Could this can 3" or so below a concrete floor for drilling?

No way! It works 50% of the time. I would definitely NOT trust it before breaking up concrete.

I never tried concrete- It is good at electrical or metal detection though so it will likely find rebar in the concrete for you to avoid. It has a harder time with walls in contemporary houses that have massive amounts of wood in the walls but good in standard construction. Hope this helps.

Don't know 100%, but it should. I drilled though 3/8" travertine and about 3/4" into concrete and the bit still has life in it.

Yes, I think it would work for you. Also you can set the base deeper into the ground and make it shorter if you want.

It can. I drilled the holes in concrete with a hammer drill and sank anchors into them. The floor plate for the safe mounts to the concrete the same as it would to a wood floor.

Yes however I would not recommend it. Concrete has a rough.finish and you stand the chance of damaging.the bottom.

My husband says with the right bit, it should work fine. He has used it to drill into concrete. Hope this helps.

Hello Cheryl, Thank you for asking about our Dewalt drills. For concrete and masonry, we believe any of the Dewalt hammer drills would be able to use a 1/2" bit. The strength of the drill would be determined by the specifications of your project. You can read about the various drills here: www.dewalt.com You may want to also contact DeWalt directly about this matter to get a more precise answer. Have a great day!

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

It can do it but if you will be making frequent holes of this caliber i would suggest a Milwaukie hammer drill. But these do everything I need except drill through concrete slabs.

Sure, if you want to drill holes with a concrete bit. It has plenty of power for that.

Sure. I used a 3/8 inch cordless drill and did fine. However, depending on the size hole you are drilling be sure to use a drill with enough power. I had to take be careful not to push mine too hard as it started to overheat.

I would say theoretically, yes, but realistically it would be very difficult to get a 7/8" bit to cut a clean hole all the way through the other side to run the wires out, especially without cracking anything. Now if you were pouring new concrete and could leave a spacer for the holes that would definitely be doable.

Yes this DeWalt drill can drill through concrete. Beware that this is a cordless drill and the running time is limited compared to a corded drill.

Technically you could, but it would be a very slow drill as the turning speed is nowhere near that of a drill. Not recommended for drilling.

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

No but calculate size required buy only what you need excellent drill does a 1/2 X 3 inch hole in about 25 seconds into concrete.

I wouldn't recommend drilling into concrete with this drill. If it were me, I would use an electric corded drill for that task.
