I realize it is not a hammer drill, but can it still effectively be used on concrete from time to time? Thanks

Sure, if you want to drill holes with a concrete bit. It has plenty of power for that.

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

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 has been a very good tool for me. I've tried it for wood mostly, but I believe the type of bit you would need would be different for concrete and metal.

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.

i have not used my ps31-2a 12 for drilling in concrete, because i have a bosch hammer drill that does a great job in concrete. i would expect that this drill would work fine with a good sharp concrete bit, and drilling smaller holes. if you are planning to drill larger holes and deep holes, you should use a larger drill preferably a hammer drill.

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

I'm traveling now and do not have access to the package instructions, but I expect it would do fine with concrete. I used in for multiple holes in porcelain tile which in my experience is much more difficult to drill than concrete. I would NOT think it's a good idea in a rotary hammer. I used it on a slow to medium speed with plenty of water and it worked great. I expect a rotary hammer would be detrimental to it's longevity. I would call Dewalt's customer service for their take on it. 800- 433-9258.

Yes this DeWalt drill can drill through concrete. Beware that this is a cordless drill and the running time is limited compared to a corded drill.

Well, I did not drill concrete with this drill, but if I would need to drill concrete I most likely would use proper bit for concrete and try to do it with corded drill.Also important the thickness you need to drill.

No, these bits are not made to drill into concrete. You need special concrete/stone bits, and you will likely also need a drill with 'hammer' capabilities. Unless this is something you plan on doing regularly, I would go to a tool rental place, ask them for recommendations, and rent the right solution for your needs.

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.

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

Using this drill with concrete drill bits would work for small projects. Heavy drilling should be done with a larger and heavier duty 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).

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.

Idk. Never tried drilling into concrete with it. U wld be better of with a hammer drill

No - this would not nail into concrete. It takes a much more powerful device to nail into concrete. They make: 1: Hammer drills - that do well making a hole into concrete and 2: .22 blank powered devices that actually shoot a special nail into concrete. The Wen air brad nailer is excellent for medium / light duty such as trim around a door or ceiling but NOT for concrete.

This a excellent hammer drill works great for drilling holes in concrete, masonry etc. the hammer is great for removing tile and light concrete chipping however it is not a demolition hammer. Depending on the type of chipping you are considering you might want to consider a heavier unit.
