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?

My guess is that the size is a big factor. We use Bosch with no problems
but we use nothing less than 3/8" Depends on what you are drilling into
also.

Have you tried Hilti? My experience is that SDS bits that small are
quick to disintegrate, so I buy cheap and plentiful. Hilti will NOT
be cheap.

Thanks. Now all I need to do is find someplace to purchase it.

No one carries the Hilti locally. I just melted the tip of my 4th bit.
This carpet is getting expensive! I see Fastenal has their own brand. I
may try one today. I only need 3 more holes!
