Only used a corded drill to drill through concrete,never used a battery driven drill like this one, Is this powerful enough to drill through concrete?

I used this drill to mount my winch in my concrete wall inside my boathouse. I was able to drill 4 holes 5 1/2 inches into my concrete on one battery. The bits were 3/4 inch in diameter. My buddy and I were very impressed.

Check to make sure that this model has the "hammer drill" function, in which case it operates like a regular drill or a hammer drill, made for drilling in concrete with the proper carbide tipped hammer drill bits. The XRP line is the most powerful and sturdy of the Dewalt cordless products.

It works great on concrete for small holes. The new one is excellent, I would still be using my old one if it hadn't been underwater for a few days, never had a problem with it until that happened. Richard K

I wouldn't recommend drilling into concrete with this drill. If it were me, I would use an electric corded drill for that task.

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.

No, this is sold normally as the tool only. I disagree with one answer that this is not a professional tool. It is as good as it gets. I've drilled through 1/4 inch steel plate many times and used it to bore 5/8" anchor holes in brick, concrete and masonry. It works as well as a $400.00 SDS drill. It's brushless and will run at least twice as long on one battery charge. Whether you are professional or handy around the house this will be your go to drill for all purposes. It's lightweight and uses the same battery that all the other Makita cordless tools use. I see these lined up on all sorts of construction and remodeling sights. I own eight of the Makita 18volt tools and carry them in my truck all the time.

A masonry bit is essential to drill concrete but since it's usually a long, drawn out process, I would only consider a corded drill.

It is more driver than a drill, so I will use it for drywalls and wood working.For concrete I use an hammer drill (although from power point of view the tools are strong enough to handle break wall).

Three answers: 1) Great tool to drill holes in wood. Lots of torque and power. 2) For concrete if you're only drilling a few holes. My preference for concrete would be a corded hammer-drill/rotary hammer. The drilling ability depends if larger rocks or sand was used with cement making concrete. 3) This tool is simple to use. Hope this helps.

Depends on the power of the cordless drill and whether it is hammer operated. These are masonry bits, so they are supposed to drill through concrete, stucco, and brick. Read the reviews. Personally, I used them to easily drill through stucco, but I used a corded hammer drill.

i would watch the videos at www.milwaukeetool.com, i believe they are actually drilling through concrete and bricks in the video. if that doesn't help they have customer service support that should answer your questions, you can also try youtube.com. i have the 18volt hammer drill and i haven't found anything yet it can't handle.

I believe a hammer drill would be a little more heavy duty for going into concrete. Depending on how hard a job it is, it may suffice, at the risk of burning out the motor?

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

The drill is very easy to operate. It could drill fence posts very easily. I have not tried to drill concrete. However, it has plenty of torque so I would guess it could drill into concrete pretty well.

No this drill is far to light to drill concrete you would be better of spending more and gettig the 36v

i use a dewalt cordless drill, (any cordless drill will do ( just as long as ithe chuck size is: either 3/8" or 1/2". i use it mainly putting in grass plugs. works great. just control the speed because it really digs fast. greg

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.

One is a drill and the other is an impact driver. The drill I use on metal,plastic,and wood. I would question how long the battery would last drilling concrete. Not very experienced with concrete though.
