Could I use this attachment, with a masonry bit, to drill a 3/8" hole into a concrete slab (my carport)?

I would probably still use my hammer drill from harbor freight....that's what it's made for....and for 24 bucks why beat up your black and decker

It should be ok being an impact driver. Should work somewhat like a hammer drill.

No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

Yes, This is a hammer drill that is excellent for drilling into masonry. Make sure you have a good bit and you should be fine.

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

Sure, if you use a masonry bit, but a hammer drill is a better choice for drilling brick and concrete.

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.

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.

Purchase a masonry bit. Can purchase at any lowes menards Home Depot or hardware.

I haven't tried to use mine for masonry yet. But the hammer drill function works great for starting screws in metal roofing so I don't see why it wouldn't work well for masonry work. This is a great drill with incredible torque and battery life.

It's got lots of power and sturdiness so I think it'll do fine with the correct bit. You might go through a few bits, depending on depth and strength of concrete but the drill will hold up.

The drill itself can be used to drive something that will cut the granite, but I do not know if the concrete core bit can be successfully used to cut the stone. I bet the manufacturer of the bit can answer that question.

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

Thank you for your interest. Yes, the Bosch HD21-2 would work for drilling holes into concrete with the proper bit as long as the diameter of the hole is not larger than 7/8" which is the maximum capacity for this hammer drill. If you need to drill larger diameter holes we would recommend one of our larger rotary hammers. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

Not really certain but, it's probably not long enough. Try a large and long masonry bit and/or call a local paving stone supplier and ask what they use.

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.

Sure. I used a 3/8 inch cordless drill and did fine. However, depending on the size hole you are drilling be sure to use a drill with enough power. I had to take be careful not to push mine too hard as it started to overheat.

We haven't tried it into concrete. It's probably okay for a couple of holes but you probably need a corded hammer drill to drill many holes. Makita makes other drills that might be more suitable for your use. I'd use a 1/2 HP 110 drill. I'm actually Julie's husband and was a custom builder for 30 years; she bought it for me as a gift. After years in building I needed the light weight drill.
