DEWALT DT6952-QZ Masonry drill bit-Set (5 Piece)

just needed a few masonary bits to add to other drill bits that i have and this does the job perfectly. not too expensive.

Item was delivered the next day and the drill bit sizes will cover most of your needs

All OK

My dad's words still echo in my ears. "If you haven't got the tools, then you can't do the job" Trouble is, like me, my dad was rubbish at DIY.The low point came some months ago. I was doing the church grounds, tidying and sweeping leaves etc. I came across a massive paving slab that I could not move. I managed to 'walk' it to the back of the church. I uncovered a great hole about 2feet x 1foot which presumably used to have a proper grating/vent. I was frightened a child or someone's precious dog/cat would get in there so I hastily covered it up using the grill from an old barbecue. It cost a fortune for a new grille of this size, so I made one using a mitred wooden frame and some mesh from a local DIY store. It wasn't great, but from a distance it didn't look too bad and at least it was safe !I then needed to drill the brick at four points to enter plugs and then screw my home made grille in place. Well, I was exhausted. My poor old drill needed recharging twice and even then I could only manage three holes - 2 at the top and one midway at the bottom.It struck me that I was using masonry bits of my dad's that were probably over 40 years old as he passed away round about this time.I ordered this new set of masonry bits from Amazon and have not looked back. Okay, I have been fortunate to have reviewed some wonderful cordless drills, courtesy of Vine but these drill bits have brought jobs, that I could never have even contemplated let alone attempt, within reach with effortless ease. Curtain rails, brickwork, bathroom tiles - all are now better not say - easy peasy - but certainly have been carried out neatly and correctly.The latest review from Amazon is a case in point. It is a wall-mounted organiser.I measured the gap between the two keyhole mounts at the top. Please note there are actually four such mounts but I don't try to get ahead of myself.I thought of using a template but they are precisely 32cms apart at the narrow bit at the top.I marked this on the brick using a pencil and then another mark 32cms away. I checked it was level and then gave my pencil mark a hefty knock with a hammer and a sharp masonry nail (a punch would do just as well)This then created a nice little recess that hopefully would keep the masonry bit in place.I started using the smallest one and went in to the depth of the plug I was planning (hoping) to use. I then increased the diameter until the correct size for the plug was used. The plug went home with a teeny tap, the screws went in and the organiser was hung at first asking; level and secure.Okay this is simple stuff but the satisfaction of completing even a small job like this raises one's confidence for the next job that one has to do and without doubt these drill bits have not missed a beat in assisting me along the way.

Brilliant and they do the job well.

Good value item, good price and delivery.

excellent value for money

I think this is a great vlaue for money set. I keep them in my dewalt drill cases so I always have them on hand when on a job. They will last a long time drilling dense block and house brick if you keep them cool. I have a cup of water close by and dip the bit in it between each hole I drill. I get about 30 - 50 holes in house brick (quailty old house brick, not new-build house brick) before I've worn them out. Without cooling the bits I'd get about 5 holes in and would have blunted the bit.Dewalt extreme bits are better no doubt, but for the money these are a no brainer just to have in your case.
