is this drill powerful enough to drill concrete ?

Yes. In the hammer mode with good bits I have drilled holes in concrete walls and pads with no problems

I would say yes, as long as you're in hammer-drill mode and using proper masonry bits. I've drilled holes in my garage floors for mounting stud walls, as well as into brick with no issues. As long as it is not high-PSI concrete (like an airport runway or a specialty type of concrete), should not be a problem!

5/16" or smaller are well within hammer drill capability of the tool. Larger depend on the composition of the material being drilled. A good drill for the price.

The first one I purchased broke within 3 weeks. Amazon was great and sent me a new one. The second one has been good to go for 7 months. With my personal experience with the tool I would not use on concrete. My Bosch drill works great on concrete and I don't have to worry about it breaking.

Yup, with a proper masonry bit the drill will make holes in most concrete that doesn't have re-bar in it.

i dont recommend this drill for mixing concrete-just using the shovel and hoe.

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

This is a hammer drill, it can be used to drill concrete with a masonry bit. It isn't an impact driver which is normally used for driving screws into wood, drywall ect. It will however work but not as efficiently. Both tools are designed specifically for different tasks.

Absolutely does. I have drilled many holes into concrete, using a masonry bit, with this drill.

No this drill is far to light to drill concrete you would be better of spending more and gettig the 36v

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

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

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.

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 believe it is powerful enough for concrete. bits used have a hexagon base. the bigger the bit, the harder and slower this works. this is for smaller or basic jobs.

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.

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.

If you have room to maneuver the drill, the soil is soft enough (will not go thru rock or concrete), and the drill bit long enough, I do not see why not, but there are curved shovels for this that probable work better

No, You need at least an 18 volt drill to effectively drill concrete and stones found in concrete.
