Can I drill into concrete ?

Yes, if you use drills for masonry and not too large or deep.It is best though to have a drill that also is for regular and concretedrilling. It is called an impact drill and can be set for either drilling.they have them in battery operated.

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

I have not tired it in concrete. I think if the drill bit was 1/4 of smaller this drill has enough power to drill holes in concrete. You have to be careful with any cordless drill not to overwork the battery. You can damage a battery by working the drill too hard and overheating the battery.

this drill is intended for light duty work if you want to drill into concrete you should be using a hammer drill

This type of drill is intended for light to medium duty work around the house. This is maded more for drywall screws or a home project. For drilling into concrete, you'll want want something with more torque and impact capability. Your best bet would be to rent an electric 1/2" drill/driver from Home Depot or other tool rental company.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

We have not tried concrete, though we have to have the drill on the lowest power setting for wood work. We believe that it would do well with concrete, provided you have a good masonry bit. We love the drill!

I use it for Tapcons and similar on occasion, and it works well enough in concrete. The drill is awesomely powerful for drilling framing members with auger bits and such, which I use it for daily.

Well, I did not drill concrete with this drill, but if I would need to drill concrete I most likely would use proper bit for concrete and try to do it with corded drill.Also important the thickness you need to drill.

We have ours drilled into the concrete, but you could pull it out as necessary.

It's possible. You'll have to purchase concrete anchors from your local hardware store that are specifically made to expand within the concrete.

Probably not. The best tool for penetrating tough, dense concrete is a rotary hammer. A hammer drill might work for smaller holes such as pilot holes for self-threading concrete screws. Hammer drills are limited by their chucks and drill bit size- usually 5-8". It takes a different type of chuck to keep the the drill bit 'in' the chuck and rotary hammers have that chuck.

Absolutely not! These are for metal or wood. You need to look at Masonry Drill Bits for use in concrete drilling. Those drill bits are carbide tipped and the drilling tip is configured to better withstand the abrasiveness of the concrete.

Yes. Mark the holes using the plate, drill holes using a masonry bit (if over concrete slab, continue using masonry bit, if over wood subfloor, switcht to wood drill bit), tap in the anchors (use soapy water to help ease the installation), then screw in the plate.

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.

You need an impact driver drill this is primarily for drilling into concrete or heavy steel.

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.
