I don’t disagree. What I meant though was an SDS results in a better hole for the tapcon and more successful driving. At least that’s what I have been told. As I said I don’t have an SDS

I fell for all that, too. Tried a better drill. Bought the special Tapcon bits and drivers. Cleaned the hole like we were doing surgery.... still broke 2/3 to 3/4 of the damn things...

Oh shit, well that halts my own desire to splurge on an SDS for tapcons then. Guess I’ll have to find another use to justify it hahah

They are absolutely fantastic for making holes! Also crazy good for removing tile (with a flat chisel bit). Just pick some other concrete fastener...
