Nice. Did you end up with a Bosch hammer-drill bit or did you use the tapcons? I've never had any luck with the tapcon bits, they just turn into cheese after a hole or two.

Drilling at high RPM speeds will F up drill bits. Tapcons are an industry standard. Slowing down your bit may help you out.

I used a Bosch bit and it drilled into the concrete with ease....prolly drilled 6 holes in less than 2 minutes... For fun I tried drilling with my regular drill and nothing much happened..

It's kinda funny that one of your concerns is how much it weighs. :owned:

Usually people use tools based on purpose. ;)

Meh, I've always drilled at the lowest speed my hammer drill can go. True to the name, hammer-drilling is about hitting the concrete with a hammering motion, not carving the material and ejecting it. A simple inspection of the drill bit tip reveals this. The tapcon just doesn't work well. I don't know if the concrete I was drilling into was especially hard (it's 100 years old, so possibly?) but every time I've tried one, the tip just melts into a piece of shit. Bosch has worked just fine for me. Their bits are probably about 6x more expensive but as long as you're not a fool, you should only ever have to buy each size once.

I'm sure it's in a very developmental stage. Photography would be misleading.
