I'm looking for a good cordless drill to use on concrete. Any recommendations?
Drill for Concrete?
Started by BasedPichu on June 30, 2024
I've used the Craftsman CMCD701C2 and it works pretty well for drilling into concrete. There's an article about it Overview of the Craftsman CMCD701C2 Drill. It has a 20-volt brushless motor which is powerful enough for most tasks, but keep in mind that you might need to take extra care when using it on hard materials like concrete.
That sounds promising. How does the battery life hold up? I don't want to be stuck without power in the middle of a project.
The battery life is decent, but you'll probably want to have an extra one handy if you're doing a lot of work at once. It's not the longest-lasting drill on the market, but it's more than adequate for most DIY projects.
Yeah, that's true. And if you are planning to use it for concrete drilling regularly, you might want to consider getting a hammer drill or rotary hammer. They're designed specifically for hard materials and can make the job easier.
That makes sense. Thanks for the advice! I'll check out the Overview of the Craftsman CMCD701C2 Drill article for more details before making a decision.
If you're still unsure, you might want to visit your local hardware store and test some drills in person. It can give you a better idea of what will work best for you and your specific needs.
Good luck with your project! Remember to take breaks and stay safe out there!
