Review on πŸ› οΈ DEWALT DW5236 2-Inch by 12-Inch Carbide Bit by Robert Howell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

mine was open and didn't work well at all.

When I finally got to my project I noticed the package was sealed with tape. Using a hammer drill, all I had to do was drill a hole in a 9-inch concrete wall poured in 1976 with this new bit. But it was "made" in 3 inches. I didn't hit any rebar or metal along the way. Not sure if it's been used before or if it's horrible quality, but it was horrible nonetheless. Used it as a chisel to do the rest. Take it out of the drill bit and hit it with a 3 pound hammer to break up the concrete a bit, then drill through 1/2 inch and repeat. Unfortunately, my project was past the return deadline and I don't want to return a cheap item given Revain's canceled invoices due to "Excessive Returns". weekly for me on Revain, but that wasn't one of them.

Pros
  • Hammer drill bit
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
