Craftsman 1/8 x 3" Masonry Drill Bit $0.50 + Free Store Pick-up (expired)

can this be used to drill wood?

How do these compare to carbide tips? I had some cheap tips last weekend similar to these and they drilled perhaps 3 4" holes each before being worthless. Just seems they are disposable.

THanks

can this be used to drill wood?

Back of the packaging says "Fast and efficient drilling of 1/8 inch holes in concrete, asphalt, cinder block, and peep holes in campground bathrooms."

FP!?!? seems a bit obscure for FP.

In my experience, no (keep in mind I'm not a pro or anything, just a guy that does alot of DIY). Better concrete/masonry bits (i.e. more $) are worth it. Ditto for ones with diamond - the ones I buy are made by Irwin, they work really well.

The other piece of it is your drill. If you have a junk drill, the relatively small amount of torque it delivers to the bit make it work that much harder to cut. With a quality, in my opinion preferably corded drill, the bits cut like butter. If you're drilling in to brick or cinderblocks, which is relatively soft, these things may not matter as much. But if you ever drill in to concrete, you will need higher quality bits, and maybe even a hammer drill.

Maybe? LOL

Haha yeah - you CAN drill a hole in to concrete with a normal drill. It just isn't fun.
