I think it should, I have used mine all over the house, just don't forget to use a masonry bit made for concrete

Yes. I am very impressed with this drill. Very powerful, and I drilled brick and cinder blocks with no problems. I hope this helps you. Ray

You need to be able to drill 2 holes in whatever surfacing you will be hanging it. I don't know how flush this would be against the fireplace, since the brick is not a completely smooth surface.

if You are putting a few holes in cured concrete ..yes. if You are trying to secure a wall or install rebar You need a hammer drill and BOSCH has them as well. a hammer drill is superior to ALL other types of drills for concrete drilling

No, as long as there is something solid to hang the brackets on. I used lead anchors in stucco and the two boxes I installed are solid as a rock.

I would reccomend a hammerdrill instead. It is intended for drilling in concrete. They are usually function as a regular and hammer drill.One like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0008ELQ0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376105960&sr;=8-1π=SL75

It would seem to me that this will work fine. I used this successfully on an exterior stucco wall to mount a mail box. They key is to use a 1/2 inch drill...the round type. This way the drill bit edge will not get caught in the expanded metal lathing.

Sure. You'll need a concrete anchor. Just swap the provided screws for the one you'll use to thread into the anchor.

You mean inside a concrete column? Yes if it is wide enough. Or do you mean mount on the concrete column. Yes if it is wide enough but you will have to drill using concrete drill bit holes for mounting screws. I bought special screws for my brick mount in mortar. I do not remember if they were 1/4 inch or 3/16 inch by 2 1/4 inches or so. I think you better ask some man to help you drill and mount.The screws they provide are more suitable for wooden attachment.

Sure, if you use a masonry bit, but a hammer drill is a better choice for drilling brick and concrete.

Generally, I would say no, it will not work for concrete blocks. Having said that, if you are going to be drilling a few holes for example it may work. As an example, I want to mount a board to my basement wall. It would work for that. If you are going to be doing medium to heavy duty drill, you should get a hammer drill. There are several brands out there that would work, Bosch being one of them.Keep in mind that all the 12volt power tools have a couple of advantages. One is their size and the other is their weight. Although I have seen 12 tools in the tool boxes of tradesmen, they are for light duty use or where the above reasons come into play. Generally, I would say no, it will not work for concrete blocks.

Yes. I used them to drill into stucco to mount brackets for my gutter downspouts. It was easy, compared to my failure with a regular drill bit.

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

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.

You would have to have like a special drill and screw/hook. I suppose it would be possible. As long as there's a way to screw into the brick. When I purchased it it didn't come with any hardware (the thigs that go in the wall) so I had to go to the hardware store and find something that fit and would work. That being said in sure you could do the same and get four eye hooks (I got ceiling hooks) that can handle brick.

Using this drill with concrete drill bits would work for small projects. Heavy drilling should be done with a larger and heavier duty drill.

It should just make sure you follow the directions.. the brick should be ok.. concrete I would not be absolutely sure..I taped mine with duct tape to the face of the box. And made sure the antenna had breathing room to the LOS to the home.. Had some crooks stealing mail in area.. and I noticed 2AM the light came on.. we had nothing in the box but they tried with Valentines day near.
