When delicate drilling is needed can the hammer action on the drill be switched off?

The drill (the larger tool) has no hammer action. The smaller unit is an impact driver only and its action cannot be turned off

The collar next to the chuck has the clutch settings as well as the hammer or no hammer settings. So the answer to your question is yes it can be set to no hammer.

Hammer is for going through concrete wall. Power drill doesn't have same power and can burn out motor.

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 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.

As long as the grease drips is nothing to worry about. This kind of hammer drill is always a little bit dirty. When the drill bit comes out clean and dry, you have to lubricate the hammer drill. Normally you have to bring it to a De Walt service center for maintenance.

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.

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.

It switch's , it can be hammer drill , regular Drill , and also has a screw function with diffrent torque settings , 1-20 or so.

No. You don't need it. This is an impact. It breaks torque or adds it. If it were a drill motor I would recommend it and it would have one with it. Also check April Whine's answer. K. Wilson, Union Mechanic Local Union # 177 SMWIA.

Yes there is a switch to shut off the brush for bare floors and attachment usage. However, I have great difficulty getting it locked into the off position. I have to use two hands because of the strength of the spring, and there is no convenient place to get leverage. A man's larger, stronger hand may not have this problem.

Well, that would depend on your strength. If you press hard enough, you could definitely stop the motor, but it is pretty strong. That's the problem I had, the motor is strong enough to break the plastic piece that connects to it.

No. This has a mild action and can be stopped with very little effort. It's primary use is for light detail polishing.

This is NOT a hammer drill. It is just a standard drill/driver. The driver part is just a function that lets you drive screws and such. It has a collar that rotates from a drill function to a screw driver with a variable clutch to control the torque applied to various screw sizes.

Yes. There is an opening on the side to turn it on/off silent. It is small though, and having nails helps!

Further to my previous answer, if he's going to use this hammer drill to mix grout or paint, he should shut off the hammer (SLIDE THE ORANGE SLIDER SWITCH ON THE TOP TO THE RIGHT) as there will be no concrete aggregate stone to absorb the hammer blows and he will be wasting a lot of energy, not to mention unnecessarily wearing out the hammer function.V.C.F

The Life Hammer appears To come apart with loosening 3 screws. I would think you could change the blade once its open, However I have never tried.

If you have it mounted in the right location, yes! That's how I turn my saw off. I just bump it with my thigh.
