Carbide Tip went dull after three holes drilled in concrete. Had to purchase a diffent carbide bit to finish job.

I find the bits do not last. I had a bit from a few years back that was hardly used and it struggled to cut into brick. Disappointed.

Worked great! I used it without hammer drill and still performed well.

This Bit was easy to use, however, it did not last as I was expected.

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.
