Can this be used on concrete? or does that really depend on the bit alone?

I think it can be used using a mansonry bit properly! I´ve never used on concrete before. But it does not have the IMPACT function, so if the concrete is very hard, I dont think it could do the job very fast.

Idk. Never tried drilling into concrete with it. U wld be better of with a hammer drill

If you need to drill into concrete firstly you must use a masonry bit, then the thickness of the concrete you need to drill would determine what drill is required, I haven't attempted to use my Black and Decker for concrete drilling as I believe that you need a corded power drill for this type of work and as I have a Makita corded drill I use that, however even this drill struggles on some concrete drilling jobs. So to answer your query I would have to say I think this drill would have it's work cut out to handle concrete drilling.

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.

It will do everything you want, with the right bits. A 1" pad is not an issue. I use it to put 4" holes through concrete using a core bit.I'm an electrical contractor. I drive ground rods in with it too.

I am not an expert but I think with a concrete drill bit, it would work....

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!

Absolutely not! These are for metal or wood. You need to look at Masonry Drill Bits for use in concrete drilling. Those drill bits are carbide tipped and the drilling tip is configured to better withstand the abrasiveness of the concrete.

I really have no idea. It works great on everything I have found but a concrete floor may become to slippery perhaps. I myself would like an answer to that myself. good luck

i own the Milwaukee 18v combo drill. I never had a problem even in concrete.These bits are the best I have ever used. They drill better than my other massonary bits.They seem to stay sharp longer.

Don't see what not. I have been using it outside on concrete and it's working fine there. So can't see why inside would be a problem

As long as you use concrete screws instead of the screws provided, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

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.

I have not done this, but from my experience using it for wood, if the underlying surface is flat and smooth, then it should work.If the concrete has a rough or dimpled surface, then it will not work well at all. I would use a wire brush in that case.

Assuming the use of the correct bit, it seems quite capable of drilling into concrete. I would not hesitate to do so.

Not for concrete. It is for little twist drills in wood. Allows use of common twist drills instead of 1/4-inch hex shank drills. It's a convenience to avoid relying on [possibly shoddy] hex shank twist drill bits. A similar gadget (ASIN: B0007WK93E) is made for SDS drills (which work great on concrete with SDS bits) to allow use of common twist drills in wood or metal. It's a convenience to avoid carrying two different drill motors to the job.

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.

Don't even try. You will ruin your tile. Get a diamond tip drill or hole saw for tile. Low speed and try to keep it wet. If you want to drill concrete I will recommend these bits. Have drilled at least 500 holes with the 1/4" and 5/16" bits and still going strong.

Yes, it works great on concrete. A contractor friend told me about it and I have used it ever since.

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.
