Does this tool have a spindle lock?

NO, it does not. It has no need for one. it uses a 1/4" snap lock bit holder. It does have a trigger lock.I own two of these great little tools.

To clarify the other answers, if you carefully set it to the middle position, neither forward nor reverse, it locks the spindle. Thus you could use it as a hand screwdriver.

yes! 1-15 on clutch settings. After 15 is a lock-up insignia on clutch dial.

on the high torque setting it does because I have finished tightening screws with it many times when the battery went down to low before I changed batteries I just finished tightening the screws with the tool. This tool I use more than any other power tool I own. This tool I have used now for several years, the best thing dewalt makes in my book, highly recommended from me I guarantee.

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.

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

By pulling straight out on the bit holder it will release the locking pin. At which point you can install or change your drill bits or drive tools which ever you are using.

It has a keyless chuck which works just like any other keyless chuck I have used in the past. The shaft is always locked when not in use which makes it easy to tighten and release the chuck, but I don't think that it what you are asking.

No. This tool is designed to push the halfshaft out of the hub. That will leave the front bearing still pressed in the spindle. You want a hubtamer or hubshark.

Three pronged twist lock used to be milwaukee signature, i doubt skil would use these, this tool is widely used by framers, the connector is not reliable, you dont see them in new milwakee (saw all, drill.. or anything with a hard case)

It does not. However, I've not found that to be an issue. The tool drives various length pins consistently. With my old tool, I adjusted air pressure as necessary.

Certainly! The nose of the tool rotates to control how much torque (twisting force) is applied to the drill bit, driver, etc., before the clutch releases, while the trigger controls how fast the chuck and bit rotate. This is one heck of a tool - but be aware, if used with a special auger for digging planting holes, if the auger hangs up suddenly on a root or rock, the drill will counter-rotate very forcefully and leave you with a very sore wrist or worse! Not an issue for standard drilling, polishing, etc.

I doubt it, because Milwaukee has its own (proprietary) locking system. I cannot say for sure, though, since I do not own any Dewalt tools.

William, yes this lathe has an indexing head. I have not yet used the feature but it is done with a spring loaded pin which you lock into anyone of 24 positions. The spring loaded pin in screwed in once the pin is set to hold it in place.Rich F

Yes, it does. It is very slim and light, holds the tool securely in place. No performance problems either, over the first 1000 or so nails driven. An intelligent tool throughout.

No. it locks in place. You have to squeeze the handle, depress the lock button, then let the handle go and the blade will retrack. Not having the blade lock would be a hindrance to usage. For you would have to remember to keep the handle squeezed.

No. It does not lock.I wok in teh jungle with expeditions. This is FAR the best knife ever! The multipurpose tools are amazing. If you are looking for fixing or building things improvising this is the best tool! It is good to you depending on what are you going to do with it.

Mine came with rotation handles. Yours came with only the spindles and nothing to turn the worm gears???

yes it does. But i would never buy this tool without the 3 speed. it, with the variable speed trigger is awesome. Love it to pieces.
