Can i use it to drill a hole in concrete using a concrete bit?

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.

a couple of holes -- not a lot of holes. Good piece of equipment. Haven't killed it yet.

The 3rill is a Drill/Driver/Impact driver, not a hammer drill. It has a 1/4" Hex Shank chuck and I am unaware of any masonry bits that will work with this type of chuck. To answer your question, could you.....probably, should you.....no. I would recommend getting a hammer drill for this purpose. Check out the Rockwell Shop Series hammer drill, it is fairly inexpensive and will do exactly what you need. http://www.amazon.com/Rockwell-ShopSeries-RC3136-2-Inch-Hammer/dp/B003EI7WOC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1401281173&sr=8-3&keywords=Rockwell+Hammer+Drill

Technically you could, but it would be a very slow drill as the turning speed is nowhere near that of a drill. Not recommended for drilling.

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

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.

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

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 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

A masonry bit is essential to drill concrete but since it's usually a long, drawn out process, I would only consider a corded drill.

If you use hex ended drill bits you can. However, the driver turns slowly so it would only work for soft material with not a lot of depth needed. I only use it for started holes for screws.

Absolutely! With your choice of high speed or high torque, the high torque setting has plenty of muscle to drill concrete.

Yes this DeWalt drill can drill through concrete. Beware that this is a cordless drill and the running time is limited compared to a corded drill.

No. I know this for certain, because I've tried it. After multiple attempts, the bit will not go through my concrete wall.

No. You cant use drill bits. Just the drivers that come with it or similar drivers.

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.

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.

I've used it to drill in concrete and stone(in hammer drill setting), worked great for me. depth will depend on the drill bit you get. this machine has plenty of torque so just make sure you drill straight!

this drill will drill almost anything, including concrete.....although it would drive a screw into cement,you must drill a hole first....this is a perfect tool to drill the hole, as far as driving a screw you would do better with something smaller like a screw gun or impact driver....hope this helped.
