How will this drill do in concrete with the proper bit?

This is NOT a hammer-drill which is what you need for any serious drilling in concrete.

It's got lots of power and sturdiness so I think it'll do fine with the correct bit. You might go through a few bits, depending on depth and strength of concrete but the drill will hold up.

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.

No, it is a impact for screwing long screws or bolts. The chuck only excepts a 1/4" hex shank. I don't believe they make a 1/4" hex concrete bit.

The drill itself can be used to drive something that will cut the granite, but I do not know if the concrete core bit can be successfully used to cut the stone. I bet the manufacturer of the bit can answer that question.

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.

Depends on the size of screw or lag bolt. Think of it as a mini impact driver. I haven't drilled into concrete with it but I wouldn't hesitate to try small diameter concrete screws or concrete drill bits for holes not greater than 1/4 inch. If you want to use drill bits to make holes you will need an attachment chuck since the Dewalt only has a hex head chuck. Hope this helps. I really like this drill - it has long battery life and has surprised me with its power.

Sure it should, as long as you are using a tool bit designed for concrete. The tool itself appears to be powerful, from my experience.

Absolutely! With your choice of high speed or high torque, the high torque setting has plenty of muscle to drill concrete.

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, You need a carbide tipped drill bit to drill into the concrete, there are concrete screws which hold in the hole, check your local hardware.

Yes... if you can find Concrete Bits that fit the quarter inch Hex, go for it... I love my impact... really good for driving screws and bolts in to masonry or Concrete... Never used Concrete bits in impact...Yet... but you can buy bit and screws in a kit... just drill the hole like normal... unless your planning to use the huge ones... but in Cynder blocks... works fine. I also drilled 3/8 inch lags screws, into predrilled holes... do not drill holes bigger then the shaft of the screw.. if you drill them the size of the threads... will not gripI hope this helped...

I used this to drill through 1/2 inch slate and it worked well, so I don't think you would have any problem with concrete. Like Plumber 70 mentioned, you should mist the hole with water as you go to keep the bit cool.

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.

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

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.

I've used it to drill in concrete and stone(in hammer drill setting), worked great for me. depth will depend on the drill bit you get. this machine has plenty of torque so just make sure you drill straight!

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.
