Does the drive lock so you can break free tough screws by turning the driver?

Absolutely yes. I am on my third driver. 1st left out in rain, duh...2nd wore it out...3rd still going strong. out of several brands, this IS the BEST of the BEST for screw guns. I am an HVACR tech, 40 years strong, since '74, and i have tried most all brands and sizes.

I don't believe it does. It has incredibly good speed control, i.e. you can get low speed reliably with out jumping to high speed. But I don't remember being able to lock it in position.

No it doesn't lock the motor out put shaft. so you can use the driver as a screw driver type thing.

I used an impact driver to remove the screws. The company put thread locker on the screws when installed making them difficult if not impossible to remove by hand.

no. it uses standard driver bits. It would probably break drill bits that are mounted in driver bits. It works really good for driving screws and nuts, which is what it is intended to do.

All the fold out tools do lock into place. Very useful tool. The Philips screwdriver is a little odd shaped. But still works good.

I've used the older version for years to assemble computers. Never stripped a single screw. Even on the lowest torque setting it will crack a plastic wall switch plate unless you are very careful.

Yes it's reversible.Not my first choice to drive screws. In my opinion, a good cordless drill with a clutch setting is better for that

No. All of the tools firmly snap out and into their working position(s), but none of them lock.

There are little collars that connect the drive shaft pieces together. If any of those have fallen off the drive shaft wont turn. Depending on the size of your drive shaft there mayb two or three collars.

Yes, but it involves a bit of work. I realized the same issue as well when it came time to eject.What worked for me was removing the swing arm with a Torx (star-shaped) screwdriver. From there you can see an opening on the case near the pins. Press gently on the drive and the drive will pop out nice and easy from there. Now when I copy drives, I make sure to leave the arm off. Good luck, hope this helps!

Yes sir, this drill is reversible. As far as driving screws, the drill will do fine, but it doesn't have a clutch that can be set. Just be careful.

It is used as a grip for the head. It locks in multiple positions (from parallel to drive shaft to 90*) and can rotate from one side of the driver to the other. Turning that handle locks it in whatever position you find comfortable for the task at hand. It is not removable but if you lock it parallel to the drive shaft its like its not there. Its a great feature.

Yes...There is a small round knob on the outside that can be turned with a flat head screwdriver. works great.

I don't know about breaking it, but if you push the hand break down a little harder than normal on each side, it will lock the wheels. The wheels can be locked when needed.

No. The drive locks itself automatically when it loses USB power even for a moment. The USB power is always cycled briefly during the boot process and so it appears that the drive always re-locks itself when you try to boot off of it.

Yes, it locks and you pull down the knob to unlock and it also turns after you pull it out (Pivots). Very nice mount, extends a long way

I used a screwdriver. It did seem like it was going to break, but nothing broke. I do agree they should be easier to take off.

My unit does not have a lock on switch - Amazon must have information that is old or simply in error. But I honestly can not imagine you would want one, since this is a variable speed grinding tool. I was grinding off hardened 1/2" threaded bolts - it did that job easily at full speed.
