How difficult is it to change a drill bit?

Easy--peazy! If I can do it...anyone can do it! I am a 78 yr. old great-grandmother, and I love this pink drill!

There's no chuck key. The previous answer is the proper way to change/ remove a bit from the drill chuck.

It's very simple, you just hold the drill firmly in one hand and twist the end of the chuck in the other. Open wide enough to insert the size bit you need then twist in the other direction. The chuck will move very little while twisting.

you will have to put a reducer on the bits as they are primarily hex shaft 1/4 inch. I would suggest getting a drill driver and save the hassle.

No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

It's not keyless but at the speeds it can run I wouldn't want it to be. It comes with the standard size key. There's a holder for the key on the drill press so it easy to change whatever you are using. You twist the key in the slot on the chunk and it opens the arms/mouth of the chuck the you slide a new item in and tighten it back up. The holder for the key is rubber so you just push or pull it from the holder, so it can be done with one hand.

No. At least on my unit. But judicious use of tape seems to help. The whole assembly is a little wobbly. You have to hold the chuck at slow speed until the bit is embedded. Quick change bits are not that stable. I enjoy it anyway. Tom

Yes. You can make any adaptations to the bits you want. You can also buy the right bit. The way I look at an item or tool is what is the action of it. If a tool pounds you just need an adaptation. I, myself weld so a lot of times I can make these myself.

By pulling straight out on the bit holder it will release the locking pin. At which point you can install or change your drill bits or drive tools which ever you are using.

No I have not used the drill bit set but I have used the B&D Electric screwdriver # PD400LG. What is your question?

Hi Jason, no its not, and its a Bitch. You must be very careful doing it. The metal of the Mepro is much harder than expected. I bought a new bit, and still buggered it up. If you want a clean install, and are not real handy have it done.The Best, Jim

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, you'll have to drill the current 3/8" holes out to 1/2". it took me more time to find and chuck up my bit than to drill the holes.

I used as a replacement for existing knobs so a drill bit wasn't needed. Not knowing the size of drill bits, I can only say the hole needed is the same as other knobs. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

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.

It is not difficult, as there is a "button" you depress on the top of the tool to detach the item you are using, and replace it by snapping in the attachment you want. The drill and sander work fine for me, but the jig saw was not great.

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.
