I thought this would be an interesting question to talk about today. I got this question while surfing the net and it looked like a question that needed a little explanation.
This is a very common activity, especially for those who have basement and want to hang pictures or even hang and entire wall. In any case there was to be a way to drill holes to secure objects to the wall. So, can a 14.4 volt cordless drill put pilot holes into a concrete center block? The answer may surprise you or maybe not. Yes or no, in some cases it can be done. But you many need to get a little help.
12 Volt Drill
One way to do this is to purchase a masonry drill kit. Masonry drill bits are cast to endure more vigorous drilling activities. They also have a different cutting tip that helps endure the heat that comes from grinding against concrete. Do not get the cheap set though. I tried one of these sets and the bit still cracked on me. I wanted to take it back but it was a gift and I could not find the receipt. That is a different story. Invest in your tools and they will take care of you when you need them.
You will know very soon if you can drill through a cinderblock with you cordless drill. If you see that the drilling is not going anywhere than you know you need to get another drill. If you do see results with your 14.4 volt cordless drill than expect that it will take a lot more time than usual. Also expect that you may have to recharge your battery a number of times to finish the job. So, it may be a good idea to have a second rechargeable battery on hand just in case you need it. The next choice would be to purchase a cordless hammer drill.
Now, cordless hammer drills are a little different. They spin a special bit in a circular motion but they also hammer down on the bit to push it through a cement center block. A hammer cordless drill should make short work of a cinderblock wall.
Yes, it is possible to drill into a cinderblock with a 14.4 volt cordless drill but you need the right tools and a lot of extra time.
