I have only used the smaller masonary bits so far to drill pilot holes in my poured concrete walls in my garage. After 45 or so holes the bit seems to be holding up pretty good. I would buy this set again but I don't think I am going to have to for a while.

This is really a great price for this variety of masonry drills, especially when combined with other items to get the free shipping. I usually pay at least 1/2 this price for just one drill.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought including two 5/16" drills instead of one 5/16" and one 3/8" was a little skimpy. 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" are probably the most frequently used sizes. I wouldn't expect a 1/2" to be included at this price, but even if they had to charge a dollar more, the 3/8" would have been a valuable addition. Better yet, put out a 3 piece set with just 1/4". 3/8" and 1/2" at this kind of price.

Skill makes good products, and this can be included in that group. One can't have enough of these for projects around the house. I've used them in concrete and brick without any problems. Suggest keeping the pressure moderate so as not to heat the tips up, and they will last longer.

Product that was shipped was defective - broken case. Was not as good a value as other that I saw later, too. I would stay away.
