can this drill be used on concrete walls?

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.

I don't think this is powerful enough to use on concrete walls. This is a residential toolkit for minor household projects.

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.

Yes it can. A hammer drill with masonry bit will be needed to drill the holes in the concrete. Blow out the holes with air after drilling, then fasten with Tapcon masonry screws. They are blue screws and available at any home improvement store

Yes absolutely - you just need to be able to drill holes. I would imagine it would be more secure on concrete blocks than on sheet ply like typical homes.

No. I know this for certain, because I've tried it. After multiple attempts, the bit will not go through my concrete wall.

If you need to drill into concrete firstly you must use a masonry bit, then the thickness of the concrete you need to drill would determine what drill is required, I haven't attempted to use my Black and Decker for concrete drilling as I believe that you need a corded power drill for this type of work and as I have a Makita corded drill I use that, however even this drill struggles on some concrete drilling jobs. So to answer your query I would have to say I think this drill would have it's work cut out to handle concrete drilling.

I have not done this, but from my experience using it for wood, if the underlying surface is flat and smooth, then it should work.If the concrete has a rough or dimpled surface, then it will not work well at all. I would use a wire brush in that case.

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, use carbide drill appropriate for size of concrete screw. Use screw with hex head, easier to install.

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.

Hello, I believe you could install this on a concrete wall with masonry screws. The holes are 1/4" in diameter. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

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!

Absolutely-this is a strong 1/2 drive drill. If you are doing a lot of concrete drilling I'd consider a hammer drill but this Dewalt will have more versatility.

Yes it will drill in concrete. It has a function ring to turn it into a hammer drill. You need to use the appropriate drill bits

no you cannot. you need a drill with a carbide tip for concrete. The best for concrete is a hammer drill and carbide bits.
