ITW BRANDSITW 79012 Tapcon Pro Install Tool Kit, 1-per Pack

This is basically the same set I've had for close to 40 years but with a pouch. The set I had originally came in a plastic carrying case. It was a great way to carry the tools because you simply just pick what you needed from the case. The pouch is stupid because you have to dump everything out to pick out what you need. Not good if you are working in dirt, sand, or even just grass where something will get lost. When I got my set I threw out the pouch and put the pieces I needed in the plastic carrying case from the original set.Hopefully the quality of this set is as good as the original. Like I said I've had the original for around 40 years. It has literally drilled and installed thousands if not ten thousand or more TapCons. Of course not with the same drill bits LOL. The reason I had to buy a new on was stupid. The plastic bands that held the ball bearings in place dry rotted and the bearings got lost in the sand. I guess it was well past due to buy a new set so I had no choice.

First not-so-good is that the gadget uses a grub screw to hold the masonry bit in place and the intense vibration of the hammer drill would shake the screw loose in about 15 seconds--I had to stop and re-tighten it several times for every 3-inch hole I bored in brick.Second, the masonry bit supplied by Tapcon with the screws broke after only about eight screws--it snapped right where the grub screw was holding it. (The bit went on working okay after I remounted it directly in the chuck of the hammer drill.)Third, the hex-driver extension appears to act as a torque limiter--and it limited the torque so much that I couldn't drive a 3-inch x 1/4 Tapcon screw all the way into the brick. (I had to switch to a real 240 ft-lb impact driver and an 80 ft-lb torque limiter to get the screws in.)In short, don't bother with this gadget. It might work with smaller/shorter concrete screws, but not in my application.

Good quality bit driver. Saves time installing concrete screws. Comes with durable fabric pouch. Installed a few hundred screws so far no troubles with this product.

My biggest issue with this is that the 5/16 bit is too deep for normal tapcons, so it never drills the tapcon all the way in. Stupid design.

I like the way the tool is packed. It makes it easy to use, and replace it back in the case for the next job.

once i took my dremel with a metal cutoff wheel to it, the recessed socket aspect no longer made it completely useless. bought tapcons from Fastenal, so it wasnt knockoffs i was trying to use. the drill bit thing worked a treat with the bit that came in the Tapcon box.

Works fine

Very satisfied
