My Makita holds the smallest bits. Yours may have a problem with the chuck. My chuck loosens if it jumps out of a Phillips Head and vibrates. Given what I expected from Makita and what I got I would give it a "C+" overall.

This is a driver set. You use a drill or cordless screwdriver; there IS an included bit holder for the drill (magnetic). If you don't need a handle, this is the best driver set I've found for electronics work. If you do need one, look to a few of Wiha's other interchangeable sets. I've had them for years, some of the toughest bits on the planet.

Oh Sheila, I am so sorry, it's been years since we purchased the drill bits and they are gone.I'm afraid I do not remember. I would suggest asking a good reliable hardware store person, we used ours in a Dremel.

Try going to You Tube, the have a number of good videos on "How to Remove a Drill Chuck". Good luck, sometimes they can be very stubborn. John B.

I us a very small flat screwdriver that I have in a minature tool kit. Go to bottom corner and gently litil nit snaps loose. Works like a charm.

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

It's probably because you aren't putting the bit in correctly. You have to pull the front tip of drill out a little bit then insert drill bit. Bit will lock in place. If you can't figure it out go see a tool store. Hope this helps

The (lightly magnetic) bits from my older cordless screwdriver fit and stay just fine in this one. Perhaps it is simply a matter of the bits you have. I was missing some bits from my old set, so I bought the Black & Decker 71-081 Double Ended Screwdriving Bit Set, 10-Piece. I figured it was hard to go wrong for $5. As they should, they fit and stay just fine.

The various screwdriver bits are stored on a plastic carrier tree which is hidden inside the handle. When you need to use one, remove the carrier from the driver handle, place the adaptor socket on the drive end of the tool, and place the desired blade / tip into the adaptor. Then you have all the functions of the tool at your hand. The ratchet can be used with each one of the tips on the carrier tree as needed. Same for allof the SAE and metric sockets. I've had my Nebo for about six months and still find it to be the handiest socket set ever!

The bit holder should have a 3/8 female end on one side that fits onto the driver. The other end should accept the bits in the kit. I checked mine and it does look kinda round but the bits fit snugly inside and requires a little effort to fully seat the bit in the holder.

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.

The bits are held in place by a magnet in the handle. The handle actually has two places where you can use bits. There is a fixed, non-ratcheting magnet on the longer end of the handle (the end of the handle closest to the "T" in Dewalt), and then the silver ratcheting collar also has a magnet for bits. You can use the ratchet feature in forward, reverse and neutral by rotating the silver ratchet collar.

My original screwdriver kit contained an adapter that slides in and has a hex end that takes my regular 1/4" drive bits. That said, without the adapter the drive bits do fit, they just are very short when seated. The new drill comes with a nice assortment of drive bits that work without an adapter also. Hope this helps.

Take drill bits with square ends to lock in chuck. Straight bits will not work

I have a standard household type cordless drill. It's 3/8 chuck. It didn't work, and so I either had to return it or buy a new drill. I didn't feel like buying a new drill. I returned it and I'll get something smaller. Unless you are sure you have a heavy-duty type drill, check it before you order this.

I have used "Round End" bits for drilling. Usually, "Hex End" for driving screws.
