I have used Bosh and DeWalt SDS bits and am having problems with both. I
am using 5/32 for tapcons and they dull fast or break. the Bosh seem a
little better, but not what they should be. Are there any quality
alternatives to these two brands?

Do they make SDS that small? The SDS I have have approximately a 3/8"
shank.

Guess so. Dang. That's quite a neck down. My SDS is on a Makita
Rotohammer, and I have bits up to 1.5". Chisel points, etc. I just had a
hard time imagining that being used for a Tapcon. I'd just use a small
hammer drill for a tapcon. If you snap one off, it surely has to cost less
than an SDS of the same diameter. (?)
