Do these bits have a smooth round shaft or a hex shaft?

They have a round shaft and will be properly accommodated in a standard chuck.

3/8"(9.52mm) round shafts.I absolutely would not buy these though,the cutting edges on the set I returned were completely rounded from the factory,a mark of poor quality control.

Yes they will, no problem. They will fit any standard bit. Good quality bearings!

The drive shaft of this drill is hex based only. If u have a hex attachment for a socket set you could probably use the drill for low torque type work, but otherwise this drill is primarily a power screwdriver.

Regular bits do not work. We bought some hex bits that do fit the Makita. We also bought a chuck that fits the shaft that takes regular bits. The chuck has worked well with the exception of a few problems loosing the keyless chuck that is not an issue with the Makita.

These are standard jobber drill bits. The shank is the same size as the flute part of the drill. The shank is also smooth. It just depends on how small the chuck can close down to. Some 1/2" drill chucks will not clamp down on the smallest of bits but the limit is whatever size the chuck will tighten to, will determine what the smallest drill bit you will be able to use.

P.S. Okay after a little checking. This has a 1/4" hex socket probably with a magnet in the bottom of the socket to hold the screwdriver tip or special drill bit in the socket. These drill bits have a smooth shaft the same diameter as the drill therefore these will NOT work with this screwdriver unless you have a separate chuck with a 1/4" hex shaft to insert in the socket on the screwdriver.

Hi!! The bits are not labeled but it is not necesary for me to know the diameter. Thanks!

You sure can Judy. The hex shape is for a slip free fit in the drill chuck. It usually has zero to do with the bit size. Whether your bit is a twist or forstner, all measurements should be made at the cutting end of the bit. I use inexpensive calipers (Standard fraction units for fractional bits, Metric for metric bits)purchased at a hardware store. Hardware stores also sell a drill index for checking bit size. It's a flat piece of either steel of plastic with hole punched in it with corresponding size next to the hole. Hope this helps.

The round-shank (end) section is 24mm (~15/16") diameter, ~2" long.The (notched) hex-shank section is 30mm (~1 3/16") flat-to-flat, ~2 5/8 " long.

It uses the standard 1/4" bits. I have several sets from previous tools, and they are all the same.

No. I measured it with a digital vernier caliper. These are the dimensions: Round shaft: 0.93", Hex (flat to flat) 1.18", Top round shaft 0.93", cut part is 1". Keep in mind the item is made in metric dimensions no english units. Also, remember that this is the old Hitachi standard and is different than the standard Hex sizes used today.

No. only accepts 1/4" hex shaft bits...I use it with a set of cheap adapters also from amazon which allow me to use all of my smaller 1/4" and 3/8" drive sockets with it.

I have used cheap bits that either fall apart or bend. These hold up very well either in wood or standard steel. So far no problems .

They are standard 1/4" hex so they should fit any 1/4" driverGood solid bits

I suggest you read the description better and listen to the other answers. These are very small and precise bits not meant for drilling.

I have used "Round End" bits for drilling. Usually, "Hex End" for driving screws.
