I'm a beginner & this came with no steps! I know how to put the bits in the chucks and secure them. But how does the actually thing start drilling?

You need to put some pressure on the back part and spin the main body with your fingers. Try spinning it without drilling to get a feel for it. Just don't push too hard.

This is a *hand* drill set, meaning that your hand provides the twisting action of the drill. Typically you hold the shaft of the handle between the thumb and first two fingers of your right hand (if you are right handed), and the butt of the tool (which twists) presses against the palm of your hand while you twist the shaft. These are really tiny bits, so you have to go very slowly and provide light but even pressure while you twist. Never apply off-axis force or the bits will break. The key is to go very slowly.

It is a hand drill so you have to turn it by hand, much soft of like a screwdriver.

The first thing I would recommend you doing is looking a video up on YouTube, but I'll also try to help you out! Pick up and hold the drill in the palm of your hand, you'll then notice that if you press the bit against a surface you can spin the drill and it becomes "free-moving". By applying pressure and spinning the drill with your fingers, it'll start drilling through the material. Hope that helps!

These are fine drills for jewelers and electronics repairs etc. They are powered manually by spinning the mandrel / pin vise with your fingers carefully.

There is one piece that has an end like a drill bit. It fits in your drill chuck just like a drill bit. You need to read the instructions as it is important not to set your drill in reverse or the pieces will come apart in the pipe. They suggest using electrical tape when you screw the sections together. I also used Loc-Tite Red on the threads and leave the three sections together all the time. I use the unit to clean the pipe on my pellet stove and it works great.

The bits have slots on the sides and slip into the chuck, you then turn the chuck and it locks the bit in.

Actually the chuck is the size of the drill bit your drill will hold. You open the chuck to change the drill bit. This drill will hold a 3/8" drill bit very easily. It comes with some bits. You can then purchase additional size bits that do not come with it.

You just hold on to keyless chuck tightly with your hand, put drill in forward or reverse and squeeze trigger lightly to open or close keyless chuck and insert or remove drill bit. Reverse procedure as necessary.

YesIt comes with a manual drill bit. They simplified the process by giving you everything you need in the box. (Template, drill, ..)

It is a keyless chuck. Just twist the black end of the drill - where you insert the bit - to tighten or loosen.

Hi Frank, I purchased this as a gift for my husband and I had to purchased a chuck adapter that has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly. It works well for light drilling .I got both at Amazon and got a great deal .My uncle told me about this drill set,because he also has the same one .My husband love his set. So do I. They both won't leave the house with out theirs drill when working on their projects. I did get and extra battery that why you always have a charge. Frank I hope this was helpful.

Twist the chuck counterclockwise with your hand. If it's stuck, give the first little twist a bit of a snap. To tighten the chuck, twist it clockwise until it stops. This drill doesn't require a chuck key.

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

No sds drills like this one do not have keyed chucks they take special sds bits that have a spline pattern that just push in to the Chuck and lock in place. To remove them You just slide the outer collar of the Chuck back and pull it out. The Chuck will only accept sds and sds plus bits.

As you turn the chuck with a bit in it you can feel it click as tightens. The harder you turn it the tighter it gets & it doesn't back up.

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 must also add that you should not press hard on the drill while drilling because it'll only pressure the drill. Take your time and use it.

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 never tried but having been a machinist before retirement, I seriously doubt it. I think that the drill "chips" would prevent the drill from cutting into them. And they may be to hard. But taking a better look at them, they seem to be crimped together, maybe filled with some magnetizing element. What the heck, if I wanted to drill a hole in them and they were mine, I would give it a try. L.

You dont need a drill. Get a nail about the size of the screw and hammer it in half the screw length. Pull it out, set the base, screw in the screw with a screw driver. Righty tighty. So you need a hammer and a screw driver, 1 good size nail. Easy
