it looks like the 2 speed function is only for reg. drill not for hammer function, is that right?

My DWD520 is variable speed in hammer and regular drilling modes. I hope this helps, as I think it may be a error in the listing. Mine works just great as well. Keith

correct-a 3-position collar selects low-speed rotary drilling, high-speed rotary drilling, or hammer drilling.

There is two speeds on regular and one hammer setting. Hope this helps. Great drill also

That is correct. Only one speed for hammer. It is a fantastic drill and with the Dewalt concrete bits, it will bore a hole in concrete blocks quickly to attach pipe clamps. Have also used it to drill holes into concrete steps to mount hand rails.

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.

0 - 2700 rpm no load http://www.dewalt.com/tools/hammerdrills--hammers-hammerdrills-dw511.aspx

Simplest answer is your drill probably runs at too low RPM, try a faster drill befroe changing bits.

Hi, there is a speed setting on the drill to help control the speed, so you can slow it down. I would also highly recommend using the star screws instead of phillips screws. If you use the bronze star head screws, they will break in half before they will strip, but you'll still want to be easy on them with this drill, as it is very powerful. In other words, don't pull the trigger full force on the fastest settings.

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.

No, definitely not.The DeWalt DWD525K hammer drill is a rotary drill with an axial hammer action, so the impact is along the line of the drill bit, at approx 2 beats per rotation.These sockets are intended for an impact wrench, which has impacts in the rotational direction, but will often be stationary.You can drive screws with a drill because screws normally only use very low level of torque, but nuts (that need impact function) have much higher level of torque.

It is variable speed with 2 gears. It is a really nice and strong drill for home projects.

Yes there is two speeds but the trigger itself is variable meaning the more you press the faster it will go.
2171257
Yes. It has a variable speed control. However, you will get better value for your money with the Hitachi DH 22PG rotary hammer.

Yes, but that food pedal is junk! It only makes the drill go on and off doesn't control speed. You can order a pedal online or maybe Sally's that will let you control speed with the pedal

Yes. As others have stated, the speed is controlled by the "trigger", the torque by the ring by the chuck. If you are drilling with a large Forstner or spade bit, be mindful of the power of the drill to hurt you should the drill snag in the hole.

This is NOT a hammer drill. It is just a standard drill/driver. The driver part is just a function that lets you drive screws and such. It has a collar that rotates from a drill function to a screw driver with a variable clutch to control the torque applied to various screw sizes.

This tool does have a "trigger lock" which you can engage only at full speed. In my experience, this is more problematic than helpful as it is a: seldom necessary to operate the tool at full speed for an extended period of time and B: not particularly easily engaged and C: more commonly inadvertently engaged than intended. Coupled with the fact that the tool is capable of powering on by simply placing it down on a hard surface, due to its weight operating the trigger, I would suggest a different brand of this type of tool. I have advised DeWalt of these concerns and have been advised that DeWalt "takes safety very seriously " although I have not seen evidence of that with this particular tool.

there is a selector switch on the top rear of the drill that gives you the 3 speeds. there is another selector switch above the trigger that gives you either drill or torque with a selector switch range from 1- 22

It's all in the trigger pull. Yes it is a variable speed drill. It is also the best hand drill I have ever owned. My first one last around twenty five plus years, using it at work almost daily.

I have a 3 dremel tools each with their own min/max rpm and I always set it for maximum speed - rpm doesn't matter - what does matter is keeping the glass and drill tip under water and let the tip do the work. If the fused glass is not compatible, you will soon realize through shatter marks. I hope this helps.
