Why don't my nail bits fit into they drill? It seems they are way to big to even squeeze. Did I receive the wrong bits for my drill? -- THANKS I had to press the silver button and twist the metal piece off and also stretch out the piece, now works...

Take the screw cap completely off and stretch out the metal piece that the bits fit into. Then it should be ok.

Funny! I tried it a for awhile, it did not work. Went back to it, it did not work. Finally I figured it out. Have you figured it out yet? A couple of things: 1) the pole pulls out to be longer. It should be as tall as you are. 2) it seems like it does not fit in hole. But, you have to push hard. 3) Look at picture on box. The parts will actually end up looking like the picture. (Smile)

I'm used a drill bit that came in a Dewalt drill bit set...nothing unusual. Perhaps you have different screws.Sorry can't help you more.

So, the grip is fine. The trouble is with the force applied versus the strength of the metal. I have one gamey big toenail, and I have to slowly progress the length of the nail to get it to cut. It's a little bit of a pain, but it does eventually work. And you'd be hard-pressed to have a nail thicker than mine. Yeesch.

The bit sticks out 7/8 of an inch, the total tool is 1 7/8". I'm sure you could get the bit out by pounding it out but it does not appear it just comes out. Hope this helps

Sorry to say that I had the same trouble with mine. I ran the pressure up to 110 and it started to drive the nails. Just to add I thought this gun would shoot staples but only pin nails. Wish I had better news for you.

I had the same problem. It's a press fit but very tight. Pull the black tip straight out with a pair of pliers while holding onto the blue part. You'll see the bit is double-ended - just flip it around to use the other end/size and push it in until it clicks into the little slot on the blue handle.

Hey olivia ! You have to hold the button and unscrew the silver round part and in there you will see a small silver part where they bits are "supposed to fit" but just take that out (it should fall out) and it should be okay.

I bought it for my cordless Dremel Tool but the shaft is bigger than 1/8", so I have to use it in my drill. Dremel makes a larger tool that fits this bit. But I didn't want to buy another tool to fit the bit. Next time I will read ALL the user comments!

I have not experience the change in drill bits. Before paying for dull bits, double check that the bit works on this or any other nail drill machine.I do believe however that this Belle Nail drill works with most standard drill bits.

I guess if you could find a drill bit with a skinny shaft you could. I've never seen a bit like that. May be they make them. i didn't buy it to drill with, I bought it to file my dogs nails.

After reading all the questions:: Thought to add:I just used this bit in my DeWalt 18v standard drill (NOT a hammer drill or a "driver") CORDLESS.It fit right in that "quick chuck" that comes on these common battery tools.Note: This would NOT fit in any 3/8" chuck tool...or, 1/4" for that matter.

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'll be super honest - I used a drill and the torx bit and just tightened them until they wouldn't go any further. I've periodically checked them, but they are all still tight tight. I didn't bother with a torque wrench.

Hi. I use several small wire twist bits, smallest is probably around a .041". I just checked and the chuck closes down to tight, so I expect it will securely hold even the smallest sizes. Only problem (if it could be considered a problem) is I need to snip off about 3/4" of the drill bit shank for the bit to fit as far up in the chuck as I need it to. The holes I drill are less than 1/4" deep so I need for most of the bit to fit up inside the chuck, but it's not a big deal to use a pair of stout diagonal pliers to cut them off. It's a cheaply made drill but has served the purpose to drill thousands of holes (in wood) since I've had it, and if it suddenly died I'd probably just buy another of the same. Hi.

It's probably because you aren't putting the bit in correctly. You have to pull the front tip of drill out a little bit then insert drill bit. Bit will lock in place. If you can't figure it out go see a tool store. Hope this helps
