Left-to-right, in the case:
3/16, 3/16, 3/8, hinge, 1/4, 5/32, 5/32, short-1/8

Bosch quality, of course, so no matter how cheap your hammerdrill,
the /drilling/ should work well-enough
( bits matter more than the motor, for any given hole,
just as the saw-blades matter more than the saw-motor, for any given cut ).

For a spare-set, a second-set, an emergency-backup, or to just give to new help,
this's the best basic hammerdrill set I know-of.

Obviously, if you're doing a lot of tapcons,
you'll need the Bosch Blue-Granite tapcons drills...
they've got 'em in batches, iirc,
certainly they've got 'em in 6-packs: 3 smaller & 3 larger.

( pro tip: if you EVER want to renovate what you're putting in now,
then use tapcons, not ramset/hilti-nails:
the powder-powered nails SPALL the concrete bad, when you break 'em off.
Tapcons can be broken straight off, leaving a much cleaner ceiling/wall/floor )

The case is typically Bosch over-engineered -laughing-
if your toolbag demolishes the case before your bits die,
you ran over the toolbag with your truck, your friend's truck, and the bulldozer too!

Also, of course, being Bosch, you can stand the side of drill-holders up
( the red plastic flips up ), OR, if you prefer,
you can get just the bit you want out,
and stand IT in its perpendicular hole
( the holes we can see the shafts through, on the front of the red plastic ).

For hammerdrill/masonry bits, I don't buy any other brand: Bosch are bestest.

( for metal I buy good cobalt bits, and for wood I get lee valley HSS bits )

Cheers & HTH!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!, August 26, 2010

I haven't used a hammer drill very much yet, but after recently using the Dewalt DCD970KL I broke two cheaper bits attempting to drill into concrete. I purchased this set and was amazed at how fast and easy these bits drilled holes in concrete. I would highly recommend these bits!

August 18, 2011: I have used these bits on numerous occasions with my hammer drill and still, they cut quickly and without a hitch! After far more than 100 holes, the same bit keeps cutting like a hot knife through butter. Highly highly recommend.

These bits work great through cement and go through pretty quick. The only thing is that since they are round, they may catch and just spin in the drill.
