Does this work with hex shank bits? Just opened mine, read the manual cover to cover. Chuck seems to hold a hex, but please answer only if you've done

Yes. The collet grips the bit out near the tip. The only issue would be very short bits with a hex base...if there is a such thing. Standard bits like in the set you buy at Home Depot or Harbor Freight with the hex base so they can be swapped out in a screw-shooter...no problem. In any case, buy the one with the 3/4" collet. Costs more now, but saves in the long run.

this tool is used only with bits with a 1/4" hex shank. The sleeve on the hex chuck of the driver is pulled forward (away from the driver body) to release a bit or to allow a bit to be inserted into the hex chuck.

I have a set of STANLEY quick release drill bits that I use. They fit like they were made for the DeWalt. They fit snugly and lock just like a screwdriver bit. They have a 1/4" hex shank.

SDS Plus shank bits... you will also see a "Jacobs" type chuck with an SDS Plus shank that allows use of any size bit but only for drilling... "Jacobs" type chucks will always loosen their hold on a bit when in hammer mode... always! I use this dril in working my gold mine both to loosen up dirt with rocks and in drilling rock for breaking. The drill pulls a 36" bit but in rock I have limited depth to 10 inches.

No. These shanks are straight shanks that must be held either with a magnetic socket or clamped and held with the chuck on your drill. I have seen shanks that have a small ball on the side of the shank, made like an extension on mechanic socket sets. But these shanks are not made that way.

Not sure what it is you have. I have a 1/4" hex on my cordless driver. If your cordless screw driver does not have a chuck and it is 1/4", thes bits will work. You can go to Home Depot, Lowes or even Wal Mart and look at their 1/4" hex bits and see if you think they will fit in your screw driver then take it from there.

Hi Jim.I'm not sure what is "standard hex bits"..., butI have 2 other sets of hex bits (from my old screwdrivers) and all of them has the same size and fits exact to this model too.Roman.

No. only accepts 1/4" hex shaft bits...I use it with a set of cheap adapters also from amazon which allow me to use all of my smaller 1/4" and 3/8" drive sockets with it.

You see I'm not really sure. Another Amazon person said it does not have a chuck key. I don't know muchabout drills. My husband has an older drill. Maybe you can find a review on Utube? Sorry. I sent the pinkdrill back.

Ok, so the problem is that the top teeth of the chuck is clamped shut and the previously mentioned trick of screwing it down (righty tighty) on the dremel shaft then loosening by twisting (lefty loosey) doesn't open the chuck teeth, it just removes the whole chuck back off the base. SO, with the chuck in your hand, put a very small drill bit in through the bottom of the chuck so it bumps up against the bottom of the tooth mechanism. I just tapped the drill bit with a hammer and the teeth sprang open!

Does not have chuck. It uses "rapid load, speed load, etc) bits. So, it depends on the adapter but not made for larger than I'd say 1/4'' in my opinion. I use it for quick light drilling but mostly as a very handy power screwdriver with plenty of power for that...

I have the same problem albeit - using the drill the one time I tested it out, the bit didn't come out. I don't think your doing anything wrong - I'm guessing its something in the design. I will admit though - being able to just pull the bit out, does make me a little uncomfortable.

its not a bad design, i have a 795 and had the same problem when i first used it. the chuck has an unusual dubble locking action. close the chuck down on the bit when it stops, grab the black nurled chuck and twist it clockwise again, u will hear a clicking sound as it wratchets down till it locks again, and then the bit wont fall out

Yes--will fit any drill--from adjustable chuck---to hex, quick release chuck--that is their design for hex quick release---even fit a nut driver and screwdriver bit adapter---mine work fit and look to be very durable, very glad to have them!!!JLF

No, they are definitely NOT hex shank bits. They must be put in a Jacobs chuck. The larger bits have three flats on the shank to inhibit slippage in the chuck, but these are not designed for use in a ", "snap in" hex chuck.

it takes hex bits only, i think you need to get a chuck with a hex end in order to use round bits.
