I have been using the drill bits with standard 1/2 " drills and am very happy with the set.

I use them all the time with my cordless drill . Works great for light duty jobs.

These are good for wood, or light gauge sheet metal. Impact bits go into a rotary hammer for concrete and masonry, they generally have carbide tips. Dale

I use them with a cordless drill. I chose the 1/4" heads because when I hand tightened regular round drills, they tended to twist and slip. With the square heads the problem is solved.

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

you can use as impact on smaller fasteners/screws. the hammer drill part is for use in masonry applications w/ masonry drill bits. depends on what your application is going to be. If you do not plan on using the hammer drill option, I would consider the regular drill or drill driver. I bought mine to use as a hammer drill only. Hope this helps, good luck

It has a 1/4 inch hex tip mail that will lock into any standard impact or drill. The other end has a 1/4 spring loaded locking hex female to hold any of your 1/4" bits. I have 3 sizes and find them very handy. If they ever wear out I would definitely replace them. I have had them about a year and a half and use them at least once a week. It's a keeper and really quite cheap.

Mitch - I'd stay away from a hammer drill. This unit has a light-weight main shaft designed to fit 1/4" hex chucks like from a 18v 1/4" impact driver. However, it's beefy enough that I had no problem using it in the 1/2" Jacobs chuck in my drill press. I needed a smaller diameter chuck for a project I was working on and it worked like a charm. The hex-shaft design extends its utility so it can be used in many applications. It's a very flexible design - and a useful addition to any workshop.

This Drill has a standard 3 jaw keyless chuck and will support any round or Hex shaped tool designed to be used n a drill / Driver power tool. I recommend you Buy a set of Hex tool driver bits & magnetic tool extension tip. Standard hand Hex wrench / tools are bent at a 90 degrees to give leverage when used by hand and will not work in a Drill / Driver with out being modified / cut. It is better just to buy a set of Hex driver bits for driving screws.

These are standard jobber drill bits. The shank is the same size as the flute part of the drill. The shank is also smooth. It just depends on how small the chuck can close down to. Some 1/2" drill chucks will not clamp down on the smallest of bits but the limit is whatever size the chuck will tighten to, will determine what the smallest drill bit you will be able to use. ... P.S. Okay after a little checking. This has a 1/4" hex socket probably with a magnet in the bottom of the socket to hold the screwdriver tip or special drill bit in the socket. These drill bits have a smooth shaft the same diameter as the drill therefore these will NOT work with this screwdriver unless you have a separate chuck with a 1/4" hex shaft to insert in the socket on the screwdriver.

I have several sizes of this Titan and have used them singly and together, but I have not used used them with my impact drill. I would be interested in hearing about they hold up.

We have owned three of them. They work great with a cordless drill. We hooked it up to an electric drill and it broke. We think the electric drill was too powerful. Not for sure tough. They are mostly made of some type of metal.

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.

No. They are hex shaped; however they do not have the notch on the lower part of the shank. They may fit into the port on the driver, but they would not lock into place. Also these masonry bits and should not be used with an impact style drill. They should only be used with something designed for masonry or has a hammer drill setting.

Don't know, all I have ever used are drill bits and these are the best, I broke one the other day but, that was my fault, wasn't holding the drill right which put the bit in a bind and in turn broke the bit, great set of bits! I would recommend them anytime!

Yes, but so can any but the worst of cordless drills. As Kendal mentioned you either want a special bit, and/OR to fasten the work down and be careful.

If you use one of the smaller drill bits and don't have to do more than one hole. Otherwise get a bigger drill. I use mine mostly for pilot holes, but then again I have other drills. The advantage of this drill is that it is cordless and works with regular batteries so you don't have to put up with a cord or an uncharged cordless drill for a small job.

Full time impact... a regular drill this size will NOT drive 3" lag bolts, but this one will with the impact feature. Took some getting used to the impact sounds, but after a year of pretty much daily use on my job I don't even think about it anymore. ;-)

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

I suggest you read the description better and listen to the other answers. These are very small and precise bits not meant for drilling.

I have the tool with the 1/4 impact socket head. If you need to "drill" in very tight spaces, the impact head version may be too large to fit as either an adapter or special drill bits (with 1/4 socket adaption) are required. As others have said, base the decision on what YOUR primary use will be. That said, I may get this version, also. I like the various Makita tools and have several 1.5 and 3.0 batteries.
