OK, what's the trick. This stuff just laughs at a Tap Con bit in a
hammer drill (the carbide tip ends up melting) and if you try to shoot
a tap con screw in it, you get a nail. It wipes out the threads. I
just bought some Bosch super bits ($10 a pop) and I am trying them
tomorrow. They say they will eat concrete with rebar in it.


Diamond drills and a lot of patience. Being able to use a drill press
helps but I doubt that's an option for you.
