I need to demolish a piece of solid concrete about 3" deep by 6" wide by 40" long. Will this work, or should I look at a SDS-Max drill?

Whether target concrete is raised as a step or slab excavation, drilling and chiseling will get the job done. My following note addresses slab excavation. By drilling an outline of area to be removed - say 1" to 2" apart using a smallish ( I used 1/2" SDS ) drill bit - your concrete will crumble when hammered with a chisel bit - I used 3/4" wide Viper chisel ). Removal of about .5 sq.foot took maybe 1/2 hr. You are removing about 3 times as much material but I'm sure you will excavate at a faster rate as you learn how your tool operates. Apart from perforating the concrete ( avoids cracks outside removal zone ), a sledge hammer helps greatly when broken concrete lumps lock up on each other. Good Luck !

These are regular shank drill bits, SDS bits just pushes in to a chuck without tightening and longer. So if your drill chuck doesn't tighten with a key or by hand then these won't work. They usually are a harden steel for chipping or use in a hammer drill and I believe come in larger sizes. This drill set seems to be a very good set for up to 1/4'" material as far as my use so far, and is nicely packaged for your tool box.

I've used it to drill in concrete and stone(in hammer drill setting), worked great for me. depth will depend on the drill bit you get. this machine has plenty of torque so just make sure you drill straight!

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

Yup, with a proper masonry bit the drill will make holes in most concrete that doesn't have re-bar in it.

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.

If you want to drill holes 2-3 inches deep for fasteners, not for drilling through 6 inches of concrete.

The end of the shaft will fit into a 3/8 inch chuck. But I would not recommend using a cordless drill, unless the material you want to mix is very thin. For sand, cement, plaster, concrete, and similar materials, you should use a heavy-duty 1/2 inch corded drill on slow speed.

It will do everything you want, with the right bits. A 1" pad is not an issue. I use it to put 4" holes through concrete using a core bit.I'm an electrical contractor. I drive ground rods in with it too.

Neither one of these is used for concrete, you need a hammer drill for that, the 602 has a little more power, but it likely doesn't hold a charge as long.

The tool is about four inches in diameter. You can use a coded drill with a 3/8" chuck, in fact you will need one. Cordless drill do not have the power to drive this tool efficiently. I don't know what kind of cement you are planning to mix but if you are talking about concrete, which contains coarse aggregate, I wouldn't recommend it. It works great for thinset or drywall compound.

Just drill and case, this thing is huge! We mostly use it with a ground rod driving bit and a 3 inch chisel bit. If you are looking for cheaper bits and easier to find bits from Amazon or Lowes then get an SDS Plus. We had to have this for busting concrete and driving rods through asphalt, hell we even use it with the ground rod bit and a 2x4 and pack dirt around new power poles. This thing don't play!

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!

If you have room to maneuver the drill, the soil is soft enough (will not go thru rock or concrete), and the drill bit long enough, I do not see why not, but there are curved shovels for this that probable work better

It should fit as long as it is an sds or sds plus bit. An sdds max will not fit. However i dont know how well it will work this is not a huge drill and doesn't have a lot of lbs of striking force. A bigger drill would probably work better.

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.
