I needed to run a 1" PVC Conduit through a 10" solid poured concrete foundation wall. The PVC outside dimension is 1 3/8" So this made a hole just slightly larger. It is an SDS Max bit and I only have a regular SDS hammer drill but I happened to have a Max to standard adapter that worked just fine. It took me about 15 Minutes to drill through the wall. I am not positive but I think I also hit a piece of rebar during the drilling as things slowed down for a little bit but if I did, this got through that also. It should be noted the 15" length is not the length of the drilling bit part but the overall length. The bit part is right about 10" so it was all good. After the drilling the tip still looked good and hadn't really dulled much so overall I am pretty happy with this bit and the outcome.

This drilled through a 12" concrete foundation with no issues and no visible wear.

Drilled 8 holes in 8” poured foundation walls

Cheaper than box store and worth a purchase

If you're going to drill a lot of holes into concrete, do yourself a favor and buy a drill designed for SDS-Max bits. The difference is amazing. Before, we were using SDS-plus bits with powerful drills, but it took my mason on average 1 minute per hole. After switching to SAD-Max, he drilled similar holes in 15 seconds. We were amazed, and the guy has drilled many thousands of holes in his life. I had never head of the Sabre brand of drill bits, but it's the only brand I could find in the size that I needed. It performed beautifully, drilling hole after hole, as if it were into butter, and yielding as many as 70 holes per bit. vs. about 40-50 for the SDS-plus bit. I will be looking again for that brand in the future.

Needed a drill for using Dexpan to break rocks. It was really easy at about 1" per minute without having to press on drill very much. Put in qty 3 holes about 12" deep.
