Will these penetrate mortar/bricks? bend-less?

my guess is that they will not work with mortar or bricks, but I haven't tried using them for that purpose. They are so much better at the usual task than others of the same size though.

Honestly don't know. Used them to go thru hooks for hanging pictures. Goes thru Sheetrock like a dream and u can pull it right out with your fingers. No need for hammer to remove. Hope that helps

I've only used them on drywall. They've never bent on me like the regular hanging nails.

If you bent them a little yes but they aren't big enough for that. There is about half an inch that hangs out. Im sorry.

They are heavier gauge than any I have seen in the stores, and do not bend easily, but need to insert into soft ground, not anything hard like clay or hard packed dirt.

I don't think they would be particularly effective, and the effort would likely get you a jagged hole (at best) or a broken shell (at worst) and ruin the bit in the process. A set of masonry bits for drilling ceramic tile would probably be more suited to the task.

Yes, you can easily bend them, especially if you use wide-jawed pliers. They will not break.

Yes you can bend them very slightly for pre travel. Add the Allen screw is for over travel.

No. They're pretty strong. It would probably take plyers and a hammer to bend them.

They are flexible, but like any metal, if you bend then too much, they'll crease. I use mine primarily for measuring barrel to cylinder gap on revolvers, so there's not a lot of hard core bending going on. Hope this helps.

Definitely not on the brick. The brads will penetrate plaster and lathe and just like drywall will have better bite if you catch the framing. They bite on the lathe, too, so random shots have more chance to catch something.

These are good for wood, or light gauge sheet metal. Impact bits go into a rotary hammer for concrete and masonry, they generally have carbide tips. Dale

You can bend the fingers, not easily, but they won't stay bent.....so i would say no.

NO! Look for bits labeled as masonry bits. They have a completely different tip.

No not really... They are metal so they can come down a bit if need be but it is not designed to bend.

They are wire and will bend, but stay bent once you do so. These are pretty small, but I find them very useful. I don't think they will hold up to a LOT of heavy scrubbing, though.

They bend some but not alot. My ceiling is almost 8 feet and they clear the ceiling just fine. Hope this helped.

I actually haven't tried them for such an application but it is my impression that they will break. I would use much higher quality high speed steel drill bits for non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum.

I bought these specifically for metal and they are excellent. For concrete, I would choose bits specific for masonry.
