I am kind of confused on something, on the bosch website, it shows this drill as having a lock button on the side, reviewers say NOT

I have this drill. It does not, does NOT have a lock for the trigger. And I will say this, this drill has enough power to snap your wrist, you do NOT want a trigger lock button for something that has this much power. I had another powerful drill with a lock button and SEVERELY injured my wrist with it because even though I let go of the trigger... it was locked and would not stop until my friend unplugged it for me. The drill literally untwisted the 3/4 drill bit and I couldn't use that hand effectively for 3 months. SO.... you do not want a lock button for the trigger on a powerful drill such a this one.

My drill, which is Model HD21-2, does not have a lock button nor does it have a variable speed control on the trigger as shown in the photo in Amazon. Although a lock button may have been useful, I can see no value in a variable speed control in a drill with a 2 speed gear change.

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

That's a good question, I wondered the same thing, I did a search at different sites using the model number, what I found out is that the picture is in error, there is a button in the middle of the knob to turn to lock it. It's a really nice lock set. hope i answered your question clearly

No it does not.For most products these days, including most Bosch products, questions like this can be answered by looking at the instruction manual on the manufacturer's web site. But for some reason, Bosch did not publish a copy of the instruction manual for this specific product there, even now several years after the product was released. And even if you should get a copy, it is one of the poorest instruction manuals I have ever seen.

Yes there is supposed to be a locking screw on the right hand side you need the tiny allen wrench and twist it out but if that does not fix it and you need to send it back their customer service is excellent I had one that broke and was able to send it back got a new one and now well over 500rds with no problems

The drill does not physically have a "keyless chuck", it is considered keyless because you do not need any key to change the bit. To change bit simply hold the front end of the drill with one hand slowly press the trigger with the other hand, if it tightens, then push in the green arrow behind the trigger and slowly press the trigger again; the drill will now open up, insert the bit, push in the arrow button again, hold the front end and slowly press the trigger the bit should tighten up and you are now ready to use the drill.

No I don't believed so, the bit is a slipped on type and when it goes in it need to be locked via the grooves at the top of the bit. there is no key to lock the smooth round shank. it is a slipped in slipped out system by pressing down/pulling down the front of the drill to allow the bit to go in or come out.

Hi JasonI don't have my manual handy but you can find out quickly if you go to the Bosch website and engage the chat function. I've found this very helpful for specific questions like yours.

I'm not sure I understand. You can drill clockwise and use reverse to help back the drill bit out. Is that what you mean?

Hi Ann, That's correct, there is no mechanism to hold the arbor....it's design with a taper fit, so that when pushed up into the chuck it fits with a tight snug...the unit comes with a wedge tool to remove the arbor from the chuck when you need a different size arbor to handle drill bits that don't fit the arbor they sell you with the drill press. Hope this answered your question..

I think it is the same tool just with a different name for outside the US. It's described as the same at http://oz-tool-talk.tumblr.com/post/91705610008/bosch-brushless-review-drill-and-impact-driver-wrench

Yeah the markings make no sense because there is no point of reference. If you hold it in one hand and slowly push the drive in with your other hand you will see the direction it moves whether slightly clockwise or CCW. If you want it to torque the other way, just turn push in and rotate to the other setting.

Our inside bottom handle has a button turn lock. I usually just use the deadbolt when home alone, but lock both at night. Our set is as advertised and we like it very much. We've had many compliments on the appearance and we live in a condominium community. There are different options for the bottom handle and it sounds as though you received one without an inside lock, which is strange if it locks from the outside. Look up the options as you may just need a different inside handle.

Yes, as noted already, an LED light just above the trigger. You can illuminate it without the drill spinning by lightly pulling the trigger. Handier than I thought it would be. Since my purchase and heavy use of this drill I've used a Bosch PS31 3601H68111 < # on drill, not sure if it's the model #) and love it. Very compact, and for most common tasks, all you would ever need!

No, just push a lock on the tool that keeps the shaft from moving, open, or close, the chuck and insert or remove a drill bit. It is easy, no extra tools required.

It does not have a locking mechanism. I would not use to break tight bolts as ratchet does not seem beefy enough for that. Still a great tool as I have most of the Milwaukee line of cordless.
