Is Glass Simple’s HEROBIT a good value for the price?

Your choice of drill bit could be saving you money or costing you money. We decided to do a value for money experiment comparing our bit with a competitor’s. Brandon, a professional glazier, drilled through matching 5/16” porcelain tiles with both bits.

He started things off with a Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 48-20-9006 Drill Bit, 3/16”, which drilled 4 holes in 4 minutes but quit cutting on the 5^th hole.

Next up was Glass Simple’s tungsten carbide tipped HEROBIT, 3/16” (HERO316). In its turn, the HEROBIT drilled 12 holes in 10 minutes and was still cutting! Watch exactly what happened in the video below.

HEROBIT is compatible with both hammer and rotary drills and can be used for drilling through porcelain tile, granite, marble, and glass. The HEROBIT is available in 4” and 6” lengths and in 3/16” and 1/4"widths.

HEROBIT is our V-groove drill bit, and we also offer HEROSPEAR, a tungsten carbide tipped spear point bit for rotary drills. HEROSPEAR can also be used on porcelain tile, granite, marble, and glass and is available in two sizes – 3/16” x 2-5/8” and 1/4" x 2-13/16”.

Take the Glass Simple challenge and test our bit against your current favorite. HEROBIT and HEROSPEAR cut faster and last longer than most leading brands, and we’re offering the deeply discounted pricing below when you order 10 or more of one particular type and size – ie a 10 pack of HERO14X6.
