Can i use this as a 1/2 inch impact driver? Not quite understanding the hammerdrill part.
884863
no it can not be used as an impact driver, the hammer drill has a different motion than an impact driver.
884864
Yes you can use it as an impact driver. The hammer drill function is used for concrete for example the ring beam of a brick house it becomes more difficult to drill through concrete so the hammer function is for that purpose

NO , The hammer drill function is medium to light duty and is best used for small holes in concrete. Example . If you wanted to affix something to a hard surface and predrill a hole in order to install a plastic anchor , than this would be ideal . Make no mistake this is a very powerful drill and can handle 90% of whatever your going to throw at it , but this will not work as a impact driver . Many vendors are selling both the impact driver and the heavy duty drill in kits . This is the way to go if looking for something like the product your looking for .

you can use as impact on smaller fasteners/screws. the hammer drill part is for use in masonry applications w/ masonry drill bits. depends on what your application is going to be. If you do not plan on using the hammer drill option, I would consider the regular drill or drill driver. I bought mine to use as a hammer drill only. Hope this helps, good luck

No this hammer option is for brick or masonry use buy the dewalt impact drill instead

You should be able to use it without any problem. Proper lubrication to the hammer is very important.

YES. There's a ring near the chuck which not only sets the torque, but also clicks the drill into "hammertime"! Love my set. Haven't yet used the impact driver, but my son has one and it is great for driving lag bolts in deck construction. The hammer drill is the only one you'll need for drilling holes, driving screws etc. It worked like a charm when I drilled holes in a brick wall to mount some decorative stuff. I highly recommend this set.

The 3rill is a Drill/Driver/Impact driver, not a hammer drill. It has a 1/4" Hex Shank chuck and I am unaware of any masonry bits that will work with this type of chuck. To answer your question, could you.....probably, should you.....no. I would recommend getting a hammer drill for this purpose. Check out the Rockwell Shop Series hammer drill, it is fairly inexpensive and will do exactly what you need. Rockwell ShopSeries RC3136 7 Amp 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill

I would say it would be ok. The difference between an impact driver and impact wrench are slight, but basically the wrench as no "forward" impact. I mainly use it for light jobs and this is overpowered.

No, it is not an impact driver. It is just a drill/driver. It has 310 in-pounds (inch) of torque, insufficient for what you need. An impact driver has roughly 1400 in-pounds of torque, better but not quite. An impact wrench might be more of what you need. An Impact wrench can be 300 ft-lbs (4200 in-pounds). You may have to talk to someone at AutoZone or something similar.Hope this is helpful,Harry the Scrapper

I use this set with the DEWALT DCF815S2 12-Volt Max 1/4-Inch Impact Driver Kit. This driver kit is really for small impact tools/drivers that accept 1/4" male hex type attachments. I've put the bits to the test and they've held up well. Not sure if I would recommend the set for a beefy impact wrench though. The DW059 I saw on Amazon looks like a 1/2" drive regular impact wrench and this set works on drivers with the internal hex design.

As long as your hammer has an adjustable chuck I don't see why they wouldn't. I have a couple of impact drivers that have spring-loaded chucks and these wouldn't fit in those, but they should fit in all other drills, drill-drivers, and hammer-drill-drivers.

Should work. HOWEVER...1 the bit holder is not very good- the bits just dropout. It also has an aluminum sleeve-which won't hold up very well in the rougher hammer drill operation. Dewalt bits that I've had seem to be pretty good. They should take hammer driving as good as any (unless hardened steel is recommended against for hammer drilling. I've had them shatter, softer might be better-these are hardened.) Personally I wouldn't use this bit holder to drive blue concrete screws. Good luck.

If you have never owned an impact driver, you should try it. I no longer use my standard drill for anything unless I am not close to my impact. I have drilled with it, but you will need drills with a hex shank... or you will need a drill bit adapter/chuck.

This is a hammer drill, it can be used to drill concrete with a masonry bit. It isn't an impact driver which is normally used for driving screws into wood, drywall ect. It will however work but not as efficiently. Both tools are designed specifically for different tasks.

No but since it is an SDS (most likely SDS+) drill there is no reason it will not work. I use mine in my Hilti TE15 for all non-hammerdrill applications. A high torque, low speed drill is very useful for a lot of things. Most accessory chucks like this are not designed to be used in hammerdrill mode and certainly not in chipping mode. This one is built pretty stout so it might do limitted duty in hammerdrill mode but the SDS+ connection is far better for that than smooth shank.

I have seen both the 1/2 inch impacts 20volt on Amazon, not sure wich one your looking for.If you go on the dewalt website they list alot of bare tools there.I found the part number on the one I wanted and then searched Amazon again and found it quickly.I love the new tools,battery life is amazing and the short bodied driver fits almost anywhere.

This is for a grease gun. Unclear why or how it would be used with a impact wrench.

no impact driver. I have been known to use mine with a drill, as well as my "dremel" rotary tool. I think an impact driver would destroy it, if you could even find a way to attach it.
