How about drilling 3 inch wood screws in a door frame? Pilot holes first? Yes or no. Masonry?

Big screw but I thing it has the power to do it if you have the right bit. This is a awesome little Hitachi so I would say yes. The right bit is important.

Personally, where I've seen this situation fail is the fault of the drill bit or screw itself stripping out. Not the drill being too weak. Never used it for Masonry. Amazing battery life. I get it out something like once a month for a light project. Haven't recharged in over a year.

With the drill, I would recommend pilot holes. If you get the impact wrench, no need for pilot holes.

I have not used it for big screws or concrete screws. I still use a 1/2 18v Dewalt drill for that job. I have used 2" and it works ok, I bought it because it's light and it works on just about all small to medium jobs.

Hi Melvin, You will need at least 2 people recommended for this. If you are going to bore holes then you would need a drill. Have a great day, Michael Fitzgerald Exclusive Home & Furniture Inc.

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.

Assuming that the wood composite (flake board or pressed sawdust?) is 3/4 inch thick or more, I'd use a half inch wood screw after drilling pilot holes. If you want to be extra conservative fill the pilot hole with Elmers glue before tightening the screw. Your question is more about woodworking than the drawer itself.

Yes. There are actually 4 holes to place the two base screws into. Two on each side. The two holes furthest apart are 6 inches apart while the other holes could be 5 or 4 inches part depending in which you use. I did not need to drill. I used a hammer and a punch to start the hole and then screwed in the screws in less then a minute each. My cabinets are solid wood so may e that is why I was able to do this. I hate clean up after using a drill. Good luck

If the wall is wood or drywall it will easily drill holes. If it's any kind of masonry, it will drill it depending on the size of the hole. Up to 3/8 inch with a masonry bit will work, but it will take some time and let the bit cool every few minutes.

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.

long as you have the right bit. It's not a hammer drill but you can drill small holes ect into masonry and all with a masonry bit.

You should use a masonry bit when you drill into concrete, brick or mortar.

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

Yes, use carbide drill appropriate for size of concrete screw. Use screw with hex head, easier to install.

That's how I'm using it but I think you're correct in that it can be used on masonry. I think the lag bolts that come with it are for masonry and the instructions refer to masonry instillation. But I've had no issues to date.

dont know because its in the North Shore New England and im in LA, but you can mount it on to brick with a standard masonry anchor, just go to home depot and consult the guy in the hardware aisle you just want to male sure that you make the hole using the correct size drill bit so the anchor has the right amount of compression, now if you dont want to drill holes into your nice brick masonry walls, one thing you can do is use a 3/4 or thicker piece of plywood exactly the size of the bracket back plate and paitn it black or to match the brick wall and mount that to the rows of mortar, then you hang your mount on that, or you could just drill the holes on the mounting plate where you need them i very much doubt that it will compromise the structural integrity of the plate at worst it may void the warranty. as long as you properly fasten the top row of bolts ( do like 4 or 5 bolts) you can do with one on either corner at the bottom hope this helps

It comes with screws and spacers, for mounting. I don't recall instructions for mounting to masonry, but don't see any reason why you couldn't use concrete/masonry screws and/or masonry anchors, in place of what they give you. I bought this for my craft room, but it's so sturdy - my husband wants some in the garage, so we'll be purchasing masonry screws/anchors to mount to concrete.

You may need to drill pilot holes for the screws. But I didn't have any problems without drilling them. It just takes a little more force to get the screws started.

Not advisable, however if you're just wanting to drill one hole for something, you can buy a masonry drill bit but they don't last long and it's hard on the drill. It's best to buy a hammer drill if you're going to be doing a lot of concrete/masonry drilling.

Absolutely, use the concrete drill bit, then install a "moly" , then the screws provided in the "Concrete Anchor Kit"--available at hardware store.
