I need to know if I can use this drill without the foot pedal. can it just be plugged in and used that way? also I need carbide and diamond bits only

yes I use it both ways with and without the pedal. it had been a good investment so far. I use both bits

Yes you can use it with out the foot pedal and I'm not sure about the drills I just used the one that came with it I hope this helps

Only if you want the drill to turn. When using as a hammer or paperweight, battery pack is optional

Obviously it doesn't have as much torque as an 18 volt portable drill. Amazingly at this small size it has a hammer drill. The chuck size is also smaller than in most 18volt drills... which can be an issue with some bigger drill bits.It's OK for most lite work. Most people in construction may feel it is lacking...

My original screwdriver kit contained an adapter that slides in and has a hex end that takes my regular 1/4" drive bits. That said, without the adapter the drive bits do fit, they just are very short when seated. The new drill comes with a nice assortment of drive bits that work without an adapter also. Hope this helps.

no way!, this is a hammer drill , i HIGHLY recommend against using this for screws. Use a smaller 3/8 power drill like this one PORTER-CABLE PC600D 6 Amp 3/8-Inch Variable Speed Drill However i always recommend using a cordless drill for installing/taking out screws. If your drill does not have enough power it may seem that way for other reasons, maybe the batteries are not good, or maybe your screws are big and need to be pilot drilled first.

There was not bit included with the drill, so I cannot say. One should make sure that very small bits are available.

Like Jerome and Conan replied, you need hex shaft drill bits and they are available everywhere. it is very practical if you do cabinetry and come across 12 inch wide cabinets. A real time saver and helpful addition to your cordless drill/driver kit.

I doubt it would work at all without the foot pedal, I can't think of a way you would be able to wring it by hand. I will say the company is good to work with though, I immediately broke my connection when I first tried it and they sent me a replacement immediately.

No Dewalt box with this drill. You can use this drill as a driver, but there is no "impact" function to act like the impact driver.

I'm sorry I can not help you much.I purchased this drill for my Father.He wanted it for both purposes if he needed it.However I'm not sure if he ever used it for either?It's a nice looking heavy feeling drill.I showed him how it worked and it worked is all I can say.For the price and for what he may or may not need,it's a great purchase.

It is not controlled with a foot pedal just the silver turn nob on the power box. But it is a very good drill gets the job done.

I myself would not use these Dremel bits with a drill. They weren't made or intended for a drill. Otherwise I think that is how they would advertise. These bits and a drill, electric or battery....I think is a bad idea. Get a real Dremel tool. Save yourself a lot of hassles or unforeseen accedent in the end. Thx SF-P

Nope you did it correct. Speed is controlled by the main box. The foot pedal is for the convenience of not having to turn the drill on and off.

Lol you don't need a drill for doing that. That is a bit funny. However the drill is very powerful.

I do not use this tool as a drill motor, so my answer is incomplete.Yes, in order to install drill bits you will most likely need an adapter, as the collet installed on the motor is optimized for one (and only one) shaft diameter. unless your drill bit is 'just right' it will not fit properly without an adapter. Cannot address the 'which one' part of the question.

There is no pedal included with this drill. You control the speed and direction of the drill on the front of it. You can control the power on the drill itself or the power source.

Not sure if I am understanding your question correctly. What I did do is grab the drill and I was able to turn the chuck without pulling the trigger or powering up the drill. I hope this helps.
