I am in the process of installing a handrail down to my basement. I need to
attach two of the rail mounts to a cement wall. I spent a few hours trying
to drill into the cement--- very slow. I am using a 7/16th drill bit from
TrueValue-- it is new and I haven't turned the tip "blue." I got one set of
holes done (I need to go in about 1 1/2", but it took forever. Are there
better drill bits out there that might speed the job? I have a conventional
corded drill, not a hammer drill.


This TrueValue drill bit -- it is a masonry bit?
