Does this drill have hammer only function for chiseling? If so, how would you rate it?

This drill does both hammer and drills. For the money this Hammer Drill works good. It is not the quality of a Dewalt But it is 1/4 the coat. for someone who may only use it a time or two a year it is a good buy.

Yes! It functions well in both capacities. After reading other comments, when I got mine I made sure all the screws holding it together were tight. It's worked great since I got it.

Ok for smaller jobs, has a parts list, but has no number at all to call for them, no company name either. Except for not knowing where to order replacement parts for it, it is still worth the money.

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.

yes, when the drill is in use-not just operating without a load , you should feel the hammer function.

Doesn't come with the box if you are lurching it in bare tool form --no bats either --the driver does have hammer drill function. And works very well it's aLittle different than the older drivers --better I. Believe

This drill is an Drill/Hammer Drill combo. It is not an Impact Driver. The operating principles are different. You can use this to remove lug nuts etc... but don't expect it to work well.

Yes it does have the torque. Strong enough to break the screw in the hole or strip the head. If the wood is hard it is always best to drill a hole first. No need to for plywood or paneling or most two by fours. I love this drill so much that I bought two of them, one for me and one for my wife.

Yes, it does have a keyless chuck. Freakin' awesome drill, runs forever on a charge and solid, just as you'd expect from Dewalt.

Yes it does have a hammer only mode along with the other settings previously mentioned.

It's not as powerful, of course, but it has low end speed and a very precise trigger control. Given the choice, I picked the 12 volt hammer drill for my uses and am really satisfied. I bought the 20 volt hammer drill for my son in a package from Amazon that included a reciprocal saw and he loves it. I like the Lithium batteries much better than the Nickel Metal Hydride because the Nickel batteries discharge when not in use and have a memory. Not so with the Lithium, and they are STRONG! The chuck on the DeWalt is 1/2", I believe, and the Bosch 12 volt is 3/8". Sometimes size matters. It's not as powerful, of course, but it has low end speed and a very precise trigger control.

for a straight driving chuck, it will function well, if the instructions are followed. If it is a hammer drill, you will need another type of chuck. Amazon should be able to get the right chuck for you. I hope this helps you.

Drill doctor says it can sharpen carbide bits. I have not tried it on hammer drill bits.

No, this is sold normally as the tool only. I disagree with one answer that this is not a professional tool. It is as good as it gets. I've drilled through 1/4 inch steel plate many times and used it to bore 5/8" anchor holes in brick, concrete and masonry. It works as well as a $400.00 SDS drill. It's brushless and will run at least twice as long on one battery charge. Whether you are professional or handy around the house this will be your go to drill for all purposes. It's lightweight and uses the same battery that all the other Makita cordless tools use. I see these lined up on all sorts of construction and remodeling sights. I own eight of the Makita 18volt tools and carry them in my truck all the time.

I'm sure it has the power, but the ability of the craftsman is the factor. The use of a pointed chisel would be the only way. a flat blade would turn and dig in where you wouldn't want it to. I use a flat blade to chisel up a floor and it would always dig into the flooring. The bit turns. Good Luck. Oil it often or you will be using a hand chisel. bassman

Absolutely, at least I have used them. I believe this hammer drill with a psck of upgraded bits, is the best tool purchase I have made in years!

In my short experienced with this hammer (DEWALT D25324K), I´ll say it is for light chipping and concrete drilling on a daily basis.I do not use it more than 3 days a week and so far very good.With a 1 inch design, I will not use it to often for chipping - though it does a good job.I really like its versatility and comfort. Really good for concrete, wood and metal.As an electrician I like what this tool offers.Hope this help.Miguel

Yes. I've never seen one that you couldn't switch off the hammer function. No matter, this one is both a drill and hammer drill.
