Can the drill damage walls?

I suppose if it was pushed hard enough it could mar the paint but it is very rounded on the end so in general I would say, no.

I guess if your child is determined enough! It's made of pretty solid plastic, so if he/she pushed really hard into the wall with the drill it would probably make a hole.

I doubt it. The drill bits (Phillips head and straight head) are like jumbo crayons, and drill really isn't that strong. I gave this toy to my 3 year old grandson after reading that sometimes the drill didn't work. Sure enough, when he opened the box the drill would only go in reverse and nothing I could do would make it go forward. He still liked playing with it because of the sound it made. Once his father came home and looked at the drill, he was able to make the forward/reverse switch move enough to make the drill work in forward speed. But my grandson didn't see that fix happen, and I left town before my grandson had another chance to play with the toy. I doubt it.

It might make some small marks in the paint but your drywall is safe unless the drill is beat in with a hammer.

no not unless they hit the wall with it with the drill part. They would have to hit pretty hard.

I donot know directly. GET A PROFESSIONAL*** MY OWN KNOWLEDGE DRILL USE use a long molly and screw to go beyond the brick

Yes it does have the torque. Strong enough to break the screw in the hole or strip the head. If the wood is hard it is always best to drill a hole first. No need to for plywood or paneling or most two by fours. I love this drill so much that I bought two of them, one for me and one for my wife.

Nope, maybe it's just excess lubricant from the insides of the drill. I used my drill for a month of day to day use. It served my needs when I had to fasten two Quonset Huts down with anchor bolts and cap it with end walls.

No, it is intended to make a mark so your drill bit will start cutting at the center point where you need a hole drilled. Not as a safety device for breaking glass out as you are asking.

You can, but it does not spin fast enough to do a good job. Soft wood maybe, but nothing else. I would nor recommend using is as a drill except when you are in a real bind.

It has drills. But I'm not quite sure if your wall is too hard to drill. Wood is easy to drill by it.

Sounds like grit, perhaps sand got inside. Maybe the drill was dropped on a hard surface and landing on the chuck. VM

Yes, but I've found it does'nt have a great deat of torque. Drilling in wood will sometimes stop the drill.

I've been drilling through a 1/2 piece of birch hardwood when I use it and have had no problems. Hope this helps

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.

To be perfectly frank, I honestly do not know. However, based on the fact that I velcroed mine to the wall I am going to say 'no'. BUT, I could have done that because I have real plaster walls and I didn't want to make a mess out of them by drilling. Good luck!

Hi Mike. Yes, I mounted this unit to the finished walls in my house. First, to answer your question, there is no damage to the drywall associated with the installation. The 4 holes you drill are hidden behind the mounting plates. However, the unit is pretty close to the wall, and I've had some...minor yet unexpected issues from use. First is that it's easy for your feet to strike the wall when doing pull-ups. Once you start exerting yourself, it's easy for your feet to swing around a bit. Avoid wearing shoes and this shouldn't be an issue. Secondly, I've noticed that over time, there are some stains on the wall that I can only assume are coming from sweat or saliva when I'm grunting out the final reps. As for installation, I have a couple tips that I uncovered while installing mine. First, find the center of just one stud. I use a stud finder, but then used a 1/64" drill bit to drill to the left and right, so when I was off the stud on each side, I could split the difference and be sure I was in the exact center. This unit mounts with large lag screws, and if you are not in the middle it could break out during use...anyway, then what you want to do is mount this first unit to the wall, but only tighten up the lag screw just unit the unit holds itself on the wall. Then, mount the pull-up cross bar to the wall mount, just getting it slightly snug. Then, place the second wall mount up and bolt the cross bar to it, finger tight. Using a level, parallel the mounting plates and mark your holes. This is important because there is very little play between the cross bar and the mounts; if you are off by even a little bit, the bolts won't drop into place. By having the cross bar in place and finger tight before you drill your second set of holes solves this. Oh, one last thing. The foam grips are comfortable, but don't hold up well at all if you are using gloves. Be prepared to buy some rubberized grip tape within a few months. All in all, this is a very solid unit for the price, and I'd buy one again. Best, Bill.

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.

No. Unless u use those glad sticky strips. But I think any drilling would crack it.

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

I think it could but if you are not naturally handy then it could also end up being a waste of time and money in the end and if you damage the wall in the process then you will have to put time and money into fixing that. I am all for DIY by the way though and if that's your thing go for it.
