Bear with me on this comment as it's kinda long. Being an above average DIY'er, I've pretty much taught myself over many years now how to tackle almost any type of repair work, which has included working on most any vehicle, constructions jobs and Home Repairs, but not just for myself. I've helped a lot of friends over the years that just didn't have the skill set to do their own repairs, and too DANG CHEAP to get someone else they'd have to pay top dollar for to do it for them, thus this is where I always came into play, lol. Now to the "Meat" of the story. Once I discovered the Freud Diablo Demon Line of blades (first one I purchased was a reciprocating saw blade) that was it for me. I'll never use another brand again. I'll use-up my remaining DeWalt and other various blades I have laying around, but I'll only buy the Freud Diablo Demon Line of cutting tools when the need arises in the future. Can't wait to get some of these Masonry Bits! But so far I can't seem to find them For-Sale anywhere here in the USA? Anyone got a lead on where these can be purchased from here in the USA? Thanks! Don't make me have to buy them from the Brits, lol. But, I will if-in I have to. :-)

I love how Vince puts them on the spot, to get the answers people want to legitimately know while testing these marketing guys on their knowledge.

Diablo is killing it with their new product line!

Pretty amazing stuff! Thx for sharing & for all your coverage on Diablos new offerings 👍🏻

I would really like to know what type of rebar cutter that guy was talking about getting for when you hit rebar😂

Great demonstration and video!👍😍👍

Great video and demonstration vince

Interested in giving these a try. Rebar typically kills a bit almost immediately

Great KZfaq page. Kristina Smallhorn told me about your page. I am in the South NJ Area and I am always shopping for new equipment in Lowes and HomeDept.

It’s all those magic pixies they have sprinkling the fairy dust over the new bits😂

That is pretty awesome

Looks like the Hilti CX and YX bits, which are amazing!

I love how they used different sized bits with the heat test larger bits takes longer to heat up then smaller bits

Them rebar demons are nice

First of its kind? I realize this vid is a year old but Hilti has been producing TE-CX drills for a few years now. I love that these Diablo’s are less than 25% the cost of TE-CX so I just ordered one to try, just that it is not first to market

Interesting !

sweet exhibition

Diablo! Fighting chicken. 👍

Wow, I guess the engineers are going love this drill bit 😳

Simplemente perfecta

Super 👍

Nice sir 🙏 Ji

Maybe ask, "What's the most number of times it has hit rebar in any manner before failing?" Or "What's the range?" I can see avoiding the general question of how many times, but people can't crunch any numbers at all unless they have some idea of how many times they're likely to get out of their bit. As customers buy and try them out, they're going to find out anyway, so why not at least give an estimated expectation? You know darn well that they have the answers in their metrics after a ton of tests during the engineering stage. So why not share the findings? Also, if they provide the information, they get to control the narrative as to how they arrived at the numbers and why those numbers are cost effective. Once others are using them, they will come up with their own interpretation of what those numbers are and some will be convinced that it's cheaper to do the extra work with their traditional methods, when they might actually be looking at things the wrong way.

Goooood

Test it against a hss tap for retreating spark plug holes

Just a thought. To see how it's actually cutting the rebar, wouldn't it be possible to just drill through the rebar on the outside portion of the concrete?

We appreciate you

Diablo not first. Driltec has had a full line of these for several years and they are excellent.

How does this bit compare to the Bosch version of this type of bit?

When is it coming out??

The carbide was forged in not welded in. Softer steel is used for the body harder steel is used at the tip. They can also use a variable heat treat to get that result.

Need to go pick up a 3/8, 1/2 and 18’’ x 5/8 ASAP. Tired of my Bosch getting stuck and not going through the rebar 🙄 👍👍👍 Using the Milwaukee m18 2715-20

Where can I buy one? I can’t find them anywhere....

I need help finding these

Hi. I need 7/8” for sds Max, where can I found?

Hilti is the king of Drill bits

Shall I use rotation only (without hammering) mode when hitting the rebar.

When you hit the rebar is better to switch from hammer function to normal until you go through rebar ? And then switch again to hammer mode so the carbide head will last longer ?

That's handy for me. I drill concrete everyday, mostly 6mm holes. Does it come in metric sizes Vince?

That look impressive it drill faster then the normal drill masonry bits

DIABLO SPEED DEMON any dealer at jakarta Indonesia?

I would like to know if you know how to drill through a concrete slab and not blow out the concrete out the back of the slab is there a way that you know of if there is you please let me know

Nueva línea

Unfortunately not a side-by-side comparison, and which Hilti bit did they use (TE-CX)? Over here the Diablo cost about twice what a Hilti TE-CX would cost you, or about 3x the price of the Bosch 7x/8x. A comparison with the latter would be great, as they performed well in side-by-side comparison (the fastest to go through concrete with 10mm steel plates).

Not that I want to,but will it droll through post tension cable?

Why cutting through rebar?is it danger for construction right?

But aint it weakens the stracture

Shiiit!

All though I like the Diablo I feel that this comparison was not on the level since they didn't give Hilti a chance to see what it could do and more specifically they gave the Diablo more time to cool down since the Hilti went first

They purposely made the metal more brittle by quenching and complained the competitor bit was flawed?

Depends 😂

Hay I just wanted to say before on your live stream When you mention my name the two Spanish guys at work for me I told him you were my cousin they were joking around and I said to you I'm going to Home Depot do you need anything and when you read that it was perfect I really thought you were my cousin after that it could have worked any more perfect thanks I'll talk to you later brother have a good night

I dont like it!! What if you hit a utility line. It sounds great if you know what youre drilling into.

This is nothing new, have you heard about Hilti?

Hilti is No1 after Hilti 10 palaces are empty..., so they can make the same video with compare the drill bit that Hilti won because Hilti is Hilti...

Bet tile will destroy it, just trying to hang a handrail in a shower! Tile is a summumma bit eater!

Yeah because rebar is meant to be cut through

What complete and utter bullshit!

Diablo is cheap crap, so far I have had nothing but short life out of their products
