Is this suitable for drilling into concrete?

It's what they are made for. They do not fit a standard chuck drill, it needs to be an SDS type. I used a regular DeWalt hammer drill, with normal masonry bits, at first. I switched to a Bosch with these bits. What a difference! These bits, in the Bosch (you can use other brands of SDS) drill concrete like butter. Fast, far less noise, less fatigue, less intrusion on clients.

I used the new 4 channel design(pulls concrete dust up and out) this past thursday and friday to drill 80 holes in 6" high density concrete to set stainless posts for glass pool fence. Then i used the chisels to hammer out the concrete to accept the 2 floor gate swings. The bits/chisels with the Bosch Bulldog was simply awesome! I give it as many stars as I can.

Yes these bits are made specifically for drilling into concrete, brick, etc.

Concrete is like butter. i haven't had any problem with any rock. Quality bits!

Yes it can be used to fill holes in concrete. If the hole is less than 3/4 inch I think the liquid repair is preferred. The liquid does best to repair cracks.

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.

Yes it will drill in concrete. It has a function ring to turn it into a hammer drill. You need to use the appropriate drill bits

Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

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 concrete you should have a heavy 1/2" hammer drill with a handle that loops behind the chuck. I agree with Kenneth Sparr, not advisable to use this drill for concrete drilling.

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.

A hammer drill would do much better for concrete and metal. But I have to say that this drill is fine for wood. It has a drill setting and a screw setting for whatever wood job you may have.

Yes it can. A hammer drill with masonry bit will be needed to drill the holes in the concrete. Blow out the holes with air after drilling, then fasten with Tapcon masonry screws. They are blue screws and available at any home improvement store

Yes , I have used this drill on concrete many times , even a heavy duty professional level and it did the job

No - this would not nail into concrete. It takes a much more powerful device to nail into concrete. They make: 1: Hammer drills - that do well making a hole into concrete and 2: .22 blank powered devices that actually shoot a special nail into concrete. The Wen air brad nailer is excellent for medium / light duty such as trim around a door or ceiling but NOT for concrete.

definitely not. You need a hammer drill and hammer drill drill bits for concrete drilling

No this is not the correct tool for concrete. If you're buying just one drill that can also do concrete, a Hammer drill/driver like the 20V Dewalt DCD995B or the smaller Milwaukee M12 Fuel 2404-20 are the types you'll want. The reason you'll want a hammer drill/driver not an impact drill/driver is that hammer drills do the impacts along the axis of the masonry bit, tapping down into the hole, chipping out concrete as they go, whereas impact drivers like the DCF895 do the impacts rotationally, with each tap twisting the screw/bolt a little tighter.

They are not designed for concrete. There is a specific type of drill and bits for concrete and masonry. So you would ideally want to use a hammer drill with a masonry bit. There are drills that have a hammer switch setting for concrete that work well with masonry bits in concrete.

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

My husband says that he wouldn't use it for concrete. They make hammer drills specifically for drilling into harder materials. Hope this answer didn't come too late for you!
