can this be used as a hammer drill for carbide masonry drills?

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

Absolutely! This hammer drill uses SDS Plus bits only. The bits can go up to 1". Standard drill bits will not work in this drill.

you can use as impact on smaller fasteners/screws. the hammer drill part is for use in masonry applications w/ masonry drill bits. depends on what your application is going to be. If you do not plan on using the hammer drill option, I would consider the regular drill or drill driver. I bought mine to use as a hammer drill only. Hope this helps, good luck

Yes, this drill works just as well as a regular drill, although it's a bid larger and heavier. I've used my drill for drilling holes in wooden cabinets, with the use of a cobalt bit I've even drilled through 1/4" stainless steel. Make sure you get the correct hammer bit if you'll use it for masonry, all other bits will break and/or go dull immediately.

Yes. This drill is variable speed reversible. It also has hammer mode. Excellent for drilling masonry or concrete.

No, this drill bits are only for metals and wood. Masonry tips are different

yes the drill can either be a hammer drill or you can switch it to strictly a drill mode.

I know you asked the question a year and a half ago, but I am a mason and I have this hammer. No way would it work for removing the old mortar. U need a masonary chisel, and u have to be skilled and hit the mortar going edgewise with the bricks, otherwise it will break the bricks. The end of this hammer is pointed, not flat.

i'm sure it will but cutting masonry with a miter saw will not be good for your saw!

No this hammer option is for brick or masonry use buy the dewalt impact drill instead

That's how I'm using it but I think you're correct in that it can be used on masonry. I think the lag bolts that come with it are for masonry and the instructions refer to masonry instillation. But I've had no issues to date.

I use this in an impact driver, it works very well there, but I don't think it would work very well or hold up very long in a hammer drill

OK, these bits are used for thin metal, wood and plastic (PVC). See right hand corner of package. If you are drilling into concrete, use masonry bits. Otherwise, this set of drill bits are great for general purposes.

You cannot use this as a drill, it does not have a built in chuck you can adjust for different bit sized and does not turn fast enough.

It is a Variable speed to 900 rpm, some other drills go to 2700 rpm for drilling quickly. This is designed for higher torque to drive screws into Wood. Need a Hammer drill for drilling masonry. though this with a Carbide drill would do a passable job. It would be good for driving screw into masonry anchors. Get Faster drill for drilling metal.

I have used it in a cordless impact drill that vibrates a lot, it will loosen up the drill or screw head, but I'm not sure if had it hand tight or used the tightening wrench.. its been a while. I dont own a hammer drill, but I dont see why it wouldn't work.. except for vibration that may loosen up the drill bit.

no it does not it, a very good drill and a lot lighter than the 1/2" cap Milwaukee that I use for my heavey duty. As far as Masonry goes you don't always need a hammer drill if it's just afew every now and than. If you are going to do a lot of holes in masonry get one that has a hammer function. But why buy a tool you will only use once and it hangs around not being used.
