Designed with a reinforced head and a cross-arrow triangle tip, these bits provide accurate positioning and smooth penetration. Each bit is equipped with a 1/4-inch non-slip hex shank that ensures a secure fit in power, hand, and bench drills. These versatile bits are suitable for a wide range of materials, including glass, tile, wood, ceramic, brick, and concrete.
The OKODOKO Masonry Drill Bits (10mm, 5-pack) are ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who need a reliable, versatile solution for drilling into hard surfaces like tile, concrete, and glass. These bits offer superior precision and reduced slippage thanks to their specialized cross-arrow design and reinforced titanium coating, though they are specifically sized at 10mm, limiting their use in projects requiring smaller or larger hole diameters.

FAQs
Can these bits be used in an impact driver?
Yes, the 1/4-inch hex shank is compatible with most standard impact drivers.
Are these suitable for tempered glass?
No, you should never attempt to drill into tempered glass, as it will shatter upon contact.
Do I need a hammer drill setting for these bits?
While they work with hammer drills, they are often effective enough for softer masonry on the standard rotary setting; check the material density before enabling hammer mode.
What is the primary material of these drill bits?
They are constructed from durable carbide and finished with a titanium coating.
Can I use these for metal drilling?
These bits are optimized for masonry and ceramic; while they may work on thin metals, dedicated HSS (high-speed steel) or cobalt bits are recommended for better results in metalwork.
Are these bits resharpenable?
Due to the specialized cross-arrow geometry and carbide construction, they are not typically meant to be resharpened and should be replaced once the edge is dull.
Troubleshooting
Bit slipping in the drill chuck
Ensure the 1/4-inch hex shank is inserted fully into the chuck and that the chuck jaws are tightened securely.
Difficulty drilling through very hard tile
Use a water-based coolant to prevent the bit from overheating and reduce speed to prevent cracking the tile.
Excessive vibration during use
Check that the drill speed is appropriate for the material and ensure the bit is properly seated in the chuck.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Versatile application across multiple material types
Non-slip hex shank provides a secure hold in most chucks
Titanium coating prevents rust and improves heat resistance
Reinforced head design minimizes the risk of tip breakage
Cons
Limited to a single 10mm diameter size
Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial reinforced concrete
Requires proper cooling technique when drilling glass or ceramic
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The 1/4-inch hex shank is designed to fit standard impact drivers, corded/cordless power drills, and bench-mounted drill presses. Ensure your chuck is fully tightened around the hex geometry.
Drilling Tips: For hard, fragile materials like glass or tile, apply water as a lubricant to cool the bit during operation. For masonry and concrete, apply steady, firm pressure to maintain progress.
Care: After use, wipe the bits clean to remove dust and debris. If working in moist conditions, apply a light coat of machine oil to the shank to maintain the integrity of the steel and prevent surface oxidation.
