Exceeded my expectations

I bought this drill bit to drill 2" blue rock + 6" concrete. I had never drilled Blue Stone before and was afraid it might crack or chip but this bit stayed true and helped me quickly. There are no issues with the concrete passage at all - I was amazed at how quickly I was done.

Pros
  • Stone Drill Bit
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Low Rock Drill Wear Resistance

The first hole was decent, but by the time I started drilling the second (a small boulder in the yard) the drill was badly worn. Maybe it would be nice for concrete or masonry, but old-school boulders beat this thing after 4 inches of drilling. Really disappointing for a trusted brand like DeWalt.

Pros
  • Rock Drill
Cons
  • Requires Rosette
