has anyone tried to drill a 2" hole through a EP Henry concrete wall block?

I have, but not with a hole saw of this type. These bits are designed to drill through material not exceeding the total depth of the drill bit. They are great on glass and ceramic tile not exceeding 1/2" thickness. You would be better served using a large hammer drill with a 2" BIT. The bit itself would have to be as long or longer as the material you're drilling through (i.e., 8" block would require a 10 or 12" bit). These drills and bits are available to rent at most rental tool facilities. The expense of purchasing would exceed $800.00.

i would watch the videos at www.milwaukeetool.com, i believe they are actually drilling through concrete and bricks in the video. if that doesn't help they have customer service support that should answer your questions, you can also try youtube.com. i have the 18volt hammer drill and i haven't found anything yet it can't handle.

It's possible, usually use a lead screw anchor in a hole drilled in the brick with a cement drill. Driving in the screw expands the lead and makes a tight fit. Any hardware store should be able to supply the right drill, anchors and advice.

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

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.

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

I'm sure it could be done with any number of devices. You would have to drill into the concrete.

No, you need a concrete bit to drill. Is a little bit difficult but it can be done. Love the lock & very secure. Hope this help.

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.

If you remove debris from the core of the drill as you go, you can drill the depth of the bit plus the extension, about a foot as I recall. I bored through an 8" thick concrete block wall with no problems by periodically pulling back the bit and cleaning it out. Use a steady trickle of water and a powerful drill for best results, also keep the speed down. Hope this helps.

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!

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.

Nope.. this would be a bad idea. Maybe a big concrete drill bit might work ok, but any normal drilling calls for a true drill motor. I have the matching 20v drill and it works great.

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.
