When it comes to chiseling concrete, would this function as good as a small demolition hammer (e.g. Makita HM0870C)?

I use it for chiseling stucco and concrete floors and it does a great job it also works well on tile floors I would say it works good on 3-4 inch concrete projects I don't think this would work on tearing up a whole concrete floor hope this helps

I'll be aw honest, I haven't even had a chance to use it yet. It is still in its case. The tool does look dependable. I'm not sure how well it would do compared to an actual demolition hammer. if it's for small things I think it would work fine but if you are doing lots of concrete demolition you may want to consider something for that specific purpose. sorry I can't say for sure.

This Bosch is good for smaller jobs, the Makita will be faster but may tired you out faster. Bigger is not always better - it depends. You may need both. LOL.

Yes....it does well with concrete. A 7 1/4 inch Diamond Blade is all you will need. I've cut concrete slabs with it.....no problem.

Well you might want the PS130 as it has the Hammer Drill feature used in concrete. Impact rate from 0-19,500.Sorry earlier post said PS131 but I ment PS130.

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.

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.

Whether target concrete is raised as a step or slab excavation, drilling and chiseling will get the job done. My following note addresses slab excavation. By drilling an outline of area to be removed - say 1" to 2" apart using a smallish ( I used 1/2" SDS ) drill bit - your concrete will crumble when hammered with a chisel bit - I used 3/4" wide Viper chisel ). Removal of about .5 sq.foot took maybe 1/2 hr. You are removing about 3 times as much material but I'm sure you will excavate at a faster rate as you learn how your tool operates. Apart from perforating the concrete ( avoids cracks outside removal zone ), a sledge hammer helps greatly when broken concrete lumps lock up on each other. Good Luck !

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.

For drilling concrete you should have a heavy 1/2" hammer drill with a handle that loops behind the chuck. I agree with Kenneth Sparr, not advisable to use this drill for concrete drilling.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely! With your choice of high speed or high torque, the high torque setting has plenty of muscle to drill concrete.

I only plan to use this hammer drill to remove ceramic tiles. I also bought a Bosch chisel.

No, They are designed specifically for SDS Plus type rotary hammer drills, not standard drills/hammer drills. They're built to slide up and down, and are not round where the a regular chuck would clamp them. If you need to drill into concrete, though, an SDS type drill and bits is the best way to go. It's night and day in the difference between using a regular drill with a hammer function and a rotary hammer drill and bit. Rotary hammer drills and bits cut like butter...at least my Bosch does. The bits last far longer and it cuts my labor time tremendously.

Never used it for that but just the straight chisel would work. This one is set at an angle to use on floor tile.

You could, but I think this has more power than you need. I would try a rotary hammer drill (set to hammer only), with a chisel bit.

No this is not the correct tool for concrete. If you're buying just one drill that can also do concrete, a Hammer drill/driver like the 20V Dewalt DCD995B or the smaller Milwaukee M12 Fuel 2404-20 are the types you'll want. The reason you'll want a hammer drill/driver not an impact drill/driver is that hammer drills do the impacts along the axis of the masonry bit, tapping down into the hole, chipping out concrete as they go, whereas impact drivers like the DCF895 do the impacts rotationally, with each tap twisting the screw/bolt a little tighter.
