I'm trying to find a bit that will work with a cordless drill and will drill through grout/cement in a shower - will these bits work?

Yes, these should work fine with a cordless drill. I used an 18 Volt DEWALT cordless drill/driver and the large bit from this set to cut through a thick masonry planter for my garden and it worked great. Most grout and cement board is fairly easily drilled through even with a old fashioned hand drill.

Yes, they will drill through grout and cement. Be careful as if they hit the tile they could cause tile to crack.

These may work ONLY if your drill has the power to do the job - 18 WATTS or higher...

Depends on the power of the cordless drill and whether it is hammer operated. These are masonry bits, so they are supposed to drill through concrete, stucco, and brick. Read the reviews. Personally, I used them to easily drill through stucco, but I used a corded hammer drill.

These bits will work fine on your drill press, chuck will close down to size of bit installed, happy drilling!

These are not masonry drill bits. I wouldn't recommend that. However DEWALT's DW5207 drill bits set would work.

Hi, Linda!Not sure if this will meet your needs, but I really haven't seen anything that would be better. If you have a way of holding the bead steady (perhaps a small vise) and a small enough bit, this should work. Because it is a hand drill, you can control the speed and depth of the hole. The only other suggestion I have might be a dremel tool. Note that the tool itself is smaller than a power drill, but not tiny. I think it will handle the smaller bits okay, though.

Absolutely, just make sure to use a lower speed on the drill and don't stay in one spot for too long. The bristles are sturdy and can remove grout..great product though, happy cleaning!

No it is not....these are not the type of bits that are used to drill into either concrete or stone. The type of bit that you need is called a Masonary drill bit. You can buy them in kits, but they are normally purchased individually when you know the size of the hole that you will be drilling. It is advisable to use a drill that either has a reciprocating capability or to use a full tilt rotary hammer (often referred to as a Hammer Drill), the later being more important if you are going to be drilling larger diameter holes, especially if they are deeper. Hope this helps.

It works with any drill bit, cordless or corded drill doesn't affect this hardware.

This drill will use any standard drill bit. Also, there are no bits included with the drill.

Don't even try. You will ruin your tile. Get a diamond tip drill or hole saw for tile. Low speed and try to keep it wet. If you want to drill concrete I will recommend these bits. Have drilled at least 500 holes with the 1/4" and 5/16" bits and still going strong.

Of course it will work, but only as wax tool. For polish, you'll need more speed that only a corded drill would.

sure they are just 1/4 inch small shank drill bits. Just start out slow and brace it well to get it started or you can sorta angle it to geta cut going Put some water where you want to cut too.they are easy to use maybe take a practice cut on a scrap tile or sumthin

I am not an expert but I think with a concrete drill bit, it would work....

It probably would... the bristles are very stiff and it would be hard to use to clean grout using a drill.

You can use any drill bit that has a 1/4" hex shank. Amazon has many different brands for sale. Go to the Amazon search engine, scroll down to tools & home improvement. Key in (drill bits with 1/4" shank) and a wide selection of bits will come up. Any questions, you can contact Dewalt at 800 4dewalt. Good luck

I would like to correct something. Tiles in bathrooms and showers can have 1/16" spaces, quite narrow. Some companies make drill bits with a 1/16" tip and a 1/8" shank that will fit most power drills.

It will work, but your results will not be as good. I use mine with a porter cable 18v cordless drill sometimes. I can get good correction with it, I just have to work the area about twice as long.For heavier corrections I use my Dewalt corded drill.

Julie, I use both a cordless battery powered drill and a corded electric drill. Battery for small quick jobs and the corded for longer duration jobs like grout and tile cleaning a large bathroom. Hope this helps! : )
