Do these accept regular round drill bits? How, without a chuck?
484813
No, I am not aware of being able to use these with round bits...only the lock-in hex style bits.
484814
No, you need the hex. locking type. The round one just spin around and slip and slide. I thought I'd read that you couldn't use the hex kind but it is wrong. Don't need a chuck. hope that is helpful. I know little about drills but am learning. Drove me batty at first trying to figure out what they were talking about but nice drills Just buy or use the hex type.

No they don't, they have hex openings. No way to use round bits without an adapter.

Hi Frank,They do not accept regular drill bits. There are bits available that can fit but have to have a special 1/4 inch "shank".I purchased a chuck adapter that has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly. It works well for light drilling, and can be purchased on Amazon separately or in a kit (Bosch-CC2130) called "clic change". It also comes with a few bits.Hope this helps

No, they only accept 1/4 inch hex driven drill bits or screw driver bits. If you look on amazon or in home depot or anywhere that sells tools for the most part they will have them, I think bosch calls it "clic-change".

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.

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

Thanks, your answers are all appreciated. Now I must decide whether or it's worthwhile to buy this and have to buy all new drill bits or go with a conventional model that accepts all the bits I already own.

Do you actually own this drill?No, you can't just use any drill bit. You must use a drill bit that has a 1/4" hex shank base. DeWALT/Amazon sells these drill types individually or in sets with a case. Here is a link to a DeWALT starter set. DEWALT DW2521 28-Piece Rapid Load Set DEWALT DW2521 28-Piece Rapid Load Set

No. they require an SDS+ chuck which the PS41B does not have. For light duty work, try http://www.amazon.com/Greenlee-MAS-SET-9-Quick-Change-Masonry/dp/B005NN93G6/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1408574063&sr=8-10&keywords=1%2F4%22+hex+masonry+bits.

yes anything with standard chuck should work if the chuck is 3/8 some larger bits might not fit! 1/2 bits probably wont fit!

Yes, you need to buy 1/4" hex shank drill bits. I believe dewalt has a 22 piece bit bid for around $19. The impact driver will drill holes but it's not what it's best at. Better off getting the drill/driver & impact combo

It's a regular 1/2 chuck that is keyless. It will take all bits up to 1/2". Hex shank is better cause they won't slip as round shank will but all will work. Very good drill compared to the old DeWalt 18v I had. Strongly recommend

Yes, there are drill bits that come with hex connections; it's not heavy duty but I use it for pilot holes and such
2144390
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

This wont take regular round shaft drill. It will take any driver or drill with the standard Hexagonal base.

This unit does not have a drill chuck. But it can use drill bits that have a 1/4" shank at the base of the drill.

Kind of... You need special drill bit that fits the drill. Bits come in various sizes, but they must have a hex end to fit in the "chuck". You can buy the special bit at most home improvement stores.

These Irwin drill bits are definitely not impact bits. They are for a regular cordless drill.

No. they require an SDS+ chuck which the PS41B does not have. For light duty work, try Greenlee MAS-SET-9 Hex Quick Change Masonry Bit Kit

Perhpas, but you need the spindle that these slide onto to clamp into the chuck. Found one on Amazon after some searching.

I can use all the bits I have including my cheap unknown brand cordless drill. I haven't found any that doesn't fit, but I don't have very many different brands. Hope that helps!

This accessory accepts hex bits and has a hex shank. As such, it requires hex shank drill bits (not ordinary cylinder shaped drill bits. However, just about any drill can accept this accessory.

The drill bits are not marked for diameter size in any way. Not is the diameter sizes marked on the packaging. I just go by a visual for size needed.
