How do I get bits that fit this thing?

The bits are called SDS MAX. It refers ro the type of shank on the bit that fits into the drill.

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.

SDS Max bits are available at most big box home improvement stores as well as right here on Amazon.com.

I can get one out of a two piece bit set in the back of the sheath, but with two it's very tight. I opted for a separate bit kit sheath.

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.

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

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.

I would think a Spanner bit would do it, but I'm not sure the size. You could ask Gerber, or just find a hardware store that sells tamper resistant bits.

Just push in bit with some force. It will fit it snuggly. Pull out to remove.

Please see my review (end of May/beginning of June 2013)--I STRONGLY suggest an 11/32" drill bit for the best fit. Other sizes work; however, you may need to adapt the container or your installation process. As everyone else states, it is difficult to get these installed into certain containers & it's worth every penny!

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)

you will have to put a reducer on the bits as they are primarily hex shaft 1/4 inch. I would suggest getting a drill driver and save the hassle.

You're probably going to have to drill it out. I used a 1" bit and that was to small.... I had to round it out with that.... Don't worry about going to big there is a sleeve that covers it.

Not sure what the bits are called but they are not the smallest or biggest. You have to get the ones with the round end and hex shank, they must look just like the picture. I bought extra at Harbor Freight for 15$ and they work great.

I have only had luck using DeWalt bits. I tried some RotoZip bits but they are too big. I haven't tried anything else, so someone but have had better luck with some other bit.

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!

SDS and SDS Plus will both fit but SDS Max bits have a larger diameter for larger drills and will not fit.

Make hole with step drill bit or find a drill bit close enough so it can fit being verry careful then add glue after light is where you want it to be. Thax :) you is the man:)

Assuming you're using the bits that came with drill, they all fit. Did you try opening the top, using the releaser (button on the silver part) and twisting the ridged dial? That will open the top so you can adjust to the stem of the bit... Make sure to secure it tight so it doesn't fly off or get loose during use.
