Is this good for drilling into masonry? Need to drill pilot holes for eye screws to attach faux ivy shade screens and supports for lattice trellis.

Yes, not as gods as a hammer drill,but it will work. Worked good for about 9 months and then the switch wore out.

It is a very strong drill and will probably work fine if you are just doing small jobs.

My husband says with the right bit, it should work fine. He has used it to drill into concrete. Hope this helps.

Yes, my wife used it to drill some holes in a ceramic pot she wanted to put some plants in. Just be careful and let the drill bit do the work, do not press hard or you can break the ceramic pot. We use a soapy water solution that we pour where we plan to drill to reduce friction and heat. Good luck!

Yes, these should work fine with a cordless drill. I used an 18 Volt DEWALT cordless drill/driver and the large bit from this set to cut through a thick masonry planter for my garden and it worked great. Most grout and cement board is fairly easily drilled through even with a old fashioned hand drill.

No, no masonry bits here. If you do get masonry bits for the job be aware that some are not for use with impact drivers. If you are doing large, deep or a quantity of holes consider buying/renting a hammer drill with SDS bits - it goes a lot faster. And wear eye protection!

OK, these bits are used for thin metal, wood and plastic (PVC). See right hand corner of package. If you are drilling into concrete, use masonry bits. Otherwise, this set of drill bits are great for general purposes.

I haven't tried to use mine for masonry yet. But the hammer drill function works great for starting screws in metal roofing so I don't see why it wouldn't work well for masonry work. This is a great drill with incredible torque and battery life.

Sure, just get a masonary bit for your drill. May want to get mason screws as well. The screws they provide with these bars were on the cheap side anyway.

If you use hex ended drill bits you can. However, the driver turns slowly so it would only work for soft material with not a lot of depth needed. I only use it for started holes for screws.

Depending on the size of hole that is needed. It could be used in such a manner. Using it for Tap-Con screws, drop-in anchors, etc.

I put mine in wood but I would assume the length of the screw would depend upon the thickness of the masonry and the weight the line would be required to hold. I would probably use 1-1/2 or 1-7/8

With the existing hardware, no; you would need to purchase additional masonry anchors from your local hardware store along with masonry drill bits. Because repairing mistakes in brick and cement is difficult, careful and precise measurements are essential.

No. The downward impact may not be enought to break masonary. Buy the crafstman bolt-on hammer drill attachment, it will fit the B&D; matrix system and work on masonry

you'll have to drill and use cement anchors - but yes, it can work. YouTube cement anchor or Masonry Molly and you'll see what you need to do.

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.

The 3rill is a Drill/Driver/Impact driver, not a hammer drill. It has a 1/4" Hex Shank chuck and I am unaware of any masonry bits that will work with this type of chuck. To answer your question, could you.....probably, should you.....no. I would recommend getting a hammer drill for this purpose. Check out the Rockwell Shop Series hammer drill, it is fairly inexpensive and will do exactly what you need. Rockwell ShopSeries RC3136 7 Amp 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill

Yes... if you can find Concrete Bits that fit the quarter inch Hex, go for it... I love my impact... really good for driving screws and bolts in to masonry or Concrete... Never used Concrete bits in impact...Yet... but you can buy bit and screws in a kit... just drill the hole like normal... unless your planning to use the huge ones... but in Cynder blocks... works fine. I also drilled 3/8 inch lags screws, into predrilled holes... do not drill holes bigger then the shaft of the screw.. if you drill them the size of the threads... will not gripI hope this helped...

HI, I would not use them for masonary work, fine for anything else though including hardened metals.
