Do I have to use hammer drill for concrete wall? What is the different compair to regular power drill? Thank you for your time.

Hammer is for going through concrete wall. Power drill doesn't have same power and can burn out motor.

The hammer drill sofly hammers as it drills, makin it much more useful for a masonry objects. Regular drill just not as effective!

I believe a hammer drill would be a little more heavy duty for going into concrete. Depending on how hard a job it is, it may suffice, at the risk of burning out the motor?

We haven't tried it into concrete. It's probably okay for a couple of holes but you probably need a corded hammer drill to drill many holes. Makita makes other drills that might be more suitable for your use. I'd use a 1/2 HP 110 drill. I'm actually Julie's husband and was a custom builder for 30 years; she bought it for me as a gift. After years in building I needed the light weight drill.

Drilling into a fence post is easy, but drilling into concrete you really need a hammer drill. the hitachi is a driver drill.

No, the impact driver is not for drilling concrete. You need a hammer-drill for that. If you mean to tighten the bolt/nut in whatever type of anchor you choose, then you will likely need a ratchet set for that. Honestly, the Ryobi and DeWalt impact drivers make great screw guns and I use them all the time (I own both sets), but don't expect them to have the torque to tighten bolts in your engine, wheel, metal-to-metal surfaces, or anything that requires a large amount of torque. Deck screws, toggles, lags into wood, screwing into plastic anchors, Tap-Cons, and anything you would use a hand screw driver for all work great. No, the impact driver is not for drilling concrete.

definitely not. You need a hammer drill and hammer drill drill bits for concrete drilling

Three answers: 1) Great tool to drill holes in wood. Lots of torque and power. 2) For concrete if you're only drilling a few holes. My preference for concrete would be a corded hammer-drill/rotary hammer. The drilling ability depends if larger rocks or sand was used with cement making concrete. 3) This tool is simple to use. Hope this helps.

If you remove debris from the core of the drill as you go, you can drill the depth of the bit plus the extension, about a foot as I recall. I bored through an 8" thick concrete block wall with no problems by periodically pulling back the bit and cleaning it out. Use a steady trickle of water and a powerful drill for best results, also keep the speed down. Hope this helps.

The question makes almost no sense!! Is he asking will it be OK to use an electric hammer drill to mix a portland cement mortar in a can or other container? If that's the case, then there should be no problem as that is a very powerful drill and as long as he does't get mortar into the drill motor!! Hope this helps! V.C.F

I would reccomend a hammerdrill instead. It is intended for drilling in concrete. They are usually function as a regular and hammer drill.One like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0008ELQ0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376105960&sr;=8-1π=SL75

Depends on the power of the cordless drill and whether it is hammer operated. These are masonry bits, so they are supposed to drill through concrete, stucco, and brick. Read the reviews. Personally, I used them to easily drill through stucco, but I used a corded hammer drill.

hammer drill is just like a normal drill but can be use to drill through masonry products with special drill bits in hammer mode. impact drill is just like an impact gun but you can use it for multiple screw bits for around the house or shop. hope this answers your questions if not let me know. will try to explain it better.

this drill dont have the hammer drill option. so is not the best for cement.

Actually, you have two methods. You can always use a hammer drill to drill holes in cement. Then use a lead insert in the hole to give your screw some threads. Personally, I wouldn't drill in cement because if water gets in and freezes it expands and breaks the cement up over a few seasons. I would simply mount the entire Kick Away centered on a piece of plywood 14 by 22 inches. I used half inch plywood. Then I cut two strips of wood 3/4 inch or thicker that are 22 inches long. I mounted both strips on the bottom of the plywood along the edges of the larger 22 inch plywood to keep the unit off the cement. I then put 4 rubber feet, one on each corner to keep the Kick Away from moving during use and to keep the wood drier off the cement to avoid rot. The large plywood is cut larger than the Kick Away so you can stand ONE foot on the plywood and clean the other foot. Then switch feet. Use mine every morning following our 2 mile walk. Still outside on our cement driveway in front of one of the parked cars and the garage door. Kick Away is holding up just fine. Might have to rebuild the wood base I describe because I didn't paint the plywood.

This type of drill is intended for light to medium duty work around the house. This is maded more for drywall screws or a home project. For drilling into concrete, you'll want want something with more torque and impact capability. Your best bet would be to rent an electric 1/2" drill/driver from Home Depot or other tool rental company.

Yes, this drill works just as well as a regular drill, although it's a bid larger and heavier. I've used my drill for drilling holes in wooden cabinets, with the use of a cobalt bit I've even drilled through 1/4" stainless steel. Make sure you get the correct hammer bit if you'll use it for masonry, all other bits will break and/or go dull immediately.

this drill will drill almost anything, including concrete.....although it would drive a screw into cement,you must drill a hole first....this is a perfect tool to drill the hole, as far as driving a screw you would do better with something smaller like a screw gun or impact driver....hope this helped.
