They are easy to find on EBAY. Just watch out which connector you need - Spline, SDS, SDS-Max. They are not interchangeable. Do a search for "rotary hammer drill". I lend my drill and bits out to radio club members whenever needed. It's so rocky here we use the drills to drill holes for T-posts and ground rods.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tower Base Anchor Bolts

Hi:

I have ran into a slight problem and need some help.

I am re-using my tower base for a new tower and the bolts that I
require are 1" x 27" and I have opted for the ASTM F1554 Grade 55, and
to leave 6" above the concrete which means 21" into the concrete.

However in my area all I can find for concrete bits that are 18" long
x 1.125" diameter.

However I can get a 22" bit x 1.250" Diameter

Is better to stay with an 18" x 1.125" hole and cut 3" off the bottom
of the bolt or go with a 22" x 1.250" hole and just add more epoxy.

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Tnx.
