I need additional drill bits from 7/32" to 1/2" with a hex shank to fit this drill. What can I buy?

I will have to agree with William, I would not use that big of drill bit in these. I very seldom use a larger drill than the PS21, since it meets most of my needs. But safety-wise, a larger bit in this small a tool may kick, try to spin the drill, and at least sprain your wrist.

search amazon for "hex shank drill bits". One selection is a 30-piece set, http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Grade-30-Piece-Quick-Change-Shank-COBALT/dp/B000H0Y7Q6/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1387061017&sr=1-6&keywords=drill+bits+hex+shank+set To avoid the issue raised by the previous responders, set the clutch to something other than "drill" so that the clutch will slip if the bit should bind up

Not sure what you are asking. I would not use this driver for larger bits, though. Anything over a 1/4" or so might hurt your wrist if you aren't careful. It's main use is a driver, not a drill.

I have used up to 1 1/4 inch paddle bits on this drill (it struggles with 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 but 1" on down it works great (though with 3/4 or 1" you have to clear out the chips every 2" or so if you are drilling down through more than 1 2x).

Hi Jim.I'm not sure what is "standard hex bits"..., butI have 2 other sets of hex bits (from my old screwdrivers) and all of them has the same size and fits exact to this model too.Roman.

I could only find squarehead and drywall screws locally at HD and could only buy the special long bits from the local makita service center, (30mins away) they have an extra long peice on the hex end past the ball indent ,so standard bits dont fit in the gun. I ended up returning mine as it just wasnt well enough supported locally to make all the hassles worth it.

The answer to this conundrum is a drill adapter set. This rapid load holder takes the standard hex shank quick-change bits. The type of set here [http://www.amazon.com/Snappy-Drill-Bit-Adapter-Set/dp/B003AS9JXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388951160&sr=8-1&keywords=snappy+drill+adapter] will, I believe, accommodate your 51 and 52 bits. 53 maybe not, but see information about these adapters.

yes anything with standard chuck should work if the chuck is 3/8 some larger bits might not fit! 1/2 bits probably wont fit!

Any drill bit will work. Home Depot, Walmart, Sears, Amazon, Lowes, any hardware store. Bits with the 1/4 inchadapter on the end are at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Amazon.

It has to be the same chuck size. Check the drill and the bit before purchase.

Like Jerome and Conan replied, you need hex shaft drill bits and they are available everywhere. it is very practical if you do cabinetry and come across 12 inch wide cabinets. A real time saver and helpful addition to your cordless drill/driver kit.

I can use all the bits I have including my cheap unknown brand cordless drill. I haven't found any that doesn't fit, but I don't have very many different brands. Hope that helps!

Standard size 1/4 inch bits will not fit but you can purchase assortments of 1/8 inch "precision" bits that have hex heads and other assortments that may be suitable for your needs. search for "precision bits."

Yes. The screws are hex heads and if I remember right are eighth inch. You can get them at most hardware and home improvement stores. A hex head bit in a multi-bit screwdriver would also work if the holes are large enough for the shaft to fit. A long allen wrench is another alternative.

The bits would be too large for a Dremel tool. They are designed for drills and tools that will take the 1/4" hex shanks.

You can buy bits that are larger than 3/8 inch that have a 3/8 shank. If you plan to do a lot of drilling with bits larger than 3/8 ", invest in a bigger drill motor. As another reviewer mentioned, the thread count has to match to go to the larger chuck. Also, it is not alwasy easy to remove the original chuck. Make sure you try to remove it before ordering the replacemant, if you wish to go that route.

Use the size that comes with it and nothing else. I ruined my old one by using one that was a different size. Mine came with plenty of bits so I just stick with mine now. Oh BTY I LOVE MY DRILL!!! :-) It's wonderful!

I haven't found any I can't use, there's a lot of different bits in the box so it's only limited by how much different hardware you use. I don't have the hammer drill and impact drill and all the bit's fit both

Granddad's answer is correct. Fortunately, I had a set of Irwin hex shank drill bits that fit so I didn't need a chuck on a hex shaft. I was drilling holes in the corner of bookcase for wiring, so a chuck wouldn't let me get as close as I wanted.
