can i use my makita xfd131 to drill into concrete or brick?

— asked by Sam

No. This drill is not designed for masonry.

  • Its rated capacities are 13mm (1/2") in steel and 38mm (1-1/2") in wood.
  • It does not list concrete, brick, or masonry in its drilling capacities.
  • Attempting to drill into these materials will damage the drill bit, decrease tool performance, and shorten the tool's service life.

Use it only for its stated purposes: drilling in wood, metal, and driving screws into wood or machine screws up to M6 (1/4"). For concrete or brick, you need a hammer drill or rotary hammer.

Heads up: Using a tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation, including tool failure or injury.
