can this be used on masonry/concrete drilling?

I can be with a masonary drill (carbide tipped) bu a hammer drill is better.

Not advisable, however if you're just wanting to drill one hole for something, you can buy a masonry drill bit but they don't last long and it's hard on the drill. It's best to buy a hammer drill if you're going to be doing a lot of concrete/masonry drilling.

Yes...But make sure you use masonry drill bits. Cobalt drill bits will last longer....but depending on the how big the job is it's best to have a few extra bits to replace when they dull down. I have bought this drill twice. I owned the mode number that this one replaced and my son in law liked it so much when he borrowed it he asked for one as a Christmas gift. You can't go wrong with this drill !! Thanks, Bruce

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.

Of Course. It may not last as long as it would if used only in a sanitary environment, but anything other than extreme dust shouldn't hurt the drill. Of course extreme heat is the death of almost all electric tools. So give the drill time to cool sufficiently between extrem drilling periods.

long as you have the right bit. It's not a hammer drill but you can drill small holes ect into masonry and all with a masonry bit.

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

We use this drill for everything around the house. It is not industrial strength/contractors daily use, but it can do anything. You will need a drill bit for that project. Most drill bits are for metal or wood. I believe most people use a hammer drill for drilling into concrete. If its a few smaller holes, I don't see why this one wouldn't work. If the drill gets super hot and isn't making any progress, I would stop and rent a hammer drill. Hope this helps.

I have not tried to drill in concrete with this drill, and I would not try it with anything besides a hammer drill. I did it once with standard corded drill and it took forever.

No. The downward impact may not be enought to break masonary. Buy the crafstman bolt-on hammer drill attachment, it will fit the B&D; matrix system and work on masonry

Hello Cheryl, Thank you for asking about our Dewalt drills. For concrete and masonry, we believe any of the Dewalt hammer drills would be able to use a 1/2" bit. The strength of the drill would be determined by the specifications of your project. You can read about the various drills here: www.dewalt.com You may want to also contact DeWalt directly about this matter to get a more precise answer. Have a great day!

No it is not....these are not the type of bits that are used to drill into either concrete or stone. The type of bit that you need is called a Masonary drill bit. You can buy them in kits, but they are normally purchased individually when you know the size of the hole that you will be drilling. It is advisable to use a drill that either has a reciprocating capability or to use a full tilt rotary hammer (often referred to as a Hammer Drill), the later being more important if you are going to be drilling larger diameter holes, especially if they are deeper. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes it can be , be sure to purchase the proper "BIT" for ceramic or stone whatever you are drilliing into

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

My husband says with the right bit, it should work fine. He has used it to drill into concrete. Hope this helps.

Yes it can, but the supplied screws are not adequate. You will need masonry specific ones.

To drill on dry wall or plywood, this is pretty much capable of doing so using an ordinary bit but If you want to drill on concrete wall then you need a masonry bit. This B&D; drill is really strong with 2 speed 20 volt power. You will not regret.

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, these bits are not made to drill into concrete. You need special concrete/stone bits, and you will likely also need a drill with 'hammer' capabilities. Unless this is something you plan on doing regularly, I would go to a tool rental place, ask them for recommendations, and rent the right solution for your needs.
1775279
no you cannot. you need a drill with a carbide tip for concrete. The best for concrete is a hammer drill and carbide bits.
729336
No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

You should use a masonry bit when you drill into concrete, brick or mortar.

These are not masonry drill bits. I wouldn't recommend that. However DEWALT's DW5207 drill bits set would work.
