Review: super drill bit I recommend - I bought a Bosch drill bit because I had previously dealt with this company. I had used their tools, which unfortunately were not as good as other brands and that is why I gave up on them, but the drill bit met my expectations, it is durable, works well in concrete and normally also copes with stone. I drilled holes for mounting fence posts, it worked quite well, small wear after drilling 16 holes in stone. I recommend, it is worth considering Review: Good quality - Last for long time good quality. Several bore holes performed and bit keeps going. ## Features - EFFICIENT: The Bosch SDS-max carbide-tipped rotary hammer core bit features an effective wave design to transfer energy for up to 40 percent speedier drilling versus other bit designs. - POWER: With an integral shank, the HC8526 offers better power transmission and is designed to allow smaller hammers to drill larger holes. - VERSATILE: This core bit is versatile in application with materials including concrete, brick, and block. - DIMENSIONS: The Bosch HC8526 SDS-max core cutter measures 2-5 8-inches in diameter.
