What is a good brand of drill to use with this? We only have a basic Black and Decker, which I don't think will work.

Actually, any quality brand will do. I use an 18v Dewalt cordless driver as well as a Dewalt power drill. If you choose a cordless, make sure you have one or two replacement batteries on hand. They will lose their charge relatively quickly and will have to be recharged.

I have a dewalt drill but I think any drill will work. The drill brush is just an attachment like any other. I would try your drill first, I don't see it bring a problem.

If you intend to scrub grout hard, then you will probably need a two speed cordless or a variable speed corded drill. Speed is not as important as torque.

I have a basic Black & Decker & it works great with both brush heads. I have had no problems with my drill using the brushes.

Hi Frank, I purchased this as a gift for my husband and I had to purchased a chuck adapter that has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly. It works well for light drilling .I got both at Amazon and got a great deal .My uncle told me about this drill set,because he also has the same one .My husband love his set. So do I. They both won't leave the house with out theirs drill when working on their projects. I did get and extra battery that why you always have a charge. Frank I hope this was helpful.

This may work better with the drill 995/driver 886 than it did for me. I would make sure I read everything completely. Let me know how it works.

Buy the Black & Decker BDCDMT120 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Matrix Cordless Drill instead - much more versatile and cheaper as well. I bought this Black & Decker LD120VA 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver with 30 Accessories and sold it after I realized all the tools included were junky versions of things I already had. You can buy these accessories for very little money on Black Friday or even regular pricing at local stores. This enclosure is just an empty shell and the drill motor had no supports or way of organizing anything. Your charger and drill motor are free to slide around inside along with whatever else you decide to throw in there.

Tried it in my B&D; cordless and they work. Awfully big drill for this small tool. Works better in a Dremel or similar.

Unfortunately, it was purchased as a gift and I do not have the answers to this question. I would check with black & decker.

Even with the new batteries, sometimes it does not work to the minimum required expectation. From your question, I could guess that you want to use this product for some minimum power required DIY works. This Product does not suit at all. Go for any ordinary Drilling Machine from Bush or the same manufacturer Black and Decker. I own a Drilling machine from Black and Decker, ordinary type. It is quite Powerful and can be used for Concrete Drilling also with Hammer Mode. It is not costly and can be used for all the drilling purposes.

Yes, I have a black and decker with a 3/8" chuck and works great. I have little to no wood working skills and this tool made me feel like a pro. Great choice, have fun!

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.

Actually Black and Decker has a set of blades you can buy rather inexpensive that works great. It is a very good deal. Usually if a blade has a lot of teeth it is for metal. Blades for wood usually has less teeth with a wider gap between them.

You use an electric drill. It works better with a corded drill. A cordless battery goes dead too soon.

your dewalt is a sds hammer drill, any sds bits chiesels etc will work. any make just make sure they are sds, will work

Yes I believe that is the same drill as my own and it works perfect. I imagine all black and Decker products are generally standard to one basic charger. Hope everything works out for you! Best of luck=D

I bought that battery and I'm using the Black & Decker BDFC240 charger. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00362FFUE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is working well for me. I don't have your drill, but I use this battery for a B&D weed whacker and a hedge trimmer.

You can use any drill bit that has a 1/4" hex shank. Amazon has many different brands for sale. Go to the Amazon search engine, scroll down to tools & home improvement. Key in (drill bits with 1/4" shank) and a wide selection of bits will come up. Any questions, you can contact Dewalt at 800 4dewalt. Good luck

I do not know since I bought it for a hand held application and I do not have that type of drill. Sorry.

You need to use Delta mortise/drill sets. Off brands won't fit. I had this for a few years and sold it along with all the chisels because of many problems, chisel size being one. I sold it and went to General International. Much better tool, fewer problems and more features, like a tilting head. Highly recommended by Fine Woodworking magazine. Delta used to be good but then they got bought out. The other problem this creates is that you can no longer find factory service people in the States (at least in the Midwest). I have a Delta planer, joiner, and Unisaw. I like them but can't get service. Even letters to the company president were never answered. Go with General. You will be happier. Capn John
