Best Masonry Drill Bits in 2027

The WORKPRO 48701 ranks first on our spec score. It has an SDS-Plus shank, so it locks into a rotary hammer without a chuck. The tip is carbide, which holds its edge in brick, concrete, stone and masonry. The set has 17 pieces. The listing says 12 are drill bits in four groups of different lengths and sizes.

The flute is U-shaped. That shape moves dust out of the hole, which helps the bit run cooler. The set also holds two point chisels and three flat chisels, so it covers chipping as well as drilling. Set weight is 1 lb. The maker doesn't publish a diameter range or a longest bit length, so check sizes before you buy.

A storage case is included, so the bits and chisels stay together. The listing says the set works with SDS-Plus rotary hammers from Bosch, Makita and Milwaukee. It suits anyone who owns a rotary hammer. It will not fit a standard chuck drill, because an SDS-Plus shank needs an SDS-Plus tool.

The TGFTGF 720201 ranks second on our spec sheet. It also has 17 pieces, which ties the highest count on the page. The shank is SDS-Plus and the tip is carbide. Suitable materials are listed as concrete, brick, stone and tile. That list includes tile, which the leader does not name.

The listing breaks the set down. You get 12 concrete drill bits in four sizes, two pointed chisels, two flat chisels, one tile chisel and a case. The flute is U-shaped, which clears chips and dust. The maker describes the tips as YG8C carbide and says the chisels suit tile removal and grooving. Weight, diameter range and bit length are not published.

Because the diameter range and longest bit length are not listed, you can't compare reach against the others. That matters for deep holes in thick concrete. On paper it is close to WORKPRO, with a tile chisel in place of a third flat chisel. Pick it if tile work is on your list.

The Bosch HCK001 ranks third. It is the only product in this top five that publishes both a diameter range and a longest bit length. Diameters run from 0.1875 in to 0.5 in. The longest bit is 6 in, which ties the highest on the page among the models that list it. That reach helps with deeper anchor holes.

The set has 7 pieces with an SDS-Plus shank and a tungsten carbide tip. It is the heaviest set listed at 1.37 lb, among the models that list weight. Suitable material is given as reinforced concrete. Bosch says its brazing and hardening process is tuned for long life, and claims 15% faster hammer drilling compared with its S4L.

Seven pieces is fewer than the 17 in the two leaders, and the listing names no chisels. The bits come in a case. The flute design is not published. The listing also calls the carbide tips tougher under heavy loads. It is the simplest of the five to match to your anchor sizes. Choose it for drilling only.

The WildBossy XBWZ-01 ranks fourth, and it is a different kind of product. The shank is hex, so it will not seat in an SDS-Plus rotary hammer. The set has 10 pieces with carbide tips. Diameters run from 0.15625 in to 0.5 in. The maker does not say whether it is hammer drill compatible.

Suitable materials are glass, brick, plastic, cement and tile. That is a wide list, so it reads as a general-purpose pack rather than a concrete specialist. Set weight is 0.95 lb. No case, flute design or longest bit length is listed. The listing text only says one case of 30 packs, 30 count total, which is unclear about what you receive.

Honest fit: for hammer-drilling into concrete or block, it is the weaker match for this keyword. It lacks the SDS-Plus shank that the top three have. For occasional holes in brick or tile with a plain drill, the carbide tips and hex shank may be enough. Check the pack contents before ordering.

The Milwaukee 48-20-9051 ranks fifth. It has five pieces, the smallest set in our top five. The shank is hex, with the listing naming a ¼ in hex shank, and it is marked hammer drill compatible. Milwaukee says it is engineered for hammer drills and impacts. The tip is carbide, and the suitable materials are concrete, brick, block and hard aggregate.

The flute is wide, which the maker says removes dust faster and cuts heat. The listing claims up to 5x life in concrete and up to 2x faster drilling than standard masonry drill bits. Those are maker claims, not verified figures. Set weight is 0.4 lb. Diameter range, bit length and a storage case are not listed.

The hex shank adds tool versatility, as the listing notes. It will not lock into an SDS-Plus rotary hammer. Choose it for block and concrete jobs with a hammer drill, when five bits are enough. The maker lists no sizes, so confirm them before buying. It ranks below the SDS-Plus sets because it offers fewer pieces and fewer published specs.
