This drill met all all my expectations. Used it to drill about 27 holes in a concrete slab floor. Still going strong. I had an email question for the manufacturer and they replied quickly and also stated that if I wasn't satisfied with the drill I could return it for a refund.

I bought this product for that application - to drill holes in my concrete condo floors for securing 1/2 inch plywood underlay for hardwood flooring. After getting one screw in and a box of well made concrete drill bits, I gave up on this hammer drill. I found the hammer function to be very ineffective.I ended up using another tool to attach the plywood to the concrete. I do not recommend this product.

Mine went into 2-3 inches of concrete like it was butter.....well, almost. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole first and then a 3/8 hole to put in epoxy and a piece of 5/16 allthread rod (4 places) to mount a garden hose reel securely. (Now I don't have to stand on the hose reel to stabilize it......I just crank away.) This is a homeowner's dream ...... but NOT contractor's grade (add a few hundred $ more for a high-quality/use it all day contractor's tool).

I'm sorry I can not help you much.I purchased this drill for my Father.He wanted it for both purposes if he needed it.However I'm not sure if he ever used it for either?It's a nice looking heavy feeling drill.I showed him how it worked and it worked is all I can say.For the price and for what he may or may not need,it's a great purchase.

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.

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

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

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.

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 say yes as it is very sturdy. Be prepared however that if it hits thick roots or rocks the bit tends to grab and will twist the drill right out of your hands. Use a big powerful drill w two handles and go slow.

If it was were me, I would try it. The drill has plenty of power, just go slow and easy, and I think you will be okay.

We have not tried concrete, though we have to have the drill on the lowest power setting for wood work. We believe that it would do well with concrete, provided you have a good masonry bit. We love the drill!

I purchased this drill because of its excellent ratings. I'm a girl, so the jobs I've asked it to perform have been minimal; however, I'm having some repairs and updating done around my house, and my contractor loves it! He has drilled a few holes in concrete to set screws for a metal threshold, so that much I know. In my opinion, it would adequately drill holes in fence posts. I plan to use it when we put a new fence up in the spring.

It's got lots of power and sturdiness so I think it'll do fine with the correct bit. You might go through a few bits, depending on depth and strength of concrete but the drill will hold up.

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 would say so...Its a good tool and works well. Even if the drill doesn't spin fast enough, it will just take longer to complete your project

Depends on the size of screw or lag bolt. Think of it as a mini impact driver. I haven't drilled into concrete with it but I wouldn't hesitate to try small diameter concrete screws or concrete drill bits for holes not greater than 1/4 inch. If you want to use drill bits to make holes you will need an attachment chuck since the Dewalt only has a hex head chuck. Hope this helps. I really like this drill - it has long battery life and has surprised me with its power.

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.

you can use as impact on smaller fasteners/screws. the hammer drill part is for use in masonry applications w/ masonry drill bits. depends on what your application is going to be. If you do not plan on using the hammer drill option, I would consider the regular drill or drill driver. I bought mine to use as a hammer drill only. Hope this helps, good luck

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