Answer This Question

Hi there - thank you for contcating us. The 5/32"x 3-1/2" Masonry Drill Bit is designed for use with rotary hammer drills and may not be suitable for a standard hammer drill. For optimal performance, it's recommended to use a drill that matches the bit's specifications. Please feel free to call us at (800)222-6990 or email us at tapcon@itwbrands.com, if you have any questions.

    Is this #11256 a Tapcon SDS or standard drill bit? I see these two drill bit types explained at https://www.tapcon.com/products/drill-bits/ but not in the specifications at Home Depot. Thank you!

    Answer This Question

    This is the standard drill bit. The SDS drill bit is Tapcon 3/16 in. Carbide SDS Drill Bit Model # 11491 listed on Home Depot at https://www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-3-16-in-Carbide-SDS-Drill-Bit-1-Piece-11491/202097024 (found the answer to my own question)

      Answer This Question

      Hi there, a hammer drill can be used to drill the hole. However, a rotary drill is required for the installation of the anchor. Thank you.

                  Should just give up on making bits
                  I bought one of these to install four screws. It wasn't getting the job done. Check the bit and the carbide part was just gone and the tip looked like a tiny two prong fork. Back to the store for another bit. It twisted off in the hole. Back to the store for a different brand bit, Bosch, and it got the job done. At this point, I think Tapcon should just give up on making bits.

                    Gets the job done!
                    Used this to attach a flagpole base to the house. Made the job very easy, drilled through to the block and allowed for a tight fit with the anchor screws.

                    Fresh bits are a time saver
                    I use Tapcon fasteners for all my concrete applications. I buy fresh bits for different jobs. The cleaner the hole, the better the grip. Fresh bits make the task easier.

                    Tapcon ALWAYS
                    I have used Tapcon fasteners for years. I always like to use fresh bits when drilling into poured concrete. After all, the hold it much better with properly drilled pilot holes. Many of the larger pack screws have a bit included however I feel a fresh bit is needed to finish all the fasteners in the package.

                    Not performing as it should be!!
                    Got this to drill 8 holes on tile/ concrete to install a handrail for my stair with 1/4 in. x 3-1/4 in. Hex-Washer-Head Concrete Anchors as recommended. About the 4th holes with my hammer drill, the bit tip is completely gone, had to go get another one to finish the job, the 2nd bit didn't work well when I get to the 8th hole. Finally get all 8 holes drill, clean the holes with compressed air, try to install the screw, but it was so tight that I can barely screw it in about 1-1/2", and when I try to go further, it cracked my porch tile!! Now I need to find a way to make the holes a bit wider in order to fit the screws without further damage my porch's tile!!
