Can this be used to drill holes in masonary surfaces?

Not sure, I actually never thought about that, but will try to see if this tool will hold a drill bit?.

I have never tried that with this drill, but from past experience, you need a hammer drill, or a box full of masonry bits because they will keep breaking.

Yup, with a proper masonry bit the drill will make holes in most concrete that doesn't have re-bar in it.

yes, you can use it as a drill, check out the Dewalt DD5060 impact ready drilling set.

It would 'work' but not optimally. A better choice for that type of wor would be a hammer drill.

It can drill any material a corded version of a medium duty could. Very strong drill for the standard type that it is. Good on wood, metals, plastics. I haven't found a drill yet that is great for stainless steel, that is more in the technique you use. I would not recommend this for mixing heavy thick materials such as large batches of grout, drywall mud, etc. You need a heavy duty type for mixing those items or you will burn most drills up. I also would not recommend for drilling concrete, it could probably do it but best to use a hammer drill. This is a great unit for what it is, just keep in mind they make hammer drills, high torque drills, impact drills, etc. for a reason...each has a purpose and application.

Probably, but the drill itself is a little wobbly (1mm) so if absolute precision is needed, spend some more money on a better model.

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.

Probably if the holes are small and you don't push to hard or get in a hurry. I use it to drill holes in leather for sewing.

Have not used it in masonry, but it seems powerful enough to drill at least small holes with a good masonry bit.

Hi, it's not made to drill little holes but if you do it slowly and they are small holes, you should be okay. Hope this helps.

Well... it depends . It's too slow for drilling. So I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. But I have drilled a few things...took some elbow grease.

Yes. Drill bits can be used in it aslong as it possess a 1/4 drive base. I use them in mine for many tasks. Works great!!

In a word.....No. The output of this drill is rotary motion.....like a regular drill except it has a high speed "pounding/hammering" component too. It is for use with carbide-tipped drills ... and it drills round holes in concrete quickly. That is ALL is is good for. Sorry.

No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

Depends on the wall. Unless it is masonry, you don't need a hammer drill to drill the hole. This will drill holes in wood frame walls just fine.

Yes it will work for drilling holes. It is just not as powerful as the newer 18v drills & will need recharging more often.
