Well I hope it was because of an inadequate drill (I do not own a rotary hammer drill) because it took me at least a half hour to drill one 1 1/2" hole depth.

I managed to drill 8 holes for tapcon screws in a concrete porch to install handrails before it broke.
In the drill bits defense I also destroyed three more bits before I gave up on the entire project.

WASTE!!!
Attempted to use two separate brand new Tapcon screw bits to drill hole into brick for Tapcon screws. DO NOT BUY. Neither drill bit did much drilling

Not up to the task
Not including taking breaks to minimize a hernia risk, I probably spent 30 minutes and two bits drilling one pilot hole, and I'm not even sure I'm done yet.

This drill worked well to prep the concrete wall, don't forget to use a "regular" drill to pre-drill the wood being mounted to the wall.

My previous 5/32 carbide bit was worn and I have no means of resharpening carbide, so I bought this with a box of 3/16 tapcons. Works as it should.

Follow the instructions and it works great. Goes in just like a screw, no need for a anchor if any kind
