Does it lock in the off position so you can use it to initially break a screw loose and then spin it out with power? How does that work?

No it doesn't. The gear train between the motor and the screwdriver shaft is a high reduction setup. I.e. the motor turns fast and the shaft turns slowly. Trying to twist the the screwdriver bit in either direct can be done but is fairly difficult as you are trying to spin a reduction gear in the opposite direction. In other words, trying to spin the motor and the gears at high speed meets with serious resistance. It's OK for little screws, tho', up to M3/6BA.

I broke mine trying that. I would not recommend it. This thing is not heavy duty and should only be used for lose screws.

You twist it to the right to turn on and twist left to turn off. It's basically a little screw with a loop at the end. Works good though

With the side screw undone so it moves, it does rotate 360 degrees in the horizontal position, and can then be locked in place by tightening the side screw.

it locks by holding the rod in place and turning it in the direction of the arrows on the rod. There is a little sticker on there that shows the direction to turn so it locks in place. Once you start tightening it - it will turn til it tightens. Then it stays in place and that's that unless you decide to replace it higher lower etc. But it stays put from the pressure of tightening it. hope that answers your question!

Hello, gently twist the device counter-clockwise. If it doesn't move the retaining screw has been tightened. On the left-hand side there is a rubber cover. Lift up the bottom and you should find a phillips head screw underneath. Back out that screw a couple of turns and the device should twist off.

No it does not. It is meant to work as a solid unit. You could force it off but I don't know if it would work this way or even go back together.

The lock does not physically lock or unlock itself at all. It provides the ability for the *person* to provide the turning of the knob to lock or unlock from the outside. Without punching in the correct code, the outside knob just spins freely - it won't unlock. That said, if the lock is locked, and you punch in the correct code from the outside but don't turn the knob, it will automatically revert back to a free spinning knob in a few seconds - essentially keeping the door locked. If you are looking for it to automatically lock behind you after you close the door, this lock will not do that - it's designed to have the person do the turning of the lock knob to lock or unlock it.

Yes it does have a locking mechanism which allows you to break nuts and bolts loose.

On the bottom- Did you Take out the pins and switch to the other position? Not the lock position. Need lock position for setup and break down but once you set it up you can pull out the pin and switch it.

It has a position that locks out the retract mode and then you have to reposition it to get it back into the retract mode. Hope this helps.

What this switch does when the key is turned to "on" is complete the circuit from a battery to whatever it is you are powering. So, yes, I suppose it could work as a security device to prevent a battery from powering a circuit, such as the starter motor on a vehicle, if you removed the key and the switch was located somewhere that was not obvious. I have not tried it, but I think that even without the key one could easily rig something to complete a circuit, so having the unit in a non-obvious location would seem prudent.

After you exit, you have to manually rotate the knob to move and lock the deadbolt. When you rotate the knob, the internal bolt slides into the locked position and after you let go, the knob will rotate back via spring(while deadbolt stays in extdnded position thus locking door). Mind you, this mechanism operates a bolt, it does not automatically lock or even keep the door shut after you close it, ie it does not have a protruding, beveled latch that hits a strike plate.

It does not lock into position and is only balanced by the weights. I took another look at it and you may be able to rig something up to lock it but "out of the box" so to speak it does not lock.

It does lock on pretty tight but I found that if you twist counter clockwise it will release easily. Once you get it down it will be easier it took me a little time to figure it out too.

It's easy to move it to the position you want, then lock it in. The supplied Allen (hex) wrench does the trick for loosening/tightening all swivel points.

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.

It is not magnetic, it is mechanical in operation. The stop lever has two tabs that engage to hold the stop button closed. So the power will be off if the power is disconnected.
