does this have actual impact motion or more like a drill?

Like a drill, but very strong for its size and the point of stall is adjustible.

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.

YES ... It will turn your impact driver into a drill. I have two, my other one has a chuck key ( not that it makes a difference) because sometimes I counter sink a screw hole or for wood screws I drill a larger hole for the top. If you drill a lot it works fast.

yes. you need impact type drills which fit into a hexagonal chuck. They are very common.

No its not a drill. Its a screwdriver. Its seem to be a good one. Im happy with it for what it does.

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.

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

It definitely does not have a gradual start, as some have indicated in the reviews. The lightest first contact in the trigger yields around 300 RPM's unloaded on my drill (I checked with my touch-tach). With the level of power this drill offers, even at this lowest trigger position the drill won't stall without a large amount of load. If you need delicate low-speed operation such as fastener driving, look for a smaller drill (perhaps a 3/8" VSR?). If you need a drill that will work continuously poking 3/8" to 13/16" holes in up to 3/8" thick steel as I did, this is your drill.

Yes, it is. This free little movement is necessary for the impact mechanism.

it has alot of torque, i use it for drilling holes mostly. I recommend a ratcheting screw gun for screws.

This is an impact driver, not an impact hammer. It provides twisting power, but does not "hammer" in the forward direction. It will thus not work as well as the tools designed to power their way into concrete.

It should be ok being an impact driver. Should work somewhat like a hammer drill.

If you mean like a nail gun or like a rotary hammer. no it is a drill. If you are chipping tile or something like that you need a rotary hammer

The impact only works when there is resistance to rotation. If it doesn't impact with resistance , that's a defect

Ron,On my set, the Impact Driver does not have a clutch, but is reversible. The drill does have a clutch and is reversable

Yes. The impact has. The hammer drill light is on the front bottom where the base is. It's not as good as the impact but it works.

No, this is for removing and tightening fasteners, ie; bolts, nuts, no hammer action up and down, I believe you are looking for a impact hammer type tool?
