Does this drill break the tile and demo concrete slap good??

I purchased this for removing pointing on stone wall, which I have not done yet. I did use it to break up some pieces of concrete curb at the end of my driveway. It did work, but I would say a larger tool would be better. I would say it will work in a pinch, but if you are looking for a tool specifically to demo concrete 4+ inches thick it is a bit light. If it is just tile on a 1" to 2" slab of concrete I think it would work great.

Yes. I have not used the drill much but it seems to be pretty powerful. Hope this helps.

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.

No way! It only works 50% of the time. I would definitely not trusted before breaking up concrete.

In a hammer drill? No way- This is drill bit a bull in a china shop- you will shatter that tile like glass!

i own the Milwaukee 18v combo drill. I never had a problem even in concrete.These bits are the best I have ever used. They drill better than my other massonary bits.They seem to stay sharp longer.

I'll be aw honest, I haven't even had a chance to use it yet. It is still in its case. The tool does look dependable. I'm not sure how well it would do compared to an actual demolition hammer. if it's for small things I think it would work fine but if you are doing lots of concrete demolition you may want to consider something for that specific purpose. sorry I can't say for sure.

Yes, it's a great drill. Check the prices at the big box hardware stores. You will come back and order this one!

I have not tried the saw on concrete partly because I love my Makita Hypoid Saw too much. I like to keep the sole plate in good condition. To score concrete, and by that I assume the asker is say score lines to encourage the concrete to crack in a score line not an uncontrolled place in the middle of the slab, I use a Ryobi Wet/Dry Saw with a 4" Diamond Blade. See Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRTC400 11 Amp 4 in. Handheld Wet/Dry Tile Saw

It is def powerful enough but i would advise against unless its for removing tile. If you are cutting tile finish work use a tile saw

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.

I had the same question. The drill must be pressed against a surface to pulse in the concrete mode. If you just run it in mid air it will not pulse. If you still have trouble with the drill I was told by the manufacturer that they would replace it at no cost.

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.

In answer to the question, can this item remove tile from a concrete subfloor?" Well the answer is yes it can, but the question then is at what result? This is a handy hand held heavy jackhammer that can be handled by the average man, and can do some serious demolition work. But like most jackhammers, it has to be in contact with a solid object to pound away at things. It can not do stripping jobs. In my experience removing tile from a subfloor, you want something lighter weight, more like 20 ponds instad of the 65 pounds this thing weighs. You also want to preserve the floor, and this tough hammer will deninately be able to hurt the sub floor. And you will want a flat scraper tool which this hammer will not fit. My suggestion for tile removal is possibly an electric sawsall and one of the new stripper blades made for them, found at the hardware stores, or on Amazon, or an upright floor chipper with a flat blade. The old way of course is a hammer and wide chizzel. My best suggestion is what I use, an air compressor and a pnematic floor chizzel and blade for tough tile removal. Safety glasses always! This tool is a hand held jackhammer and probably a little rough for your needs on this particular job.

Probably not. The best tool for penetrating tough, dense concrete is a rotary hammer. A hammer drill might work for smaller holes such as pilot holes for self-threading concrete screws. Hammer drills are limited by their chucks and drill bit size- usually 5-8". It takes a different type of chuck to keep the the drill bit 'in' the chuck and rotary hammers have that chuck.
