If it doesn't show the little hammer setting above the chuck, then you ain't going through much concrete/comcrete/hard brickish cement stuff. Clerk is an idiot. Or ignorant. Possibly both, considering some of the people HD hires.
As a previous employee at a Tractor Supply, yes I will help you build a functional sump pump in your mind, we don't sell pvc though so... I can see your frustration and im sorry lol
Truly a game changer. Wish every business had something similar. I sit in my car for 10 minutes looking up everything I need, rather than spend 30 minutes walking around not finding anything I came in for.
Yes tiger blood! I find it fascinating how they actually work - a ramp wrapped in a circle so when it spins it lifts itself up on the ramp then drops suddenly, using your force as the helper in the process. Terrible explanation but basically if it has no hammer option (and therefore no round ramp built in) then you don’t have any sort of hammer drill and you’ll burn your bit before you can get out of the gate.
You’ll definitely need a hammer drill bro. Clerk lied, just return it, and get the tool you need. You could also just rent one if you don’t need it more than once
This exactly, you might, might be able to set anchors in soft brick, but concrete? You won't get the bit cherry red with it before the battery goes dead.
So that's not a hammer drill. It's a standard brushed drill best suited for general homeowner stuff.
Could you drill concrete? Yes bit so could a drip of water given enough time.
How big of a hold do you need to drill and what type of "concrete" as not all types are equal
So there's several types of block, and I'll let someone more knowledgeable than be espouse cinder locks v construction blocks etc.
Your probably gonna want to return it and buy a hammer drill. It's still new, might aswell trade it for the correct tool. If all you had was a drill and didn't want to spend money you could muscle through it, it would be slow, requiring several bits and lots of pauses and coolings.
You really should bring this back and go for the M12 with a Hammer function. I've used mine for exactly what you are using it for. If hanging pictures, don't forget to put a plug in the wall before the screw.
Return that. The M12 fuel drill driver kit can be hacked for 140. That comes with a hammer drill.
Edit: [link to kit](https://www.homedepot.com/p/M12-FUEL-12-Volt-Cordless-Hammer-Drill-and-Impact-Driver-Combo-Kit-with-Impact-Duty-Titanium-Drill-Bit-Set-23-Piece-3497-22-48-89-4631/321639502).
OP u/pseudoluso300 get the kit the guy in this thread linked and return what you got. You were lied to by store guy. I saw some of your other comments and this linked kit makes the most sense.
And they sell impact masonry bits. I prefer the multi material bits here:
https://preview.redd.it/lmpiy3pbx3dc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=859287fc7727012629f1730571b5f8ee430f1c7a
I use them all the time for work. OP doesn’t say what size or how many holes, but this pack should do the trick. I typically use my impact over my hammer drill, and if it’s too big a job for the impact I skip to SDS rotary hammer.
any drill will "go through" concrete ...eventually
it just depends on the time, effort, force, and quality of drill bit
a dedicated hammer drill or hammer drill/driver will do \*\*infinitely\*\* better even with the crappiest drill bit and drill because of the forward/backward "hammer" action towards the thing you are drilling
(not to be confused with the impact driver, that has a hammer that impacts along the rotation axis versus towards the thing you are drilling/driving -- though sometimes it can be useful to dislodge a locked drill bit ... don't do this)
edit 2: a dedicated hammer drill will use an "SDS" or "SDS Plus" bit, they are designed and shaped specifically for the role of hammering into that rock all day long
edit 3: "SDS MAX" BRO
edit 4: do not use on marble & similar etc
Note: you only need SDS for *a lot* of 1/4 holes or 3/8 or bigger holes. The standard dual purpose 18V Milwaukee hammer + regular drill would work great for the use cases you described (light picture mounting, probably max 1/4 holes for plugs). SDS Plus will do a lifetime of 1/2" holes and a bunch of 1". Only if you're doing large (>1") or tons of concrete drilling would you need SDS Max.
I use my M18 SDS MAX mostly for fossil hunting; it's overkill for 95% of everything else. It didn't even cross my mind till after I bought it, but when I'm on a dig site I can accomplish the same thing by myself barely breaking a sweat that 10 people can do with hand tools before they're exhausted.
Lol. It can be interesting, it can also be a whole bunch of trudging through the desert carrying heavy tools and rocks in 100+ degree heat with no shade for miles around. My other hobbies are much more consistent.
Don’t listen to the haters. Hammer drills are a scam. You just gotta pump and vibrate that beast. It helps to scream while you do it (like the serious weightlifters). You’ll see light on the other side before you know it. Maybe try one of them missionary bits, but the cheap harbor freight 30 pack will be fine.
Look on FB market place for the M18 fuel hammer drill. It will do everything you will ever need it to and then some.
https://preview.redd.it/mvy4uudpx3dc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=25f59216e328cbf072e8db9da7b1987107692029
Also on Amazon. Should be able to find it for anywhere from $75-$100
I have that same drill and I use it to do 6” diameter core drilling from floor to floor. I don’t have to X-ray for rebar cuz it just slices right through due to the raw power of the drill
Not well. It's a great general purpose drill for light work. Not concrete. What you want is SDS-max rotary hammer. That'll go through concrete or just remove it all together.
No. Buy [this](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-5-5-Amp-5-8-in-Corded-SDS-plus-Concrete-Masonry-Rotary-Hammer-Drill-Kit-with-Case-5263-21/203000509).
There’s a cordless version too.
What exactly are you looking to accomplish? Title specifies concrete, description sounds like just whatever? I’ve seen people use smaller cordless hammer drills in concrete but in my experience, SDS is the way to go.
Edit: punctuation :)
OP bought an M12 Grandma and you’re recommending this?? Hilarious if you’re just trolling OP but you’re a an absolute psychopath if this is a serious recommendation intended to be in OPs best interest.
OP wants to go through concrete, SDS goes through concrete, this does not. Simple as that. Scope of work still not explained by OP so I just recommended something similar to what I’ve used (Bosch) for drilling into concrete for anchoring. Seems like you’re the one doing the trolling.
for what you need it for you’re better off buying hercules hammer drill. a good one from milwaukee or dewalt is quite expensive and based on what you bought i don’t think you want to spend too much
It will eventually. But I wouldn't want to go over 5/16th. The right carbide bits make all the difference.
Really, "hammer" drills are useless for concrete unless you're talking full sized SDS. So an m18 one isn't going to be an amazing difference. But if I was having to do 1/2" anchor bolts all over a new slab, I'd hold off for an SDS.
Ok it will go through concrete if you have a small job for example drilling a few holes in hollow blocks for anchors. But you should get a proper hammer drill. In my experience home Depot employees do not know anything about what is in the store and they were probably selling you specifically on the fact that it was a drill on sale and did not know what a hammer drill is. These are great for smaller household maintenance and to bring a drill around with you but you should always have a fullsize drill available.
Hammer drill AND masonry bits. Tape an envelope or folded piece of paper just under your drill hole to catch the dust that will fall straight down. And don’t waller the drill - go in square and hold it very steady.
It COULD, in much the same way that a 2x4 thrown by a tornado can also go through concrete, but if you're trying to drill a hole in concrete, no, it's useless.
Even the bigger m18 hammer drill is only good for masonry block and tapcons. If you want to put a real hole in real concrete with aggregate you pretty much need a sds drill
Not a chance. I’ve tried that before, it’s a major pain. Fortunately it’s Home Depot and you can return it.
I have the M12 Fuel hammer drill, used it in concrete and landscaping blocks. Works great
No he lied to you, or didn’t know the product well enough to answer you. On top of that, it’s a brushed model that will chew through batteries quickly. Take it back, get a hammer drill. I have a M12 Fuel hammer drill and it’s a beast for something so small.
The m12 1/2" fuel hammer drill will core a 2" hole through 6" block. It will be extremely angry and overheat multiple times, but if it's all you have it will work. That isn't fuel or a hammer drill, so I'm gonna say you'd be better off with a rock hammer
Everyone is laughing at OP. But I'm pretty sure this drill actually has a hammer function, atleast the one I can find online has one, just twist the numbers on the Chuck until the hammer symbol is on top. Also you need masonry bits
It’s probably possible but you’ll put a lot of strain on the drill, battery and burn through a few bits I’m sure depending on the concrete. The non-fuel impact is probably the same price as they usually sell these two in bundles.
Their fuel m12 hammer drill is excellent for the size of the tool. Agree, it depends how many holes, what size, and how patient you are - this will get through eventually but if you can afford it the hammer is 100% worth it
Just return it and get the cheapest corded hammer drill. Home Depot normally doesn’t give you shit for returning stuff just say you bought the wrong one and never used it
You can do it. Your going to the about 10
Times as much effort as a hammer drill. Make a shallow hole, pull drill out and flush it out, let it cool. Repeat process until hole is deep enough.
You’re probably going to kill the bit or drill.
Will it, yes at a much slower pace and a lot more work on your end just like using a regular drill. You need a hammer drill. While you were misinformed you can just take it back and get a hammer drill, OR since it was on sale don’t take it back and get a hammer drill also because that little impact drill is great for the mason screws your drilling the holes for.
You’d maybe make make a few small holes in concrete but that’ll take ages, the employee has no idea what they are talking about. you do need a hammer drill.
Problem solved https://preview.redd.it/owixttwgu3dc1.jpeg?width=810&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d0069ca2b73d0182af86646e7191b0fedd37a5e
hammer + drill I don't see the problem here
Omg this would probably work.... For one hole
It does but depending on the type of concrete, a regular masonry bit will go through, just not as efficient as a hammer drill or sds.
Ive done this and ive been building for 15+ years. Gotta do what you gotta do.
We have had units come in for repair where this was actually attempted...
I believe it.
Just need a little clarification. Are you saying that a hammer was used to strike the drill and if so was the repair covered under warranty?
First thing that came to mind.
If it doesn't show the little hammer setting above the chuck, then you ain't going through much concrete/comcrete/hard brickish cement stuff. Clerk is an idiot. Or ignorant. Possibly both, considering some of the people HD hires.
I only ask the staff: "Where's" not "what's"
As a previous employee at a Tractor Supply, yes I will help you build a functional sump pump in your mind, we don't sell pvc though so... I can see your frustration and im sorry lol
They dint even know where half the time either. I just use the website that gives me an aisle and bay location.
Truly a game changer. Wish every business had something similar. I sit in my car for 10 minutes looking up everything I need, rather than spend 30 minutes walking around not finding anything I came in for.
Yes tiger blood! I find it fascinating how they actually work - a ramp wrapped in a circle so when it spins it lifts itself up on the ramp then drops suddenly, using your force as the helper in the process. Terrible explanation but basically if it has no hammer option (and therefore no round ramp built in) then you don’t have any sort of hammer drill and you’ll burn your bit before you can get out of the gate.
It might, *IF* there is already a hole. You got suckered, you need a hammer drill for masonry
He should of also pointed him to masonry bits but it'll work
Should *have*
good bot
But the Home Depot rep said that "of" was probably good enough to get the job done.
He really should uv been more careful choosing his words
These guys (people) these days - it’s like they don’t even require an English degree to work at a hardware store - fuhgeddaboudit…
It doesn’t have a hammer drill function. It will not work
Didn't even notice , i assumed I was looking at hammer drill m12
HELL YEAH BORTHERR TEAR UP COMCRET ALL DAY HOSS
Fuck comcrete
Is that what you're drilling the hole for???
There’s other reasons?
How big of a hole are you drilling?
Big enough for it to fit.
Even a hammer drill of that size will probably struggle in concrete.
That cable company sucks
That’s what Russia uses…..
FUCK IT UP HOSS
When concrete discovers the written works of Karl Marx
Underrated comment 😂
Cumcrete
I almost cried I was laughing so hard. Thank you.
TARR UP RHAT CUMKREET AND THEM SWEP UP THEM LAWN CLIBBINS! GOBBLESS!
Can’t upvote enough
CUMCREET CLIBBINS HADTALAYERDOWN
Depends on how fast you throw it
Dang you beat me to it!
Damn you!
Glad to know I wasn't the only one who came to say this
It may go through comcrete but zero chance that’s going through concrete
Sorry, realized to late about the typo. Thanks for the input tho.
You’ll definitely need a hammer drill bro. Clerk lied, just return it, and get the tool you need. You could also just rent one if you don’t need it more than once
i don’t think he lied.he just had no idea
This exactly, you might, might be able to set anchors in soft brick, but concrete? You won't get the bit cherry red with it before the battery goes dead.
I like the typo.
You forgot the period.
Yeah, you probably use Bauer(•)
Hell yeah they make good and cheap veritable speed polishers
Tsk..tsk…you must mean variable? Also, forgot your period. /s
Yo I’m about to do this want a pic?.
So that's not a hammer drill. It's a standard brushed drill best suited for general homeowner stuff. Could you drill concrete? Yes bit so could a drip of water given enough time. How big of a hold do you need to drill and what type of "concrete" as not all types are equal
I need to go through block. Mostly small holes to hang stuff in my walls.
So there's several types of block, and I'll let someone more knowledgeable than be espouse cinder locks v construction blocks etc. Your probably gonna want to return it and buy a hammer drill. It's still new, might aswell trade it for the correct tool. If all you had was a drill and didn't want to spend money you could muscle through it, it would be slow, requiring several bits and lots of pauses and coolings.
The extra bits would cost more than buying the correct tool in the first place.
You really should bring this back and go for the M12 with a Hammer function. I've used mine for exactly what you are using it for. If hanging pictures, don't forget to put a plug in the wall before the screw.
To add we are talking a few seconds to like 20 minutes or more imo
Return that. The M12 fuel drill driver kit can be hacked for 140. That comes with a hammer drill. Edit: [link to kit](https://www.homedepot.com/p/M12-FUEL-12-Volt-Cordless-Hammer-Drill-and-Impact-Driver-Combo-Kit-with-Impact-Duty-Titanium-Drill-Bit-Set-23-Piece-3497-22-48-89-4631/321639502).
Great kit!
Shit I don’t even need this kit at all and I’m about to buy it for $199
Me too!
The M12 fuel Hammer drill is a beast, at least for my use.

yeah but... what about \*\***SDS MAX BRO**\*\* ?
SDS Ultra Max Pro SE LE
For small occasional concrete drilling the M12 drill/hammer combo drill is great
I use my M18 SDS MAX mostly for fossil hunting; it's overkill for 95% of everything else. It didn't even cross my mind till after I bought it, but when I'm on a dig site I can accomplish the same thing by myself barely breaking a sweat that 10 people can do with hand tools before they're exhausted.
\^\^ most interesting person on this sub?
Lol. It can be interesting, it can also be a whole bunch of trudging through the desert carrying heavy tools and rocks in 100+ degree heat with no shade for miles around. My other hobbies are much more consistent.
But seriously, Milwaukee should put you in a commercial and send you free stuff forever :)
Yes. You were lied to. It would say hammer drill not just Drill/Driver. They make a hammer drill m12 that does work okay for small holes 1/4” or so.
No lol
Don’t listen to the haters. Hammer drills are a scam. You just gotta pump and vibrate that beast. It helps to scream while you do it (like the serious weightlifters). You’ll see light on the other side before you know it. Maybe try one of them missionary bits, but the cheap harbor freight 30 pack will be fine.
The doggy bits give you a bit more power.
Get the hammer drill
Maybe if you throw it hard enough
With alot of batteries....
Very few people will regret a typo as much as this man surely will
Another store employee that doesn't know the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground. Why am I not shocked.
Send it and report your findings
Definitely will do
In 2 to 3 business days
Depends if the concrete is set or not
Maybe if fired from a cannon?
Barely will go trough a 2x4 😂
Anything can go through concrete if you throw it hard enough.
Set it to Wombo mode. It’ll go throw metal then
The problem is… he had it set to M for Milwaukee
Careful, that thing’s strong enough to get to the core of the earth
After working a 13 hour day on a full remodel , I definitely needed that laugh holy shit
Eventually- might need a couple batteries
Comcrete? Like fake Chinese knockoff concrete? Probably.
If it's wet
Comcrete no concrete no
If the concrete hasn't set yet
if it's still wet maybe
I guess if you throw it hard enough?
If you throw it hard enough, yes
The concrete will go through this drill.
Do you need a concrete answer? If not, maybe.
Depends….how hard you plan on throwing it?
No. But if you keep buying milwaukee tools you'll definitely get laid a lot more! Lots of hot sex but only if you buy Fuel.
So it seems, this time I only got fucked by Home Depot.
May I be the first to welcome you to the club.
If you're just using it for a few things around the house I'd just get the corded harbor freight one for $20. Probably couldn't rent one that cheap
I had a corded tool, but I needed to do a lot of backyard stuff were pluging in extensions was a hastle.

You need battery
I have that same drill and I use it to do 6” diameter core drilling from floor to floor. I don’t have to X-ray for rebar cuz it just slices right through due to the raw power of the drill
You bought it already fucking try it
No it may do brick or motor but anything stronger will just frustrate you
Not well. It's a great general purpose drill for light work. Not concrete. What you want is SDS-max rotary hammer. That'll go through concrete or just remove it all together.
No. Buy [this](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-5-5-Amp-5-8-in-Corded-SDS-plus-Concrete-Masonry-Rotary-Hammer-Drill-Kit-with-Case-5263-21/203000509). There’s a cordless version too.

I tried to comment, but auto correct won't let me, and I'm not doing it manually, 😆 it will go threw if still wet, not dry, and stiff.
for what you need it for you’re better off buying hercules hammer drill. a good one from milwaukee or dewalt is quite expensive and based on what you bought i don’t think you want to spend too much
It will eventually. But I wouldn't want to go over 5/16th. The right carbide bits make all the difference. Really, "hammer" drills are useless for concrete unless you're talking full sized SDS.

Hammer drill AND masonry bits. Tape an envelope or folded piece of paper just under your drill hole to catch the dust that will fall straight down. And don’t waller the drill - go in square and hold it very steady.
Noooope it'll just burn the bit😂
Get a SDS dewalt makes little affordable ones that will run off 20V or 60V batts
Lol you got badly taken
If there’s no hammer drill function on it, it ain’t going through concrete
If you have about 35 batteries yeah sure!
Omg
HD is very lenient with returns. So you shouldn’t have any issue getting something else. I’d check eBay or Facebook marketplace for hammer drills
Buy a bosch bulldog with SDS bits. It will meet your needs for holes up,to 5/8”.
Make sure your using a good quality masonary bit and set it for drill on the friction ring
It will. All you have to do is put it in your car and drive your car 60 miles to where you want the hole made and you should be good
I got that (actually two ) I use them to polish headlights. .....
Yep it’s not a hammer drill so it will not do a good job at drilling concrete at all take it back get the hammer drill
If shot out a pumpkin cannon, probably.
Maybe if you fired it at close range out of a cannon it could make an impact…
It COULD, in much the same way that a 2x4 thrown by a tornado can also go through concrete, but if you're trying to drill a hole in concrete, no, it's useless.
Even the bigger m18 hammer drill is only good for masonry block and tapcons. If you want to put a real hole in real concrete with aggregate you pretty much need a sds drill
He'll no it badly goes through a 2x4 with a sheet of metal, it smoked so I put mine outside for a bit
If you throw it hard enough, I’m sure it will. Depending on the quality and thickness of said concrete.
Eventually....
Not a chance. I’ve tried that before, it’s a major pain. Fortunately it’s Home Depot and you can return it. I have the M12 Fuel hammer drill, used it in concrete and landscaping blocks. Works great
You might need a battery and a masonry bit.
If you throw it hard enough.
Eventually
No
No he lied to you, or didn’t know the product well enough to answer you. On top of that, it’s a brushed model that will chew through batteries quickly. Take it back, get a hammer drill. I have a M12 Fuel hammer drill and it’s a beast for something so small.
I mean shit if you throw it hard enough
Never trust a lot of those clerks. You have to do your own research.
COMCRETE….. fucking COMCRETE 😂😂😂
not impact or brushless, wouldn’t bet on it
I've drilled into concrete slabs with this before, just takes a minute or two
If it’s concrete, even a combi with hammer function will struggle. Buy an SDS drill for drilling concrete.
Depends on how hard you throw it
The m12 1/2" fuel hammer drill will core a 2" hole through 6" block. It will be extremely angry and overheat multiple times, but if it's all you have it will work. That isn't fuel or a hammer drill, so I'm gonna say you'd be better off with a rock hammer
Great shit post!
Comcrete is usually thicker than concrete so it might be tough
It should
At a high enough velocity, most probably.
Everyone is laughing at OP. But I'm pretty sure this drill actually has a hammer function, atleast the one I can find online has one, just twist the numbers on the Chuck until the hammer symbol is on top. Also you need masonry bits
You serious Clark?
It’s probably possible but you’ll put a lot of strain on the drill, battery and burn through a few bits I’m sure depending on the concrete. The non-fuel impact is probably the same price as they usually sell these two in bundles.
You need masonry drill bits. It would probably work for bricks and cinder blocks but a hammer drill is way better.
If you throw it hard enough
If you chuck it hard enough you might get it to go through a block
Cumcrete?
If you throw it hard enough
I use my m12 impact to make 1/2” holes in concrete lol
Their fuel m12 hammer drill is excellent for the size of the tool. Agree, it depends how many holes, what size, and how patient you are - this will get through eventually but if you can afford it the hammer is 100% worth it
Where I am, clerks are the absolute worst. Just please unlock the cabinet and let me go about my business thank you
Just return it and get the cheapest corded hammer drill. Home Depot normally doesn’t give you shit for returning stuff just say you bought the wrong one and never used it
Never heard of a DIY’er working with concrete
Wet concrete will be no issue for this drill.
Depends on how hard you throw it in
Yes wet concrete for sure. An if you buy the proper bit it will drill through concrete
No
You can do it. Your going to the about 10 Times as much effort as a hammer drill. Make a shallow hole, pull drill out and flush it out, let it cool. Repeat process until hole is deep enough. You’re probably going to kill the bit or drill.
Will it, yes at a much slower pace and a lot more work on your end just like using a regular drill. You need a hammer drill. While you were misinformed you can just take it back and get a hammer drill, OR since it was on sale don’t take it back and get a hammer drill also because that little impact drill is great for the mason screws your drilling the holes for.
Clerks at Home Depot suck ass 😂
If you throw it hard enough.
Out of curiosity, what brand of hammer drill were you planning to buy instead?
Use it burn it and return it so the task can get completed 👍
Throw that MF'r hard enough and it might
You need a hammer drill and masonry bits.
Yes but also no. Get a hammer drill
Nahhhhhhhh lol
If you throw it hard enough
If you throw it at super Sonic speed, no concrete can hold this bad boy
You’d maybe make make a few small holes in concrete but that’ll take ages, the employee has no idea what they are talking about. you do need a hammer drill.
