a touch of style but also aids in quick identification, helping you distinguish them from other bits in your toolbox. The hex shape of the shank prevents slipping in the drill, ensuring a secure grip.- Hex Shank for Impact Drill: The 1/4" hex shank is compatible with cordless impact drills, providing stability and preventing slippage during operation. This feature enhances the overall efficiency and safety of the drilling process.- Convenient Storage: The set comes in a handy carrying case, offering organized storage for the drill bits. The case adds to the convenience, allowing you to keep the bits securely stored when not in use.Cons:- Not Suitable for Glass or Wood: While effective for masonry work, these bits may not be the best choice for glass or wood, as the blunt tip can potentially damage these materials. The recommendation is to use them specifically for concrete, brick, or similar surfaces.

These are some heavy duty carbide drill bits. They are good for making holes in concrete, brick or some type of rock based medium... pretty much anything really. I own a Milwaukee branded brushed drill and these bits work regardless of the material I selected.Now, I believe that these drill bits really will shine if you own a brushless hammer drill to really pummel whatever material you are trying handle. Just from an observation point of view, I see that various features along the drill shaft will give the user desirable performance characteristics if utilized properly. What I mean is that is other than looking really cool, there must be a functional reason as to why the tips of each drill is similar to that of an arrow head. I think that reason is to penetrate and ‘stab’ deeper into the material using the hammer action of the latest drills on the market.Having said that, I see on the Amazon product listing page that it mentions that these bits are ‘NOT fit for impact drills.’ To be honest, I am not sure why it states that but I think a hammer drill would do a fantastic job because you are ever so slightly chipping away at the medium while you are simultaneously using the rotational action of the drill to extract the particles to the surface. Anyways just my thoughts.In this order I received 10 drill bits in brand new condition. They work exceptionally well and are unique bits, unlike anything I currently own. I recommend them.

So I tried these out, since i've got holes to put into a slab for a carport. Where this states ceramic. concrete, plsatic, brick, etc etc... It didn't do so well in the slab I was drilling. It took alot of oomph to get it going, and the concrete dust wasn't easily extracted. Wound up bringing out an air hose to blow out the holes I was drilling.So, I tried this on a nearby tree, and it wasn't a pretty hole whatsoever. Had some acrylic sheets in the garage, tried it on a corner of that. The hole was cleaner, but it cracked a 2nd piece I tried. Drilled into a sandstone block rather well (sandstone isn't very resistant btw), but still had to air it out via the hose.I don't have any ceramic to try it on, so its a 50/50 chance it'll work or not. Since the tip is a 4 point tip, i'm wagering that it'll do ok since higher quality bits have the same design.I dunno though, take a shot on this. You might have better results than I did, at least for the concrete. I think i'll stick with the bits that come with the tapcons I buy... Good luck!

Maker specifies: no hammer drill, low speed drilling and water cooling. Not worth the expense and extra bother!* UPDATE: HAVE IMPROVED THIS BITS STAR SCORE, AS IT DRILLED AN EXTREMELY SMOOTH HOLE IN GLAZED POTTERY USING A CONVENTIONAL DRILL. I AM STILL OF THE OPINION THAT THE UNSUITABILITY FOR HAMMER DRILLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REVEALED BEFORE PURCHASE. GOOD BIT, BUT REQUIRES EXTRA PATIENCE DURING USE.

These drills are really good quality. They seem to stay sharp longer than the standard concrete drill bits. I really like the cross head it does make positioning much easier. These seem like they will last a long time. It includes 3 - 1/4 inch bits 3 - 3/16 and 2-5/16 and these are the most commonly used for concrete screws. I good value I would recommend them to any DIYer.
