how does this drill works on concrete does it gets over heated while drilling on concrete?

Not in moderate home use -- no idea under all day professional use, but it seems strong enough to hack it.

It worked very good for me. No overheating. But please make sure you use a good bit. Look for some brands like Bosch, Metabo etc. Actually I beleve that bit is more important than drill.

Yes, it's meant to make easy work on cement and stucco. No issues with over heating. Make sure you buy the drill bits for specifically for that purpose.

I would guess it would depend on how deep. I've used mine to drill about (14) 1/2 inch x 4 inches deep holes into concrete without a problem.

Actually this drill has a cord and runs on a.c. voltage.it works very well. I was using my neighbors hammer drill and wasn't getting the results I have hoped for, actually I thought the 1/2" drill bit I was using dulled. When I received this skil hammer drill I decided to use yhe same drill bit and was surprised how effective and quickly theSkil drill drilled through 4" of concrete.I did try to use a battery operated drill. But the batteries don't last that long and takes to long to charge. The corded drill is effective and a lot faster. Hope this helps.

It is a variable speed and reversible, I actually find that oscillating between the lower rpm and holding down for it to build (quickly) to its top rpm is more effective in penetrating concrete. Quite often this technique works better than just holding down and keeping at its peak rpm as less pressure is needed. And I don't like to over stress a bit or the motor.

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

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

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.

Probably not. The best tool for penetrating tough, dense concrete is a rotary hammer. A hammer drill might work for smaller holes such as pilot holes for self-threading concrete screws. Hammer drills are limited by their chucks and drill bit size- usually 5-8". It takes a different type of chuck to keep the the drill bit 'in' the chuck and rotary hammers have that chuck.

yes, You need a carbide tipped drill bit to drill into the concrete, there are concrete screws which hold in the hole, check your local hardware.

It works great on concrete for small holes. The new one is excellent, I would still be using my old one if it hadn't been underwater for a few days, never had a problem with it until that happened. Richard K

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

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.

Well, I did not drill concrete with this drill, but if I would need to drill concrete I most likely would use proper bit for concrete and try to do it with corded drill.Also important the thickness you need to drill.

No. I have drilled numerous 1/2" holes through 40+ year old concrete and chiseled the same concrete without any leakage of oil. This tool has been working great.

I had the same question. The drill must be pressed against a surface to pulse in the concrete mode. If you just run it in mid air it will not pulse. If you still have trouble with the drill I was told by the manufacturer that they would replace it at no cost.

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.

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.

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.
