I want to use a drill to plant flower bulbs. I need to purchase a drill with a 3/8 inch or larger chuck. What's a chuck? Is it 3/8" or larger?

Hi a chuck is the clamp that holds the drill bit. If you look at the picture, the chuch is the black clamp which allows you to insert the drill bit.

Chuck size is the adjustable opening at the end for the bit. This drill has a 3/8" chuck size capability, so you would be OK.

Actually the chuck is the size of the drill bit your drill will hold. You open the chuck to change the drill bit. This drill will hold a 3/8" drill bit very easily. It comes with some bits. You can then purchase additional size bits that do not come with it.

I use with a 3/8th inch drill. It does not fit perfectly. I think it would fit either one but has a square neck and I have to stop and tighten every now and then. I use it to mix clay and when it is working, it does a great job. Actually, don't think it fits either. I do like mine but wish it was a better fit.

Does not have chuck. It uses "rapid load, speed load, etc) bits. So, it depends on the adapter but not made for larger than I'd say 1/4'' in my opinion. I use it for quick light drilling but mostly as a very handy power screwdriver with plenty of power for that...

Overall L dim. = 3" Length when placed in drill=21/4" Dia =1" . Great add on chuck good for some tight spots depending on how much space is available to do your project.

According to the 18-900L manual it says "Use drill bits with a shank of 5/8" or less in diameter." So, I guess that makes it a 5/8" chuck.

I'm not familiar with the drill but you just need to know if it is a taper fit and if it is what size this one happens to be a JT33(Jacobs Taper 33) is all that means. So once you find the taper your drill requires then you can decide how large a bit you want it to take ie: 3/4 or 5/8 ths are two popular sizes. Some drills use a threaded chuck so check which yours has and go from there hope this helps !!

I use it in a 3/8 inch chuck so it should work in 1/2 inch. My 12 volt battery operated drill does not make many holes on one charge. I use a corded drill when near a source of power. Probably not the safest thing to do since ground is moist.

The largest drill size in the spec's is 1/4" or 6mm. That size is really too large for the structure of the machine. The spindle runs very true with less than 0.0001" total indicated runout and I tested the chuck with 3 sizes of drill [minimum, 1/8" and 1/4"] and the TIR for all was 0.0032" which is VERY good for a small Jacobs type chuck.

I just use a normal-sized drill and it fits. The auger is really useful for small plants and bulbs. We use a rechargeable drill, and it seems to use a lot of juice, and so we have the back-up battery ready to use when we have lots of bulbs or plants.

I use it with a 3/8" chuck Bosch cordless drill. So both answers are correct. Anything that a 3/8" can handle a 1/2" can too...

The chuck holds 1/16 inch (0,0625) drills securely. So, I suppose that a 2.3 mm (0.23cm or 0.091 inch) drill bit should be held securely by the chuck.

Yes, it will and might even fit a Standard Drill with a 1/4 " chuck. This makes easy work of bulb planting!

It is neither 1/4 nor 3/8, it has a standard hex collet sized to fit the usual interchangeable screwdriver bits. You can get a chuck that has a hex shank or drill bits with hex shanks, your choice, but there is neither chuck nor bits included with this tool. There are two batteries and a charger included, though.

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.

Thank you for your question. The tools in the CLPK234-181L will not work for drilling 3 inch holes. The maximum size is 2" for our cordless tools. A corded drill would be the best for drilling 3 inch holes. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

The end of the shaft will fit into a 3/8 inch chuck. But I would not recommend using a cordless drill, unless the material you want to mix is very thin. For sand, cement, plaster, concrete, and similar materials, you should use a heavy-duty 1/2 inch corded drill on slow speed.

It will go the seven inches. The weakness is that the drill shaft is smooth so you need a good drill chuck to keep a grip on the auger if you are drilling into a hard soil. If working in hard soil you probably will have to just keep tightening the drill chuck. I use this with an 18v 3/8" drill which works well also with a 1/2" electric. I also have the 24" that I use exclusively with the 1/2", but it also has a better gripping shaft end. As with Susan I planted about 100 bulbs in a relatively short time, but in clay/rocky soil. But I recommend, if you have a heavy duty 1/2" drill is get the 24" and save bend over strain. It will go the seven inches.
