I totally agree.

I cringed, and said "oh no" to myself when I saw this described as a carbide hammer drill set. I can only imagine the carnage these bits would incur in glass and ceramic tile when used in hammer drill mode of your cordless drill. These are NOT traditional carbide masonry and concrete bits designed to be used in hammer drill mode. These are glass and tile carbide bits, designed for lower RPM drilling, a lot of times with water cooling to make small holes in glass and tile. DO NOT Use these bits in Hammer drill mode. This product description is very misleading and should be changed.

As a side note, Amazon is the only one that lists this bit set in such misleading fashion. If you do a Google search on Bosch GT3000 every other retailer still lists this set, as a glass and tile bit set, including Boschs' own website.

This is actually a glass/tile bit set I used this exact set to successfully drill through floor tile without cracking it. There are a number of reviews questioning how long the bits last - I only used it briefly and it worked for my project.

However this is NOT to be used with the hammer function on a drill. It used to be called "Glass and Tile Bit Set"

From the description:

QUALITY: This glass and tile set includes a high-quality carbide tip with a reinforced head to reduce stress, prevent bit cracking and the diamond ground cutting edges provide a longer life
VERSATILE: Perfect for common applications such as relief holes for glass cutting, bathroom and shower installs, drilling and fastening mirrors, setting concrete screws in tile and many more

Always take theirs and slick deals prices with a grain of salt. The regular prices are always heavily inflated

Definitely not for hammer function, haven't tried Bosch brand but at the price willing to.

Durability coincides with application, slow and steady will prolong life, heat is the enemy that dulls, when we core numerous holes in tiles we carry a spray bottle with water to keep everything cool and cutting smoothly, it really seems to help extend the life of the bit.

I just paid twice this much for a Bosch set half this size (with just the smaller sized bits) from Canadian Tire for a project I was working on in December. I don't have any planned need for this set, but picked one up 'just in case'. Oh Slickdeals! 😜

Are you suggesting that that is not the "list price" because others sell it for less? From Amazon:
"The List Price is the suggested retail price of a new product as provided by a manufacturer, supplier, or seller."

"List prices may not necessarily reflect the product's prevailing market price."

Should be noted this is useless for porcelain tile. And if you're tiling skip ceramic for porcelain.
