What is the smallest drill bit it can handle?

I think it will go as small as you need. the blades of the chuck are touching right to the point

It has a Jacobs style chuck that goes down to zero size...I did chuck up a #60 drill bit, slightly over 1mm about the diameter of a paper clip with no problems, however with drill bits this small, this drill is too big, that small of a bit is better suited for the hand held tools as the Dremil style...

Agree with the other answers, the right angle drill attachment can handle much more torque than the offset screwdriver head - 235 lbs vs 100. Steel gears and ball bearings vs just gears. The description says good for drilling smaller holes. I don't know what "smaller" is but I used it to drill with a 3/4" spade bit, no problems.

if i was going to try i would get a separate set of just drill bits, anything steel alloy seems to get good ratings, and i would drill a hole before running these through something that thick, one inch would be about the max, since the bits are only a few inches long and the threading teeth start about a half inch in. Just keep in mind any expensive small drill bits will still break if you don't take your time working with metal.

I have a regular Ryobi drill and it works great(not impact). It uses a 1/4" hex bit

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.

This is a very special bit, it is not part of the bit selection which comes with the drill. You can find it at http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/71206916 (as an example, other places online would probably have them)

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.

Hi. I use several small wire twist bits, smallest is probably around a .041". I just checked and the chuck closes down to tight, so I expect it will securely hold even the smallest sizes. Only problem (if it could be considered a problem) is I need to snip off about 3/4" of the drill bit shank for the bit to fit as far up in the chuck as I need it to. The holes I drill are less than 1/4" deep so I need for most of the bit to fit up inside the chuck, but it's not a big deal to use a pair of stout diagonal pliers to cut them off. It's a cheaply made drill but has served the purpose to drill thousands of holes (in wood) since I've had it, and if it suddenly died I'd probably just buy another of the same. Hi.

To my knowledge, it will accept any size drill bit with a hex shank. I don't see how it could be adapted for use with normal, round shank bits. There are adapters for conventional drills to accept hex bits, but it does not work the other way around. I hope this helps and that I understood your question correctly.

There was not bit included with the drill, so I cannot say. One should make sure that very small bits are available.

The micro jig should come with a step drill bit that fits the jig. The larger diameter of the bit is approximately 19/64" and the smaller diameter or pilot hole diameter is approximately 0.170". Kreg sell replacement bits.

Use the hammer drill. Start with a bit one size smaller than what you need.

This drill is awesome for small work, but is not what you are looking for for 1/2" steel.

I believe little bit 1/4 is the Max can take but is very good for the small size.. Thanks for asking .

What ever the SDS MAX bits exist but not more than 1-5/8 drill. Never found a 1 5/8 so 1 1/2 would be the biggest for this unit. Handles any of the SDS MAX hammer bits that I am aware of. I have been drilling using up to 1 1/2 inch drill bits and the pointed and I think its a 1 inch chisel bit in Lava Rock and Love it.

I believe it takes up to 1/4 inch bit. Anything larger than that , I'd use a power drill.
