can i drill through wood with this and masonary bit for deckposts

What size drill bits will it take
The DCH172B uses SDS Plus bits and has a 5/8 in. SDS Plus chuck . The manual gives an optimum masonry drilling range of 5/32 in. to 3/8 in.
I'm trying to install post brackets on existing concrete patio but I keep hitting rebar. My standard household impact will not do the job. Will this hammer be strong enough to drill through rebar (with the appropriate rebar cutting bit of course)?
We do not recommend using the DCH172B for rebar drilling.
What are the “drill bit requirements”
Hey William, great question. This model DCH172B bits requirements are: Type SDS Plus size Bits, Masonry Drilling 5/32"–3/8" (optimum drilling range)
Can it drill into granite
Yes, the DCH172B can drill into granite.
Can it up root tiles?
The DCH172B can remove light tiles, but it is not ideal because it only features rotation with hammer and rotation modes, lacking a hammer only mode.
Can I use this tool to chisel off old tile
Yes, the DEWALT DCH172B can be used for chiseling off old tile when equipped with the appropriate chisel bit.
