If you are trying to decide how important masonry drill bits are, then there are two basic questions that you need to answer. The first is how often you drill into masonry. If you are doing so on a regular basis, then they should be considered an essential tool, however even a casual user can benefit from having them in the tool box. The second question is how efficient do you want to be. If you opt to not use bits designed specifically for masonry, then it will take much longer to drill each hole because you will need to drill at a much slower speed to prevent cracking or breaking. Plus, spending a small amount on masonry drill bits can allow you to use other tools that you already have like a metal hole saw instead of buying hole saw blades and arbors designed for masonry.
