Can you change the drill bit without feeling like you are going to twist off your hand??

Bought this set for my wife and she loves using it! She has no trouble changing the bits at all.

I haven't really had an issue with it, but I guess it depends on how much you tighten it in the first place.

Yes, insert drill bit, tighten it by turning, then use power just slightly.

Yes. It is very well designed and I am really happy with it. Simple to change from forward to reverse, and a cinch to swap out drill bits or driver heads. Really pleased with this purchase!

That would not concern me. Mine does too. A lot of slotted tools that take bits do that, but if you're holding it upside down and the bit is falling out without touching it, your bit-extender is probably the problem and it's not retaining the bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't be critical if there is some movement.

Yes-The chuck locks up when not powered, you can turn the whole body like a manual screw driver.

Certainly! The nose of the tool rotates to control how much torque (twisting force) is applied to the drill bit, driver, etc., before the clutch releases, while the trigger controls how fast the chuck and bit rotate. This is one heck of a tool - but be aware, if used with a special auger for digging planting holes, if the auger hangs up suddenly on a root or rock, the drill will counter-rotate very forcefully and leave you with a very sore wrist or worse! Not an issue for standard drilling, polishing, etc.

U can just use the switch and not even plug in the foot pedal. Just flip the switch to hand and it becomes a hand held drill. I love this drill!!!

No because the end of the bit that fits in the drill needs to be the exact size and shape of the slot on the drill. There is no way to adjust the size of the slot like on a standard drill.

I haven't tried, but I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to. The end is adaptable to different size drill bits.

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

Yes, just loosen the hex set screw you can see in the picture to remove the drill. But as with any hole saw, you will have to use a drill press and firmly clamp the material in place. If you use a hand drill, you won't be able to control it precisely and it will tend to walk over the material when it makes contact. After ruining the material, it will try to do the same to your other hand!

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.

Yes, it is. There are a few circumstances where it would be nice to have the bit not rotate, but that is the way they're designed.

Hold your handle base tightly and turn the top of your drill to the left the drill will open in order to change your bits

Yes. There's a push switch above and to the rear of the trigger that pokes out on both sides of the drill. Push in from right side, and it goes forward, push in from the left side and it goes in reverse.

Yes, easily done as long as you have the quick load ends with your drill set. A regular drill will not work as there is no way for the bit to stay in the drill. Not sure you are familiar with the quick load items but they are the type that get inserted into your drill without a need to tighten anything. Most of your different screw tips have this feature also. If your drill bits are not this type, a set can be purchased from Amazon at a very reasonable price.

how do u change drill or drill bits...for drill bits.. you have to hold the silver botton down and twist where the drill bit goes. when the bit is off you have to do the something to put it on.

To change out the drill bits, simply push in button while twisting the bit holder. Do the same action to insert or remove bits.
