Does it drill only? or can I use it to put screws on a concrete wall? (sorry, not being familiar with this kind of stuff)and need to use on a concrete

This drill is excellent. I e used in concrete block walls 15cm yen. I have not had any problems. We recommend

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.

si es bueno para todo tipo de uso. concreto,metal, entre otros, se recomienda

In a word.....No. The output of this drill is rotary motion.....like a regular drill except it has a high speed "pounding/hammering" component too. It is for use with carbide-tipped drills ... and it drills round holes in concrete quickly. That is ALL is is good for. Sorry.

No. Would not be a good idea to use this drill on concrete. There are special drills made just for that. This type of drill would burn up easily.

Hi Melissa, Drilling these 3 substances is more dependent on the drills used than the drill driver. I'm sure this driver would allow you to drill any of these materials but if I wanted to drill concrete or metal frequently or continuously, I'd get a heavier drill. For very much concrete drilling a hammer drill would probably work better. This is not a hammer drill.

To drill on dry wall or plywood, this is pretty much capable of doing so using an ordinary bit but If you want to drill on concrete wall then you need a masonry bit. This B&D; drill is really strong with 2 speed 20 volt power. You will not regret.

No this is not the correct tool for concrete. If you're buying just one drill that can also do concrete, a Hammer drill/driver like the 20V Dewalt DCD995B or the smaller Milwaukee M12 Fuel 2404-20 are the types you'll want. The reason you'll want a hammer drill/driver not an impact drill/driver is that hammer drills do the impacts along the axis of the masonry bit, tapping down into the hole, chipping out concrete as they go, whereas impact drivers like the DCF895 do the impacts rotationally, with each tap twisting the screw/bolt a little tighter.

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

Yes, it can be used on concrete. I have used this drill on my concrete porch to mount railings and handles with no problem at all. It has also done a fine job on the basement floor and wall masonry.

In principle, yes. I have drilled some 5/32" holes in concrete with this drill, although I would recommend a larger drill (perhaps 10 amps) if you need to do a lot of heavy drilling. Depending on the volume of your work, you may consider a percussion drill as well.

I used this drill on hard concrete and its was amazing. The drill bit i used was poor quality but the drill itself performed excellent. It doesn't lock in slow speed, just as it was described "variable speed" and that is what i saw when i used it. Personally its very powerful. Just buy the percussion bits which works best with it.

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 had the same question. The drill must be pressed against a surface to pulse in the concrete mode. If you just run it in mid air it will not pulse. If you still have trouble with the drill I was told by the manufacturer that they would replace it at no cost.

No, there is no device in this kit that is designed to drill a hole in anything. It only has devices meant to install or remove screws with various types of heads. A concrete drill bit will have a carbide tip and is designed to be used in a hammer drill.

My husband said for concrete, you should drill a hole first and use an insert that the screw actually screws into. We hung ours on the wall and we also had to search for a sturdy screw with a small enough head to fit. I must say it was worth the trouble, we have gotten a lot of compliments on our wall art. Good luck.

I used the bolts provided with these climbing holds on 3/4" plywood that we drilled and place T-nuts on. Worked great.I have not used the bolts on concrete. However, I would think if you drilled a test hole into the concrete and inserted a concrete wedge anchor that it would hold the bolt properly. You would just have to find the right size drill bit and the appropriate concrete wedge anchors that you could pick up at your local hardware. The retaining wall sounds like it would be great. Good luck.

They are not designed for concrete. There is a specific type of drill and bits for concrete and masonry. So you would ideally want to use a hammer drill with a masonry bit. There are drills that have a hammer switch setting for concrete that work well with masonry bits in concrete.
