I bought this drill to drill through a brick wall so I can run cables. I went about 3/4 through the brick and the carbide tips fell off. I have contacted Bosch regarding this and they have stated that it is NOT designed for drilling into brick although the description says it is for masonry. By definition, brick is masonry. I had an argument with Bosch and in the end they reluctantly agreed to replace the racquet. Bosch needs to change the description of this drill to NOT include masonry or at least state that it will NOT drill brick.
