Can it be used on concrete? I want to give it as a gift to a friend who lives in South America and houses there are made of concrete and bricks.

As long as you use carbide-tipped drill bits that are made for this purpose. A spare battery would be useful if the work is really difficult. I have purchased four B&D; tools that use the same battery, so I always have enough for any of the jobs I may do.

P.S. Each tool comes with its own charger, so there's always a spare battery.

This cordless drill works fine for drilling wood or metal but for concrete and bricks, a hammer drill and masonry bit would work better.

It would not be a very good unit to drill holes in concrete but we use it to drive tapcon screws into holes drilled with my rotary concrete hammer drill.

Using this drill with concrete drill bits would work for small projects. Heavy drilling should be done with a larger and heavier duty drill.

My husband says that he wouldn't use it for concrete. They make hammer drills specifically for drilling into harder materials. Hope this answer didn't come too late for you!

I think it can be used using a mansonry bit properly! I´ve never used on concrete before. But it does not have the IMPACT function, so if the concrete is very hard, I dont think it could do the job very fast.

I don't see why not if it's concrete, says you can use it for floors. My only concern when putting on the floors if you move heavy furniture you may scratch or tear it. yes it's a lot thicker than regular contact paper and if you use it for the floors, I would use a heavier glue than just pealing the back off as it may not stick long depending on your flooring. I have used this on the counters and also I covered a table with it. I hope this helps.

the seller has listed a mounting kit specifically for mounting onto masonry and concrete. It is available through their website now. I t may be available on amazon too

No, I wouldn't use them on concrete. They must be used on hardwoods or a smooth floor.

Just received mine, the instructions state: For use on concrete, stone or tile floors. (Do not use on carpeting or wood floors.)

We have not tried concrete, though we have to have the drill on the lowest power setting for wood work. We believe that it would do well with concrete, provided you have a good masonry bit. We love the drill!

Hi,Yes, it shouldn't bunch at all on concrete. Concrete and/or hardwood are probably the best surfaces to use our Barracuda exercise mat on, as these surfaces will limit shifting and bunching the most. Thank you for your interest in our large exercise mat and have a wonderful day!TashaSquare36

yes, it can stand on concrete, but depending on weather (i.e. wind) and how long you will have it up, you may want to have sandbags or something of the like to keep it weighted down.

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.

I haven't a clue about using it on concrete. I use it on wood to seal the surface so water doesn't penetrate and stain the wood. You have to reapply it as it wears away. It is perfect for cutting boards and butcher block surfaces.

It could, however, this particular product is more for wood/metal/plastic applications.. You'd be better off using a masonry epoxy for brick or concrete projects.

I used it on my brick so no reason why it wouldn't work on cement. Good Luck!

The plastic on it is on the soft side. It's fine for wood or vinyl flooring, but I wouldn't recommend it for brick or concrete. It would get worn down extremely fast.

I have not tried it in a concrete one. My sister-in-law's birdbath & mine are both ceramic, & it works fine in them.

If the bricks are bedded in sand it may not be a good idea as it will blow the sand out of the cracks, and the uneven surface may make it difficult to move the unit easily. Works very well on my driveway even in areas where the surface has salt damage, just doesn't move as freely over the damaged areas. I agree with Daniel R.

I purchased this item. Attached it to my composite decking. I would think you could attach to concrete with masonry screws and a hammer drill. Would definitely by one and practice. My concern is how well the plastic base will hold up over time - through cold winters and hot summers.
