Does the trigger lock?

Sorry it took so long but no the trigger does not lock - but I do have to tell you - it is a great drill (actually I use it to drive screws more than anything - and I drive about 100 screws a week - I have had this for 2 months now - no problems with it and I like the keyless chuck

If you're still interested, the Craftsman model 28126 corded electric drill (3/8" VSR) has a trigger lock according to their web page listing. This is definitely a useful feature for jobs using sanding or polishing attachments where you might need 5 to 10 minutes of continuous power-on time. (I'm specifically thinking of the 3M headlight restoration kit as an example.)

No. I just talked to a tech a DeWalt and he said from what he could see none of the newer models have the trigger lock. Blame the lawyers is our guess. Since I'm shopping for one I can use for buffing and sanding it looks like I'll be shopping for a refurbed or slightly used older model. Or another brand.

Not at all. It is just a pull trigger. There is a little button the handle you must press at the same time as pulling the trigger but it is simple. The unit is light in weight also.

No trigger lock feature, that would defeat the safety intent of the thing only running when you hold the trigger. Not like the old days when they had on-off switches.

I dont think the trigger has a "lock On" feature. thats for saftey reasons. you have this long cord your dragging around... if now you had the cutters just running.. while you were not holding the trigger.. bingo... cut cord, cut something, cut stuff. I think they are getting away from they feature. sorry.

Yes, using the trigger. If you haven't bought one of these yet, do it. This is light weight and has a lot of torque + battery lasts a long time. So far I think its the best thing B&D has ever built.

It does not lock. The firearm "snaps" into place. Works perfect for me. Pulls out very nicely.

It has a trigger button. I suppose you can squeeze it not as hard to make it come out slower....

No, the trigger is like a spray trigger you find on any other spray cleaner. It just controls the spray out from the bottom.

No, it does not lock so to operate, slide the switch on top and squeeze the handle. Once the handle is released, it shuts off. It feels comfortable to me.

Are you asking if the trigger lock works to keep the motor running at slower speed as well as at full speed?

Yes it does. 2 speed / power ranges with a lever on the top. Variable within the ranges with the trigger.

yes, it is variable speed...speeds varies with how hard the trigger is pressed

NO - and YES, it is SUPPOSED TO BUT DOES NOT. It does lock, as indicated by someone's answer - but that "lock" does not hold. It continues to roll.

No. The reacher does not have a locking device. When you squeeze the trigger the grabber closes to hold or pick up object, but you have to continue squeezing the trigger to hold the object. I hope this helps.

I have this drill. It does not, does NOT have a lock for the trigger. And I will say this, this drill has enough power to snap your wrist, you do NOT want a trigger lock button for something that has this much power. I had another powerful drill with a lock button and SEVERELY injured my wrist with it because even though I let go of the trigger... it was locked and would not stop until my friend unplugged it for me. The drill literally untwisted the 3/4 drill bit and I couldn't use that hand effectively for 3 months. SO.... you do not want a lock button for the trigger on a powerful drill such a this one.

Yes,when you pull the trigger the legs slide to the ground, when you release the trigger it locks to any angle of terrain it stop at

No! You push the 'lock' switch so you can activate the trigger. I have had at least 5 similar trimmers, and they all operate under the same principal. Once the trigger switch is in operation, that's the one you use. By the way the Gardena is the best by far of those that I have owned.
