Can the hammer function be turned off on this drill so you can use it as a traditional drill?

Yes.. There is a slide switch on the top of the drill to select drill or hammer drill and icon indicating what mode of function you are in...
269405
Yes it can be set hammer or regular (this feature is standard in hammer drills)
269406
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.

It's not a hammer drill. It is a variable speed with high and low range settings. It also has a clutch setting for release pressure.Definitely a small drill, but for it's size it's very handy, and battery charges quickly.

Yes. It has a variable speed control. However, you will get better value for your money with the Hitachi DH 22PG rotary hammer.

If you have it in Drill mode, (selection on the outer ring), it does not hammer.

Yes, not as gods as a hammer drill,but it will work. Worked good for about 9 months and then the switch wore out.

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

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 never tried that with this drill, but from past experience, you need a hammer drill, or a box full of masonry bits because they will keep breaking.

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.

You do not have to change out the hammer, it won't hurt it, but it can only help it; because its more resistant to corrosion, rust, and it's self lubricating. Its not that big of a deal, but the more nickel boron coating rubbing on nickel boron is better.

NO it's not a hammer drill, But it will drill in metal and wood....LOVE IT. He has his, I have MINE!! ;}

Yes. There are 2 rotary controls. One for the clutch, and one for turning on (and off) the hammer feature.They are directly behind the chuck.

Both settings sound identical until you press the drill into the cement material on the hammer setting. It is only at this moment that the sound of the hammer setting takes on a different sound from the regular drill setting. Be sure to use masonry bits when using the hammer setting.

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 .

Adjusting the chuck to different angles for hammer only fucntion; Set to rotating hammer or drill mode, then manually adjust to desired angle. Then return to hammer only mode.

Yes...handle is removable and there is a large hex if you wanted to use a wrench instead. However, I doubt it would be necessary...using a hammer is easy and works quite well. Actually every piece of this disassembles so it can fit in a drawer in a standard toolbox.

Mitch - I don't think the design of this would be all that great for using with/as a hammer drill. While it may work just fine, I would think it would start to fall apart at some point from the constant hammering. Just my opinion -
