Does this drill cement or only wood?

It has enough power to drill into concrete but I don't know if the battery would last too long. Not saying it's a bad battery. It's just going to take a long time just using a masonry drill bit. Now if you are going to drill into construction block (like hanging a picture in the basement, or to anchor pipes to your foundation, etc.) it should have more than enough power for four or more holes, depending on the size of the bit. But for solid, poured concrete or a lot of drilling in concrete substances, your best buy would be a hammer-drill, which combines the rotational cutting action of a drill bit with the "hammering" effect of an air hammer, actually fracturing the concrete in front of the bit. Hope your answer is somewhere in there.

Never tried it on cement, though it has plenty of power so it would probably handle the occasional lag shield. I don't think it would take it on a daily basis.

Included in the kit are bits for concrete and and cement. Just take it easy

If you get a cement bit you could do something little. To do construction like a wall, you would need an impact hammer/drill. Those can be rented. They are a 'gun' that forces metal into concrete.

Depends on the wall. Unless it is masonry, you don't need a hammer drill to drill the hole. This will drill holes in wood frame walls just fine.

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

It has been a very good tool for me. I've tried it for wood mostly, but I believe the type of bit you would need would be different for concrete and metal.

It can drill any material a corded version of a medium duty could. Very strong drill for the standard type that it is. Good on wood, metals, plastics. I haven't found a drill yet that is great for stainless steel, that is more in the technique you use. I would not recommend this for mixing heavy thick materials such as large batches of grout, drywall mud, etc. You need a heavy duty type for mixing those items or you will burn most drills up. I also would not recommend for drilling concrete, it could probably do it but best to use a hammer drill. This is a great unit for what it is, just keep in mind they make hammer drills, high torque drills, impact drills, etc. for a reason...each has a purpose and application.

We use this drill for everything around the house. It is not industrial strength/contractors daily use, but it can do anything. You will need a drill bit for that project. Most drill bits are for metal or wood. I believe most people use a hammer drill for drilling into concrete. If its a few smaller holes, I don't see why this one wouldn't work. If the drill gets super hot and isn't making any progress, I would stop and rent a hammer drill. Hope this helps.

We have not tried concrete, though we have to have the drill on the lowest power setting for wood work. We believe that it would do well with concrete, provided you have a good masonry bit. We love the drill!

Thank you for writing. The RH328VC is not designed for drilling into wood, it is too powerful. It is designed for concrete or stone drilling/chipping. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

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.

Pretty much any drill will work on softwoods and plywood. With dense hardwoods a robust drill is better. I also use a dry lube on the drill bit. The faster the drill the cleaner the bit will cut. My favorite is the DeWalt 1/2" 20volt V-max in drill mode. Driving long screws in dense wood the hammer function comes in handy. I use the Kreg system a lot.

no you cannot. you need a drill with a carbide tip for concrete. The best for concrete is a hammer drill and carbide bits.

For drilling in concrete with any regularity, get yourself a Hilti TE1 or TE2 SDS rotary hammer drill. You will be a lot happier. On the other hand, cinder blocks are pretty soft, and you could get away with chucking in a concrete bit and firing away. Hope this helps.

Hi Melissa, Drilling these 3 substances is more dependent on the drills used than the drill driver. I'm sure this driver would allow you to drill any of these materials but if I wanted to drill concrete or metal frequently or continuously, I'd get a heavier drill. For very much concrete drilling a hammer drill would probably work better. This is not a hammer drill.

u can only drill in the softy mortar only if used 4 concrete except if instructions say so

The only time I would use this to drill brick or concrete is with a 3/16" or 1/4" masonry bit for anchors, if I was going to make holes I would use my M18 rotory hammer with an sds bit

That is correct. Only one speed for hammer. It is a fantastic drill and with the Dewalt concrete bits, it will bore a hole in concrete blocks quickly to attach pipe clamps. Have also used it to drill holes into concrete steps to mount hand rails.
