Drill bit supplied in Ring Install Kit? (Specifications QUESTION)

For my physical install of the Ring Video Doorbell on my brick house I have a conern that the drill bit provided by Ring won't do the job. Now; I have not tried it yet but i just doesn't look like it could drill through anyting unfortunately.... LOL The drill bit has a "6" and a "15/64" on it. Can anyone verify that is indeed the typical or correct size drill bit for the supplied anchors? Thanks ![1.1drill bit.JPG|480x640](upload://oMzBukly5j0gGPnZAtGh9VIJ9RB.jpeg)

    I started a "test hole" at another location on the brick and it was working (very slow), but maybe this WILL work.. Took about 45 seconds to drill first approx. 1/8"-3/16" depth.. ![1_masonry bil.JPG|480x640](upload://dnXwleRqtFoME16M1TxytuZOyQ1.jpeg)

      UPDATE: ok, even though the "test drill hole" seemed to pass (that is it "started" a hole in the brick), I am unable to get the bit to drill any further into the brick at the mounting location. After 3+ minutes of drilling the first hole, it's not drilling any deeper than the initial 1/8" or so! Wonder if there's an issue with the drill bit Ring sent in my kit? Can I just go find a hardened 15/64" bit for drilling metal??? Thoughts? Ring HELP??! Thanks ![1.4 Drilling into brick RING.JPG|480x640](upload://Ac60EKix8CkROca7rMdi7vNgL9O.jpeg)

      I'm facing the same issue described above and need to order a drill bit of the correct size. Could someone from Ring please confirm the size, rather than telling us to compare it to the supplied bit (not very helpful for online shopping).

    Your kit came with a drill bit? I just called because I couldn’t find one in the box and was told the kits don’t come with them.

      My doorbell did not come with an orange screwdriver or a drill bit.

        Yep, mine was missing some of the screws and the drillbit, so frustrating!!

      Mine came with a blue security screwdriver but there’s no drillbit — also you’re going to have issues drilling into masonry if you don’t have a hammer drill. I was just seeing if it was lodged inside the ring or attached to something and I’m missing it.

        My directions say to use a 1/4” bit and it’s not included
