Has anyone ever tried to squeeze concrete 'butter' into cracks between stones with these things? If so, does it work?

No, I've not tried to do that, but the frosting I use is *very* stiff and these have held up to A LOT of pressure when I've needed them to...

Yes they work. Used them last weekend, worked great, concrete needs to be on the "soupy" side but these bags made the job so easy with no clean up. Icing a cake will be a piece of cake...LOL

i used to squeeze sanded grout into cracks/joints. no blowouts or breakage from these bags.

Absolutely. I have used it to break up 150 linear feet of concrete footing that ranges from 3" to 6" thick. My personal preference is to use the flat bit, not the pointed bit.

I agree with Jason. You will break them unevenly. It is a good product but better for wider tiles.I tried using it for 6 x 24 tiles, and broke 30-40%, then used the wet saw to cut them and worked better.With square tiles it worked lot better.

I used this tool for concrete counter top, the counter top was already flat because it was cast in a melamine form, and these disk will polish that surface perfectly. These disks are only 5 inch diameter so they wont grind down uneven spots in 200 sf of brick tile. A 7 inch concrete wheel may do this but I doubt it would help with unevenness. Probably a commercial style floor grinder is what would be needed.

Actually I did do that when cutting slabs of cement for a wall. The tool performed just fine. I just didn't like the thickness of the blade and considered it a waste of my time so went back to the thinner masonry blades, not to mention what a waste of money on the diamond blade. Perhaps you found a different blade than what was available here.

It would work for that but be careful at what level of coarse you use. This is only the coarse stone, you may want to finish with a finer grit, after using the coarse finish with fine, this will insure a closer fit in the end. they clean easily and remove steel like sand paper on wood. Hope this helps.

No you cannot. It is mainly for initial cracks that have about 1" spikes or less. 'The spikes will disappear and the small stone chip hole will be filled.

I'm pretty sure that it's really not intended for that. Really read through the reviews many posters put some very detailed answers. I believe small cracks and chips/spiderweb cracks is where this product works best.

We have 3/4 in crushed stone and it does work if it is fairly packed. It is much more difficult than on pavement. If it was a packed dirt / aggregate road I believe it would be fine.

Should work okay as long as you comb the sand and make sure there's no larger stones. Also works best if your using coving as well.

No way! It only works 50% of the time. I would definitely not trusted before breaking up concrete.

No, these bits are not made to drill into concrete. You need special concrete/stone bits, and you will likely also need a drill with 'hammer' capabilities. Unless this is something you plan on doing regularly, I would go to a tool rental place, ask them for recommendations, and rent the right solution for your needs.

One has to cut a window on the stone. If you have a flat smooth surface, it should work but I always cut a small window to make certain. The surface always has to be extremely clean

I had this exact same problem. They were wedged together and my husband and I pulling together could not get the two pieces to separate. What I ended up doing that finally worked is this: Take two butter knives and stick them under the two tabs pushing them all the way up till you can see the tip of it coming through on the other side. Work them back and form and then start tugging. These seems to dislodge and unstuck it enough so you can get the two pieces apart. They work fine after this! It seems like they got pressed too tightly together during manufactoring or maybe the plastic dimensions are fiting just a bit too snug. I noticed from other reviews that when some people opened their product it was not "stuck" in all the way - whereas mine were completely pressed together where I could not see any of the ribbed bottom part. I think that may be why they became stuck. Hope this helps! We got ours apart!

Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

I guest you wanted to cut into the cracks to make a big groove so that concrete can go in. In that case you don't need to cut deep into it. I use it to cut a 1" thick concrete without any problem. Remember to use a water hose to control the dust and prevent the blade getting to hot.

No. I know this for certain, because I've tried it. After multiple attempts, the bit will not go through my concrete wall.
