I got mine from my dad as a gift. You can rent them from Home Depot if you have one close by.

I used a 5/16 drill bit and a 1/8th inch pipe thread tap to get the threads started, do not thread the tap in to deep just about 3 threads that way the hole won't be to big. I am sure their are other ways to do it, this is what works for me.

I would get a hold of Amazon and let them give you direction on what to do. I built a deck on three sides of my summer cottage with the compact driver but haven't used the drill that much. I haven't had any problems with either though.

Suggest contacting Bosch to see if they have one. Otherwise, probably would buy a cheap spade drill set from Walmart , thow the bits away and use the case.

The drill only came with a one piece Phillips/flathead... I ordered the others at the same time for my husband off amazon too.

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

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.

If you can't borrow one, check out your local swap meet or pawn shop. We had to drill into masonry, but if you don't need to any basic drill should do.

No drilling necessary, pretty easy install. This video sums up the install fairly well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVCFx_bN0WI

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.

You can buy cheap attachments for an electric drill. I recommend that instead. MJ

Kind of... You need special drill bit that fits the drill. Bits come in various sizes, but they must have a hex end to fit in the "chuck". You can buy the special bit at most home improvement stores.

Not advisable, however if you're just wanting to drill one hole for something, you can buy a masonry drill bit but they don't last long and it's hard on the drill. It's best to buy a hammer drill if you're going to be doing a lot of concrete/masonry drilling.

I'm used a drill bit that came in a Dewalt drill bit set...nothing unusual. Perhaps you have different screws.Sorry can't help you more.

Sure, just get a masonary bit for your drill. May want to get mason screws as well. The screws they provide with these bars were on the cheap side anyway.

No you do not need a drill. It comes with a hex wrench. All you need is a phillips head scew driver. Very easy to assemble and takes just minutes and they are sturdy.

That type of bit screw driver should be available at most hardware stores but you probably will end up buying one with bits. Good to have extra anyhow!
