Can it drill through concrete ?

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!

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.

Not if it doesn't work anymore like mine. With a working one and a good masonary bit however, it will no problem.

I was drilling concrete with 1/2" aggregate on the hammer drill setting. I tried to go through a particularly hard piece of aggregate for about 3 minutes, and the motor burned out. What a bummer.

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

I would say theoretically, yes, but realistically it would be very difficult to get a 7/8" bit to cut a clean hole all the way through the other side to run the wires out, especially without cracking anything. Now if you were pouring new concrete and could leave a spacer for the holes that would definitely be doable.

I don't think it will work to chisel. It does not have a back and forth motion. It's more like a vibration. It vibrates barely enough to go through concrete.There's no chipping action at all.

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

Absolutely-this is a strong 1/2 drive drill. If you are doing a lot of concrete drilling I'd consider a hammer drill but this Dewalt will have more versatility.

I would guess it would depend on how deep. I've used mine to drill about (14) 1/2 inch x 4 inches deep holes into concrete without a problem.

yes, You need a carbide tipped drill bit to drill into the concrete, there are concrete screws which hold in the hole, check your local hardware.

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

Yes , I have used this drill on concrete many times , even a heavy duty professional level and it did the job

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 drilled through a concrete foundation with a new 1/4 inch drill bit in seconds if that helps!

Yes, it can be used on concrete. I have used this drill on my concrete porch to mount railings and handles with no problem at all. It has also done a fine job on the basement floor and wall masonry.

It can, but it has A LOT of power and will probably strip the screw. I would not recommend this drill for putting in screws. I use mine to drill holes in concrete and thick metal. I hope this helps.

Since it cuts holes very well into hard Class 5 porcelain tile, I believe it would cut concrete too. However, once you drill in about the thickness of bath tile, you would need to remove the pilot from the arbor. You would also need to stop periodically to chip and remove the plug because the plug limits how deep you can go. Use lots of water to cool the bit as you drill.

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.

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.
