Can you use regular drill bit or do you have to use hex based?

The drive shaft of this drill is hex based only. If u have a hex attachment for a socket set you could probably use the drill for low torque type work, but otherwise this drill is primarily a power screwdriver.

Hi Dhyana, from the previous answers, "normal" drill bits mean the standard, round drill bits. I think the asker wanted to make sure the drill isn't limited to hex-end bits, since there are drill bits available with a 1/4" hex end, so they can be swapped quickly with a driver bit.Yes, there are definitely kits of drills and drivers you can buy. I bought something very close to this Dewalt set DEWALT DW2587 80-Piece Professional Drilling/Driving Set but mine has a few spade bits for boring out larger holes in wood. Welcome to the DIY world - there's little that's more satisfying than fixing something yourself, or making exactly what you want.

No, you will need special drill bits for this attachment. 1/4 inch hex drive

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.

Yes tough you'll need a drill bit since this comes only with the dual drill bit.

Regular bits do not work. We bought some hex bits that do fit the Makita. We also bought a chuck that fits the shaft that takes regular bits. The chuck has worked well with the exception of a few problems loosing the keyless chuck that is not an issue with the Makita.

Yes, there are drill bits that come with hex connections; it's not heavy duty but I use it for pilot holes and such

If you buy the bit adapter you can use standard small shank SDS bits. This unit is made for the larger shank bits. I have the adapter but I also use both sizes if bits. It is a great hammer drill. I am a General Contractor and it is a great addition to our work.

Standard 1/4 inch hex shank bit sets are all compatible. They are available from many manufacturers. You dont say if for drilling or driving screws, but this tool is best for driving screws requiring low torque, such as wallplate cover screws and such. Not for drilling.

No. But some are sold as kits w a bolt handle, tap, and drill bit. Hex receivers are easier to tap then rounded.

You can use a regular drill. Just make sure it is tight around shank. For best results use dremel. Anything is possible

My husband measured the bit he will be using to drill the holes for my pulls, and he said it takes a 5/32 drill bit, or if you want the hole a little larger, use 11/64 bit size. Hope this helps!

As previous reply indicates, it doesn't appear so. However the slot for the thumb screw on the end has a socket that accepts any standard hex shaped bit. You just need to fully unscrew the thumb screw to make it accessible.

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.
