Does this drill have a trigger lock that will keep it in the "on" position?

NO trigger lock. Has a long trigger so that most people can trigger with TWO fingers. It is also a relatively soft squeeze trigger which also helps minimize trigger fatigue.

Yes it does, button on the front of the grip locks the trigger start in the on position.

No, it does not. The only locking feature is to keep it from starting without your hand on the trigger.

As slowly as you are able to finesse the trigger. The action on mine is smooth and even, not touchy, too hard or easy. I simple squeeze the trigger as I would when shooting and the drill will start to barely turn. It can be kept at that speed or squeeze a bit more and speed it up, whichever is needed. My drill will start, turn and continue to turn at speeds much lower than 200 RPM. I use this to make sure I have the bit on the mark; it is very handy.

Yes. I am trying to locate someway of having it replaced by Dewalt. Pain in the arse! It happens when you let go of the trigger suddenly and the brake kicks in and opens the chuck. Bad design.

Yes. I bought a spare battery but the battery lasts a long time and it stays charged when the drill is not in use! It is small, which I like. To control the speed you need to use the trigger, not a two speed or a trigger stop.

Put the drill in reverse, hold the drill collar tightly then pull trigger. Should loosen up.

Yes it does. You simply pull the trigger handle and it releases the legs. When the legs touch the ground simply release the trigger and it's locked in.

No, unfortunately it does not have a trigger on lock....It does have a lock to prevent accidental turn on of the spray....However, easily over came the fatigue situation....I took a piece of heavy duty velcro about three-quarters of an inch wide and wrapped it around the handle at the narrow point of the trigger and just pull the trigger and slide the velcro strip up into the wide portion and it holds it turned on....hence no tired fingers or hands. An easy fix and I am really quite pleased with the overall performance for my needs i.e. washing driveway, garage floor and patio....

It does lock out at full extension. It doesn't really lock in, but it isn't loose in a way where that would matter.

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.

Yes-The chuck locks up when not powered, you can turn the whole body like a manual screw driver.

It has a "lock out" feature, meaning the trigger cannot be accidentally depressed without first "unlocking" the safety. There is NO provision to keep the trigger depressed while using the trimmer.

Yes, it does also have a reverse switch. No worries this will do anything any other drill will do plus have interchangeable parts....

I have both a Black & Decker & a Dewalt drill. They both manually close on the bit with a hand twist, no chuck key needed. I'm not sure why a Dewalt bit would be any different than any other bit.

Yes, It locks in the up and down position. There are two safety clips on the release bar that must be moved before you can press the release bar
