could i use this on a 2 " concrete slab for railing posts for a basement stair well retaining rail?

I agree with Ronald, holes are sized for deck screws, so if you can find small enough diameter bolts for concrete, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I don't see why you couldn't. The collar is plastic, but very sturdy. The only limiter is what will you use to connect the collar to the slab - because the holes are sized to accept deck screws. So you won't be able to use concrete nut and bolt.

You can, but it would be a lot of drilling into the concrete in order to make the hand rail secure. There are 12 holes needed which will require good anchor inserts for the bolts to be screwed into and I am not sure you can get small enough diameter bolts to fit the holes provided in the base.

The holes to anchor to floor are small (#6 or 8 screw i believe) would be hard to drill into concrete for anchors 3 times on each side. It's made of hollow plastic with molded screw holes holes, so it would be hard to "customize".Sorry, didn't notice message until today

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.

I'm sorry; I don't know. I think you should be able to as long as you can drill through the steel. The pole is very long. I had to attach it to a beam inside the ceiling. Basically the second floor floor beam.

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.

Yes, if the top horizontal rail is 1 5/8" or smaller, that is the gap on the u shaped hook in the top of the stair side rails.

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.

Absolutely! This is a great P.H. digger. I made exra wide 4' deep holes and set 6" dia. concrete pads at the bottom, to set 4"x4" posts on.

I had a handy man take care of this, but he did not seem to have a problem putting the handrail on cement steps. Sorry I cannot help more. Would I buy this rail again...You bet! It was not expensive to buy or to install and it is perfect for our needs...sturdy, steady and the perfect size. Good Luck! Marlene

Not sure what you are asking because these are intended to be mounted on a concrete slab or footing and if you are wanting to support a fence on solid ground then you will to dig up the old post and reinstall with concrete. But if fence is going across a concrete driveway or similar then yes it will work with proper concrete anchors.

Sorry, NO. The base is wide enough for a 6 by 6 inch piece of wood ( pressure-treated preferred) which can then be mounted on a 4 by 4 inch post. The 2x2 is too small for a secure mount.

Unless you wedge a 45 degree shim against the perpendicular extruded aluminum I would say no. It is really designed to hold the rails at a 90 degree angle. Its a great product for routing rails

My deck railing is 3 1/2" and they hook right over it with not much wiggle room, it is not adjustable, coated metal that probably with a lot of muscle could be bent but if you bent it 2" I don't think it would grab the railing properly.

I not using on rail so i can't answer your question. However, if you are looking for solid piece, you might want to look somewhere else.

This unit is a light weight unit best for smaller concrete jobs 2" - 4" and stucco. For thicker concrete I would use the pointed bit, not the spade bit.

I used this model to break up an old 6" thick concrete fence post footing, so demo'ing concrete stairs should be OK. remember to start on a corner or edge, so the cracked pieces can fall away and not jam. this unit has about 3-5 times to breaking power of the typical smaller 1" rotary hammers, so much better for demo use.

I do not see why not, just need two solid surfaces, and would need to hold the tile until it sets. This is not a contact cement

I agree, it would work. Sounds like you are only talking 2 maybe 3 posts, or 4 posts with gate, so this would be OK. Alternatively, one cheap bag of premix concrete per every two posts will also do the trick and easier to make plumb.

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.
