Product Information

Full details

The OKODOKO 3mm Masonry Drill Bits are ideal for DIYers and professional contractors who need a reliable solution for precision drilling in hard materials like tile, glass, and masonry. Featuring a reinforced carbide construction and a specialized cross-arrow tip, these bits provide excellent stability and clean entries; however, users should be aware that the 3mm diameter is quite slim and requires careful handling to avoid snapping under high torque.

FAQs

Can I use these bits with an impact driver?

While the hex shank fits an impact driver, it is recommended to use them in a standard drill to avoid excessive torque that could snap the thin 3mm bit.

Are these bits suitable for drilling into reinforced concrete?

These are best suited for softer masonry, brick, or ceramic. Hitting steel rebar will likely damage or destroy the carbide tip.

Do I need to use water when drilling glass?

Yes, using water or a cooling lubricant is highly recommended when drilling glass to keep the bit cool and prevent the material from cracking.

What is the total length of the bits?

Each bit in this set has a total length of 78mm.

Can these be used on metal?

These bits are specifically designed for masonry and brittle materials; they are not optimized for drilling through metal.

Troubleshooting

Bit slipping in the drill chuck

Ensure the 1/4-inch hex shank is fully seated into the chuck and the chuck is tightened securely.

Bit overheating and burning the material

Reduce drill RPM and apply less pressure; use a small amount of water or cutting fluid to keep the tip cool.

Difficulty starting the hole in tile

Ensure you are using the non-hammer/rotary-only setting on your drill and maintain a slow, consistent speed until the bit penetrates the glaze.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Non-slip hex shank provides a secure, stable grip in chucks
  • Titanium coating extends the lifespan of the bit by resisting rust and heat
  • Specialized tip design allows for accurate starting on slick surfaces like tile or glass
  • Compact 78mm length provides good control for detailed work

Cons

  • 3mm diameter is fragile and may snap if tilted or used with excessive lateral pressure
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty impact drilling in reinforced concrete
  • The thin profile limits depth capacity to the length of the flute

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply insert the 1/4-inch hex shank into your drill's chuck and tighten until secure. These bits are fully compatible with standard power drills, hand drills, and bench-mounted drill presses. For maintenance, ensure the bits are cleaned of dust and debris after each use to prevent buildup. Periodically check the carbide tips for signs of dulling or chipping. Always store them in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the titanium coating and prevent rust.
