Yes this will work for you as long as you use a flat chisel bit to remove your tile. We use it all the time to break up well compacted ground when hand digging.

It will do everything you want, with the right bits. A 1" pad is not an issue. I use it to put 4" holes through concrete using a core bit.I'm an electrical contractor. I drive ground rods in with it too.

SteveI've only used my 11240 with a cardide rock drill to drill holes to split rocks with wedges+feathersI have not used it for demolition but using the right bit you shouldn't have a problem breaking up 1 inch concrete as I have drilled 16 in deep holes in granite rocks. Have fun

I bought the SDS tile bit. I know their is an adaptor that you can purchase for non SDS, I have not done so yet.

I would try it, I have never used that tool , I have always used the ( chisel and point) it will take care of most anything. The point will help you bust up concrete (Be careful and don't get them stuck). If you have a lot too do get a couple of each. They wear quickly.Have fun messy job:-)

For drilling in concrete with any regularity, get yourself a Hilti TE1 or TE2 SDS rotary hammer drill. You will be a lot happier. On the other hand, cinder blocks are pretty soft, and you could get away with chucking in a concrete bit and firing away. Hope this helps.

Bosch sells a set of SDS plus bits. Any SDS Plus will fit the hammer. As to whether a 1/2 hole is appropriate really depends on the size of anchor you plan to use. A 1/2" hole for an anchor sounds like a very large anchor.

I purchased this for removing pointing on stone wall, which I have not done yet. I did use it to break up some pieces of concrete curb at the end of my driveway. It did work, but I would say a larger tool would be better. I would say it will work in a pinch, but if you are looking for a tool specifically to demo concrete 4+ inches thick it is a bit light. If it is just tile on a 1" to 2" slab of concrete I think it would work great.

I drilled through a concrete foundation with a new 1/4 inch drill bit in seconds if that helps!

George, The Hard Floor Tool is designed to go onto the aluminum wand after removing the standard brush tool which is the one we use most. We have waxed concrete floors and use primarily the brush tool. The diameter of the pipe is 1.5 inch OD and 1.25 inch ID. I hope that helps. Dick

I used it for 1/2" bellawood engineered flooring which is a laminated product multiple layers of fine plywood and an approximately an 1/8" of top layer of oak. it nailed thru the plywood. the tool is not suited for flooring thicker then 5/8". If your intent on using staples then the MIIIFS is better or a standard cleat nailer will work. avoidputting the cleats too close to the end of the board.

Has anyone ever cut slate tiles with this tool? I'm trying to finish a shower wall, and need to rip 2"x2" slate mosaic tiles that are about a half inch thick. I understand I should get a diamond blade.

This unit is a light weight unit best for smaller concrete jobs 2" - 4" and stucco. For thicker concrete I would use the pointed bit, not the spade bit.

After posting my comment I just happen to read someone else's that says he ruined his shovel bit on the basement floor. At least thats what i think he's saying. If so then he didn't quite understand the shovel bit is not for concrete or cement. Its for hard dirt or clay. The tool has work perfectly for me and unless your using it on a daily basis or trying to bust 4 foot thick walls down this thing will work fine. yes the case sucks and the handle sucks. but with a little modifications this "can" be a great tool. Lets not forget the price either fellas... i would buy this again and again... After posting my comment I just happen to read someone else's that says he ruined his shovel bit on the basement floor.

No, sorry to say this tool will not do what your looking to do with it. This tool is wonderful for removing cermaic tile from substrates. A carbide head on a buffer would do a better job but still may not remove all the residue.

I do suggest you visit the homepage, Dyson, for advice. I have the DC59. I do NOT need the adaptor to use the hard floor tool. I believe the adaptor is included for its use with other models.

What you need is a demolition hammer for breaking up tile. This multi tool is a precision tool designed for fine cuts in awkward places. It is also a nice detail sander for awkward places. I do use it for sawing out grout joints for renewing the grout. I used to do it with a hand saw but this is easy to control and easier on me. The blade attached to this tool moves side to side a small amount. It is a very fast movement and cuts pretty quickly. it is very handy for cutting door jams when installing laminate flooring, marble bathroom door sills, etc. It can be used to plunge cut holes in drywall, wood or other similar materials. You can get a scraper blade that they advertise for vinyl tile removal, but that is pretty slow. I can do a better job with a garden spade. A quick check of the internet on ceramic tile removal will give you a better idea on what you need. This tool isn't it.

Depends on how much material you want to remove and how rough the surface is when you begin. If you are wanting to expose much of the aggregate and if the concrete is rough then maybe want to get an extra pad of 50 and 100grit.

I wouldn't use this to rip 4", you'll have a 50/50 chance of it coming out right, but that goes for any tile breaker. It's a very nice piece though.

James I'm not sure what you can use but I know what you can't use. You can't use SDS bits which is what all the Big Box stores sell. That said you will never break the ones that come with it as they are industrial grade. I see that they sell a spade blade for digging clay. The proprietary ones have a flat slide that lines up with the accepting part of the tool. In the reviews folks list part numbers from Harbor freight I believe, but I can't attest to that.

I'm traveling now and do not have access to the package instructions, but I expect it would do fine with concrete. I used in for multiple holes in porcelain tile which in my experience is much more difficult to drill than concrete. I would NOT think it's a good idea in a rotary hammer. I used it on a slow to medium speed with plenty of water and it worked great. I expect a rotary hammer would be detrimental to it's longevity. I would call Dewalt's customer service for their take on it. 800- 433-9258.
