will this drill through cement?

This model will drill through wood, metal and certain depths of concrete. Depending on your needs this one should be fine for most around the home needs. If your needs are for daily use drilling concrete I would suggest looking at some corded electric models specific for concrete. I hope this information helps your decision. I'm here for any other questions you have.

I think it will, but with small drill bits, and very slowly. Do not expect a lot of efficiency, it is really more a screwdriver than a drill. It is good for screw driving task or drilling in wood.

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.

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.

Yes, they will drill through grout and cement. Be careful as if they hit the tile they could cause tile to crack.

The tool is about four inches in diameter. You can use a coded drill with a 3/8" chuck, in fact you will need one. Cordless drill do not have the power to drive this tool efficiently. I don't know what kind of cement you are planning to mix but if you are talking about concrete, which contains coarse aggregate, I wouldn't recommend it. It works great for thinset or drywall compound.

Yes it will but it will take a lot longer than if you had a hammer drill so basically it isn't the right tool for the job but if you don't have to do many holes you could still get the job done without having to spend more for a hammer drill.

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

Thank you for your interest. Yes, the Bosch HD21-2 would work for drilling holes into concrete with the proper bit as long as the diameter of the hole is not larger than 7/8" which is the maximum capacity for this hammer drill. If you need to drill larger diameter holes we would recommend one of our larger rotary hammers. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

No, It will not staple into cement or hardened concrete it might staple into cement fiberboard, it is made to staple into wood. If your trying to strap into cement you might want to try a hammer drill with anchors and metal straps

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.

For drilling concrete you should have a heavy 1/2" hammer drill with a handle that loops behind the chuck. I agree with Kenneth Sparr, not advisable to use this drill for concrete drilling.

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 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.

I don't know if it will cut concrete. I used it to cut glass. It might cut concrete, as it has imbedded diamonds for the cutting edge.

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.

Yes it can. How well it does it depends the type of concrete (there are different strenghts) and type of aggreates (rocks) in the concrete. If you hit a rock it may slow down some but a good quality masonary bit will be able to overcome it. If your drilling large holes you may want to use a smaller bit first. The DCD950B works fine for this type of work.

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.
