I bought this Cobra snake. Like someone said, the bit does not fit a hex cordless drill. How safe is this to use with an electric drill?

I used my battery drill, but even with two people (one drilling slowly and one managing the snake), we kinked it up inside the sheath. I ended up pulling the toilet off the floor to clear it. If you have a straight shot at the pipe, maybe it would work. The bends in the toilet were too much for this snake.

I use mine with an electric drill and have had no issues both at low and high rpm. I guess my only concern with an electric drill would be if you had a lot of standing water and had to work while standing in it, but that is not a problem I have had to deal with.

I just used mine to clear a 2" vacuum line with no issues. Worked just fine with my Milwaukee cordless drill. It is the first one I have found that will go around the tight elbows in central vacuum pipe. Can't speak as to how it will hold up since this is the first time I have used it.

It is safe...just have to be careful when using so you don't try to force rotation or you may break the connection like i did...put it back together easy enuf!!

Yes it is, I actually ordered it specifically for my Amp Cell Hybrid. I believe all Cobra adjustable clubs use the same size torx bit.

The question seems wrong. The drill has a female receiver as does the charger. The drill could not be harmed by the charger without some strange type of adapter. I think what you want to know is if the battery would be damaged if it was in the charger when the charger was plugged into the wrong outlet. I probably should have started this response with I don't know. For what it is worth I don't think your battery would be damaged. The charger on the other hand makes me have visions of smoke and also brings to mind the smell of melting plastic. In short I think you have ruined your charger. I hope this long winded answer helps.

I have not tried these in my cordless drill, but they should work fairly well. I have used smaller shanked drill bits, so these should work. These are made for Dremel type hand tools that turn quite a lot faster. Give it a try................

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.

If you use one of the smaller drill bits and don't have to do more than one hole. Otherwise get a bigger drill. I use mine mostly for pilot holes, but then again I have other drills. The advantage of this drill is that it is cordless and works with regular batteries so you don't have to put up with a cord or an uncharged cordless drill for a small job.

Whatever the sizes of allen hex bits that come with the unit, I have installed two scopes using this tool, and none of the allen hex key bits fit the scope rings... Fortunately, the scope ring manufacturer included the correct size hex key. To preclude damaging the scope tube, I installed the rings the "old school" way, tightening the screw using the short arm of the allen wrench for leverage. When I attempted to tighten the mounting screws on my Howa 1500, the largest hex key was still too small... Hint: buy a complete set of bits if you plan to do much work on your firearms...

Sounds like a design flaw. The square end of the drill bits should fit snugly inside the drill.

I'm not sure. I know that you have to use a drill for quite a while to complete the whole process, so I used a corded (not cordless) electric drill. If I were you, I'd find a drill that can get to the needed 1200 RPM. And realize that corded drills are sometimes cheaper than cordless drills.

I used my Black and Decker 18 Volt Lithium Ion cordless drill. I think it has a 3/8 inch bit, but I think this will even fit a 1/4 inch bit drill. You definitely do not need a commercial drill but you want something with a little bit of power as drilling in dirt with a dull large spiral blade is significantly different that drilling into wood with a highly sharpened bit.

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 fhave a standard cordless drill. It just fits in the chuck and I tighten it and off I go. As I recall you should only go in the clockwise/tighten direction. Its easy. And it works very well.

If you use hex headed pieces in the drill chuck I think you could. The only negative I can say about this drill is the chuck don't hold a drill bit very tight. The Black and decker NiCad battery life is far superior to a DeWalt or Porter Cable. The battery can set all winter and still have a nearly full charge.

Some of the larger bits in this set may be used carefully in a handheld power drill, but certainly the tinier ones will snap off instantly. A drill press (or milling machine) is the best bet for getting the most out of the entire set. Also, screws are hardened steel and are very hard to drill through. I fear the combination of handheld drill along with the hardness of the target will lead to poor results. Look to "screw extractors" for a better system.

Yes I have hex keys that fit in my drill and they work great, just use a low speed.

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.

We have owned three of them. They work great with a cordless drill. We hooked it up to an electric drill and it broke. We think the electric drill was too powerful. Not for sure tough. They are mostly made of some type of metal.
