the difference between the hammer drill & the impact drill ?

An "impact drill" as you call it (actually more properly called an impact driver) is intended to provide huge amounts of torque necessary to insert bolts and screws. It's not meant for drilling, although it will function just fine as a drill--it's simply UNSAFE to use as one. The torque it provides is enough that if your drill bit gets stuck in something, instead of slipping in the chuck, the impact driver will simply shatter the bit. Then you have shrapnel. No bueno.

hammer drill is just like a normal drill but can be use to drill through masonry products with special drill bits in hammer mode. impact drill is just like an impact gun but you can use it for multiple screw bits for around the house or shop. hope this answers your questions if not let me know. will try to explain it better.

Hammer drill is to more to drill holes on concrete and impact is more for metal framing screws

actually the hammer drill is the one that applies vibrations vertically, like when you driving a nail. Impact is applying the vibrations along the plane in which the bit is rotating , therefore increasing the rotational force applied to the screw

The drill has multiple speeds and is made for use with various drill bits of different sizes with its adjustable chuck. The impact driver is for driving things, e.g., screws and bolts; it does have a variable speed trigger but not meant for drilling purposes.

Hammer drill is used for drilling into concrete and other hard surfaces. Impact drill is for driving screw and various bolts.

The DCK286D2 is a Hammer Drill/Impact Driver combo and the DCK281D2 is a Drill Driver/Impact Driver combo. My Amazon pricing shows the DCK286 to be cheaper ($265.95 vs. $278.99).

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

I have used it in a cordless impact drill that vibrates a lot, it will loosen up the drill or screw head, but I'm not sure if had it hand tight or used the tightening wrench.. its been a while. I dont own a hammer drill, but I dont see why it wouldn't work.. except for vibration that may loosen up the drill bit.

The kit I received contained the LXPH03 hammer drill and the LXDT04 impact driver. Hope this helps

This is not the brushless version. However, it is the hammer drill version.

The difference is in the direction of the impact force. The hammer drill exerts the force along the bit as it hits the material being drilled, while the impact driver exerts the force perpendicular to the bit (same direction of the rotation).

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

It's only for the drill , not impact gun. I thought it would fit both when I ordered it but no dice.

Both kits include the DCF886 1/4" impact, but the DCK281D2 includes the DCD790 1/2" drill/driver, and the DCK286D2 includes the DCD795 1/2 hammer drill. The latter is especially good for masonry drilling. Both sets are of the "compact" variety, but the DCD790 is a bit shorter which you could find useful in tight spots. DeWalt also sell heavier duty models which are heavier (heh, heh) and have bigger batteries for longer lasting charges. For the typical weekend warier the compact models are probably perfectly adequate. Beware DeWalt also still sells models which are NOT brushless. They're cheaper, but I'd definitely go for the brushless models.

No, an impact driver is like the drill/driver, but with more torque for driving nut/bolts larger than screws and such.

I've had mine for about 3 years and not noticed any problems like that. The hammer drill function is worth having. I haven't used the impact driver much but it has been a handy addition.

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.

Thanks for asking this question. After reading it I replaced the BHP454 in my cart for the combo. Hopefully the hammer drill is in fact the same model and not a slight variation with lesser quality components. I will find out in a few days.

I believe the "hammer" is to help break up and force the bit through tough materials like concrete etc. while the bit is rotating. Its still a drill with a hammer action to assist.

Don't have this drill, but standard function is user select drill only, hammer only or drill and hammer. Hammer only is for chipping, hammer and drill is for drilling into tile or concrete with carbide drill bit. In time you will found it useful. Oh hammer is not used for screws or bolts - it's a downward force, not rotational. For that use an impact wrench.
