Can you use the drill for drilling holes into concrete?

Although that is one thing that my husband hasn't tried, I'm sure it will... He has used it on thick steal.

No, You need at least an 18 volt drill to effectively drill concrete and stones found in concrete.

This battery powered drill is a little champ. I use it to drill holes in cement from time to time; however, as for a steady diet of doing holes in cement or concrete, I use a plug-in-the wall rotary hammer style of drill. So, if you are in need of a good, small battery powered drill that you can drill a few (less than 3/8 in diameter) holes in concrete, this drill is fine.

Technically you could, but it would be a very slow drill as the turning speed is nowhere near that of a drill. Not recommended for drilling.

It is a good drill,but I do not recommend it to drill in concrete. get heaver duty.

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.. they take their own bits, but it does a great job drilling holes. I've drilled 1/2" holes through my solid 8" thick foundation several times. It is hard concrete with river rock from the 1940's so it is very hard. It goes through pretty quick.

I used this to drill through 1/2 inch slate and it worked well, so I don't think you would have any problem with concrete. Like Plumber 70 mentioned, you should mist the hole with water as you go to keep the bit cool.

No but calculate size required buy only what you need excellent drill does a 1/2 X 3 inch hole in about 25 seconds into concrete.

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

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.

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.

I would reccomend a hammerdrill instead. It is intended for drilling in concrete. They are usually function as a regular and hammer drill.One like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0008ELQ0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376105960&sr;=8-1π=SL75

Have only used the drill for drilling into brick & mortar and it has worked perfectly. Haven't tried chiseling concrete yet.

I use it for Tapcons and similar on occasion, and it works well enough in concrete. The drill is awesomely powerful for drilling framing members with auger bits and such, which I use it for daily.

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

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