Can you use other bits in such as a metric hex tip. I have the 11-1 screwdriver but it only takes the Klein bits that have the snap-lock ball bearing

The driver shank pulls free from the handle and is reversible. One side is able to receive double sided 5/16" screwdriver bits. The other has a 3/8" reversible adapter that accepts 1/4" double sided bits on each end. Note: This driver is not magnetized. All bits must have tension bearings to stay in place... Damn annoying. Thoughts: I'm close to jbwelding the adapter in place, then jbwelding a standard magnetized bit tip holder in that, BUT, to still be able to reverse the shank, I'd have to cut a total of 3/4" out between the adapter and the bit receiver... It would be close, and you couldn't reverse it with a bit in the receiver. Wish this took standard tips. I WISH I'D BOUGHT: Bahco 808050, or the real Snap On ratcheting screwdriver (item SSDMR4BO)

Just about any drive bit adapter that you find at any hardware or big box store will work. I have even used drill bits that use the snap connector. Magnetic bit holders are very useful as well. You'll love this tool, mine is 16 years old and still going strong!

There is no bit driver on the tool. Unles you want to usr the plyers as a driver but it wont be very effective.

If you get the little bits with the hex base. Only in softer materials like wood or plastic. The rpm is slow for a drill.. So for just a few instead of getting out the drill it may work.

No, you need the hex. locking type. The round one just spin around and slip and slide. I thought I'd read that you couldn't use the hex kind but it is wrong. Don't need a chuck. hope that is helpful. I know little about drills but am learning. Drove me batty at first trying to figure out what they were talking about but nice drills Just buy or use the hex type.

Yes you can use regular hex bits in this extension.it has a notch in it to accept the leather man bits that are flat. Those bits are a must have for the leatherman as well. I use them and the extension constantly.

I am not currently located where my V-drillguide is located. I know that the drill guide that I ordered (called Standard Size) IS NOT metric. I have used it with fractional drills and it works great!

You can use any drill bit that has a 1/4" hex shank. Amazon has many different brands for sale. Go to the Amazon search engine, scroll down to tools & home improvement. Key in (drill bits with 1/4" shank) and a wide selection of bits will come up. Any questions, you can contact Dewalt at 800 4dewalt. Good luck

short and Long #2 phillips screwdriver bits and ones I use most outside standard drills.I had a good assortment of drill bits already and they all work.I picked up a 1/4 inch socket drive to use with my 1/4 inch sockets and that works great.

No, standard bits do not work. Does not have a standard chuck. Only SDS bits fit.

If you have a screwdriver that accepts hexagonal (6 sided) bits this set will work with it.

Funny you should ask. I was just using the screwdriver. The length depends on which bit you use. The flat screwdriver sticks out 1.25". There are 2 on each bit. The other end of the flat screwdriver is a phillips which is 1.5". They work so great!

Drill bits are available with hex shanks that fit the driver. I have used Irwin Speedbore bits for wood and found that it works far better than a non-impact driver for that purpose. Bits with diameters smaller than the hex portion of the shaft have a tendency to break too easily in my experience.

I have not tried, because the other bits come with own bearings. Checking with Whiteside would provide a sure answer.

You can use any 1/4" hex bits with this drill as they will fit into the snub nose that is part of the drill. Only the Festool bits will fit into some of the accessories. No matter what, get the drill set. You will not be disappointed.

YES, An allen wrench is the same as a hex key. When using them make sure they are fully inserted into the bolt head and no dirt or dust is in the head either. some are cut at the ends into a 'ball' shape for speed and ease of use during initial threading.
