Can the hammer/impact feature be switched on/off: Can the hammer/impact feature be switched on/off or is it always on?

No, the "hammer" feature cannot be turned off. It is a full-time impact driver. As with any impact driver, it is very loud. Personally, I still use a standard driver most of the time. An impact driver certainly has its place (i.e. driving lag bolts), but IMO a standard driver (or drill/driver) still works best for most jobs.

YES! I do it all the time :) just turn off the oscillating feature with a simple click of the middle button

YES. There's a ring near the chuck which not only sets the torque, but also clicks the drill into "hammertime"! Love my set. Haven't yet used the impact driver, but my son has one and it is great for driving lag bolts in deck construction. The hammer drill is the only one you'll need for drilling holes, driving screws etc. It worked like a charm when I drilled holes in a brick wall to mount some decorative stuff. I highly recommend this set.

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.

Yes. There is a on & off button. Therefore, you can keep this feature on/off.

I really could not answer this question. I could not use because the "on/off" little toggle was just too fragile and would not work properly. Sorry I can't give you an answer.

I've had mine for about 3 years and not noticed any problems like that. The hammer drill function is worth having. I haven't used the impact driver much but it has been a handy addition.

you can change the settings to or from hammer drill and you can also remove the handle that is simple plastic. So you can use the drill without the torque and impact by changing the settings

yes the drill can either be a hammer drill or you can switch it to strictly a drill mode.

just press the button in the middle. If you don't turn it off, it will eventually do it itself unless you have disabled that function.

Hi, Ms. Monahan - the Touch Control can not be turned off but it has different settings which include soft - medium or Hard! - But it didnot affect my playing ability, It's Sounds Terrific - Up to this DAY!

I really don't think so. I haven't been able to find one. There is no on/off switch that I have seen. Just fast or slow delay and the knob on the side goes from grind mode to levels of darkness.

impacts have a small hole to grease them. tool oil internally is a good idea too. but you have to get a grease gun tip to pack grease into the hammer part of the impact. hope this helps

Nope, the effects are built in to each setting. You can go further into menus to turn them off, but there isn't a single switch to flip them off easily

Can you turn off the voice over effect on the microphone or is it always on?

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.

The hammer does move but it is not fully function. Pulling the trigger does not move it and it does not lock back. Thanks Pyramyd air Team
