can the drill bits used for shells or soft rock from the ocean?

These are wood drill bits. I am not sure how long they would last for your material.

They would probably dull quickly as they're designed to be used in wood. You probably should use a carbide bit for rock and shells.

I don't think they would be particularly effective, and the effort would likely get you a jagged hole (at best) or a broken shell (at worst) and ruin the bit in the process. A set of masonry bits for drilling ceramic tile would probably be more suited to the task.

I use these in wood all the time my answer would be no you probably could but they would not hold up to many holes as they are only high speed steel not carbide or diamond

You could, with a very small electric drill. My son does but remember, the bits (etc) are not made for this type of use. One has to be very careful. I hope that helps.

If you have a good battery operated drill, the answer is it depends. If the sand is soft and will cave into the hole, it is up to you. If you around tree roots the answer is no. Remember this drill bit is not from harden steel and it will bend. Also, the drill may spin in a the Chuck of the drill.

i think so, we drilled through marble. just make sure to allow the bit to cool between drilling

Technically yes, drill bits with hex ends are available, that's all you can use. The speed however of the driver is pretty slow for drilling

it does not come with a drill bit, but if u can find one for it, it should drill. It has a lot of power at a low speed. I am sure u can use the Phillips head to drill a hole. (Sheetrock)

I actually haven't tried them for such an application but it is my impression that they will break. I would use much higher quality high speed steel drill bits for non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum.

Absolutely... oil or cutting fluid is a must or the bits will overheat and dull very quick.

Yes, however check the chuck capacity. Using a larger diameter bit than you drill is rated for is a good way to burn it up. I've done it before, with caution.

Yes, those bits will work in this screwdriver. The screwdriver comes with a flathead screw bit and a phillipshead screw bit. No. This is a relatively low RPM screwdriver and is not intended for drilling. It may drill holes in thin soft wood with the second set of bits you identified, but I would not expect to have satisfactory performance since it is really a screwdriver, not an electric drill.

Unfortunately I use these drill bits for drilling stone not glass. For me I use a high RPM 10k - 25k under water to keep the bit cool and clean. I would think the same process would work for fused glass as well. For the price of the bits and if you have a piece of glass try some drilling to see what would work best for your process.

This drill works great, but it is the bits that make drilling glass, shells, or any kind of tile easier. I would recommend you buy some diamond drill bits.

long as you have the right bit. It's not a hammer drill but you can drill small holes ect into masonry and all with a masonry bit.

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

When using the appropriate drill bits,I have found this drill to be good for all materials. Works well with masonry bits,but will never out-perform a hammer drill for this application.

Not very safely. The device is unbalanced and thus it would be incredibly difficult to hold the drill steady enough to have this drill effectively. A drill press would be the only safe way to use this bit.

If you use hex ended drill bits you can. However, the driver turns slowly so it would only work for soft material with not a lot of depth needed. I only use it for started holes for screws.
