The reason I want a hammer drill is to drill into my concrete wall to hang shelves. This does drill into concrete, right? I don't need the heavy duty

I use it to drill into mortar and concrete, but I use a concrete bit, a bit specifically designed to drill into concrete and mortar.

You will be perfectly satisfied with this drill. It's powerful enough these type of jobs and small enough not to tire you out when using for a long period of time. Great drill!

We haven't tried it into concrete. It's probably okay for a couple of holes but you probably need a corded hammer drill to drill many holes. Makita makes other drills that might be more suitable for your use. I'd use a 1/2 HP 110 drill. I'm actually Julie's husband and was a custom builder for 30 years; she bought it for me as a gift. After years in building I needed the light weight drill.

Yes it will drill in concrete. It has a function ring to turn it into a hammer drill. You need to use the appropriate drill bits

It is a good drill,but I do not recommend it to drill in concrete. get heaver duty.

I bought it for the same reason. It goes through concrete like its butter. I love it

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

Neither one of these is used for concrete, you need a hammer drill for that, the 602 has a little more power, but it likely doesn't hold a charge as long.

hammer drill is just like a normal drill but can be use to drill through masonry products with special drill bits in hammer mode. impact drill is just like an impact gun but you can use it for multiple screw bits for around the house or shop. hope this answers your questions if not let me know. will try to explain it better.

In principle, yes. I have drilled some 5/32" holes in concrete with this drill, although I would recommend a larger drill (perhaps 10 amps) if you need to do a lot of heavy drilling. Depending on the volume of your work, you may consider a percussion drill as well.

These do not have a hammer drill feature. I used the impact one for driving in longer screws and bolts. personally, I would seek out a hammer drill for concrete work. These drills back some power so a masonary bit and brick should work fine.

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.

Hello Cheryl, Thank you for asking about our Dewalt drills. For concrete and masonry, we believe any of the Dewalt hammer drills would be able to use a 1/2" bit. The strength of the drill would be determined by the specifications of your project. You can read about the various drills here: www.dewalt.com You may want to also contact DeWalt directly about this matter to get a more precise answer. Have a great day!

A hammer drill would do much better for concrete and metal. But I have to say that this drill is fine for wood. It has a drill setting and a screw setting for whatever wood job you may have.

I believe the "hammer" is to help break up and force the bit through tough materials like concrete etc. while the bit is rotating. Its still a drill with a hammer action to assist.

My husband says that he wouldn't use it for concrete. They make hammer drills specifically for drilling into harder materials. Hope this answer didn't come too late for you!

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

It comes with anchor bolts for concrete walls, but for stick frames I would use lag bolts. It wants to dig into the drywall on a regular wall so I plan to build a frame with a couple 4x4's and have it right up against the wall.

if You are putting a few holes in cured concrete ..yes. if You are trying to secure a wall or install rebar You need a hammer drill and BOSCH has them as well. a hammer drill is superior to ALL other types of drills for concrete drilling

The question makes almost no sense!!Is he asking will it be OK to use an electric hammer drill to mix a portland cement mortar in a can or other container?If that's the case, then there should be no problem as that is a very powerful drill and as long as he does't get mortar into the drill motor!!Hope this helps!V.C.F

It is not necessary to mount this into studs on your concrete wall. However, you will need to make sure you purchase the correct mounting hardware for your application.

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.

Mitch - I don't think the design of this would be all that great for using with/as a hammer drill. While it may work just fine, I would think it would start to fall apart at some point from the constant hammering. Just my opinion -
