Do regular bits work with the Makita or do I need to buy special bits? The chuck looks different in the pic

They need to be "hex" shanks on the ends that fit into the chuck. Regular drill bits won't work. Makita makes a nice bit set for that tool

It accepts ONLY standard 1/4" hex drive bits. You'll need an adaptor for anything else.

It is a standard 1/4" drive hex bit holder. Pull the collar and push the bit in to lock.

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.

If you bought a Black & Decker LDX112C 12-Volt drill. then you have a keyless chuck. I would definitely buy hex shank drill bits. otherwise the drill bits tend to spin in the chuck. you just can't get the keyless chuck tight enough.

No chuck comes with this. The bit that comes with the Right Angle at attachment can be pushed out from the back to allow to put in a new bit.

It uses special collated screw strips,so I don't think so ,but phone your nearest Makita service centre and check,

Yes. With the proper bit, there is plenty of power to drive and remove screws. Read my comments about the chuck though before you decide to make a purchase. Thanks

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

Must use the 1/4 inch hex head. I bought a set of hex drill bits and they work great. Took a little bit of getting used to as the driver does not bite down like a regular chuck would. But with the quick release right in front of your index finger the hex option is REALLY sweet!

Yes, the things you see in the photo. The bits are not that good so I would recommend you get a few bits meant for manicuring from somewhere else. The drill itself is great for starters though.

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.

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!

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

i believe the makita hr4001c takes sds max bits, so it is not compatible with the sds plus bits in this set.

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.

Yes, you should have no problem using these with a standard drill bit chuck. These are a great value and last longer than I expected.

No, standard bits do not work. Does not have a standard chuck. Only SDS bits fit.

All standard hex bits are compatible, they appear to be the same for all tools. You will have to shop around for a 7mm nut driver, but I am sure you can find one or a set that includes one. -Brad

Dear inquirer. Most of us are using the Makita Blade with the Makita Saw. I find them to make quality products specifically for their own product line. Just be sure to get the correct # of teeth for the intended use. Happy Cutting--Bigfooot
