When drilling with a metal drill bit, can you dis-engage the hammer feature?

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.

Certainly...there is a control ring right behind the chuck...turning that turns the hammer mode off and on!!

The forward dial switch is for the clutch setting, the back one switches from standard drill to hammer setting. So, yes you can turn it on or off. Best drill I've ever owned.

I finish large plastic parts for a living and use a Milwaukee M18 impact driver with quick change drill bits all the time. Wouldn't recommend using them on metal but wood and plastic not a problem, much faster than an normal drill. Quick change spade bits work really well with the impact driver.

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.

Yes, above your trigger finger. However, unless you are using an extension bit, you will find that the light does not go where the screwdriver bit makes contact with screws. The drill body blocks the light from getting to this spot. The photo of the drill on this site, where the light is falling in a circular pattern around the bit, is faked. Yep, they are faking it, since no light reaches much of this area. I have one of these, and it works well, but the light is a laugh. Didn't someone at the design facility actually try one of these before going into production?

No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

Hello Bradley,Yes. This drill doesn't require a specific type of bit. Hope that helps!

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 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 can switch between hammer, regular drill, and guide hole drill (or whatever it's called)

It's a "Hammer Drill" it's supposed to hammer while drilling. Its just the way it is.

Not on this particular model. I would suggest, however, if you need a drill with a side handle fordaily use, a Millwaukee hammer drill would be a wiser choice-and cheaper in the long run!

You can tap with the backside of the mallet (metal side) but I recommend purchasing the Wood Flooring Installation Kit. makes life much easier. Something like this AM TECH LAMINATE WOOD FLOORING INSTALLATION KIT FLOOR FITTING SET TOOL

first, these are not drill bits,this a fingernail care device. push the button on the narrow end of device,and insert tool that you want to use...be careful,it is a pretty strong device...make sure speed is on slow.

yes, when the drill is in use-not just operating without a load , you should feel the hammer function.

Yes you can use it as an impact driver. The hammer drill function is used for concrete for example the ring beam of a brick house it becomes more difficult to drill through concrete so the hammer function is for that purpose
