Will this fit in a 3/8 inch chuck or not? Some say "yes" and others say "no"

Yes, it will, but I use a Milwaukee 1/2" chuck drill when cutting a large diameter hole because the 1/2" Milwaukee has a side-handle. If all you have is a 3/8" chuck drill, it will work.

It is neither 1/4 nor 3/8, it has a standard hex collet sized to fit the usual interchangeable screwdriver bits. You can get a chuck that has a hex shank or drill bits with hex shanks, your choice, but there is neither chuck nor bits included with this tool. There are two batteries and a charger included, though.

It will not fit a 3/8 " opening. And the glass jar is a tough one to make the hole larger. You might use a round diamond file to carefully make it larger, safely, but it is risky.

I think that a 1/4" bit will fit into the chuck, but the motor doesn't have the torque to push it through anything harder than wax. This machine is a sweet running little drill press, but it is seriously lacking torque. It is only for drilling very small holes in light or thin material. It took me several minutes to drill a 1/8" hole in 1/4" aluminum. Good machine for what it's made for.

There are different drill bit packagesyou can buy. This will fit most anything youd use. 3/8 is how wide the drill will open to fit bits. By normal they mean your standard bits. So this will fit most of them. Youhave to get pretty big to not fit this which honestly youd need amore powerful drill for those applications anyhow. Hope this helps but if not take a trip to your local Lowes or what have you & ask them what bits & drills will fit a 3/8 driver. You will see it is your standard stuff

You have to buy an insert for it to fit the 1" x 8tpi. Below is the link:1" X 8TPI INSERT FOR NOVA CHUCKS (Most Common)

I have a regular 3/8" chuck with a hex shank that inserts into any hex bit chuck such as the one in this impact driver. I bought at sears about fifteen years ago so they may no longer carry them. An online search for a hex shank 3/8" chuck should get you what you need.

Yes3/8 is correct, but also I use these in larger 1/2 inch drill which has an adjustable chuck, and adjustable drilling speed, which makes the drills last much longer before the need to sharpen.

To answer that question for ANY available drill bit or bit set on the market, you simply need to know the max chuck size for your drill and the shank size of the drill bit. For example if you're drill has a max chuck size of 3/8" then you know that it can accept bits with shanks that are 3/8" or SMALLER. I believe this set is 1/4" shank (from what I get from the limited info in the listing). Since 1/4" is SMALLER than 3/8" (1/4" = 2/8"...2 is smaller than 3) it should fit.

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

I use it with a 3/8" chuck Bosch cordless drill. So both answers are correct. Anything that a 3/8" can handle a 1/2" can too...

It will fit in any 1/2" drill. Should fit in a 3/8" too, but having the power of a 1/2" helps. If you are planning on boring holes to water trees and shrubs, I found that I did not need this to pre-drill hole for the tree root waterer as the stream of water made it's own hole.

Depends on your spindle threads. My chuck came as 1" 8tpi. It also came with a 3/4" adapter

I use with a 3/8th inch drill. It does not fit perfectly. I think it would fit either one but has a square neck and I have to stop and tighten every now and then. I use it to mix clay and when it is working, it does a great job. Actually, don't think it fits either. I do like mine but wish it was a better fit.

If your drill's chuck can accept a 3/8" bit, loosely, then it will accept this quick-change chuck. As you can see, it uses the longer (2"+/-) bits, but that is no problem, as you can find them anywhere. This is the best quick-change chuck, BTW.

You can buy bits that are larger than 3/8 inch that have a 3/8 shank. If you plan to do a lot of drilling with bits larger than 3/8 ", invest in a bigger drill motor. As another reviewer mentioned, the thread count has to match to go to the larger chuck. Also, it is not alwasy easy to remove the original chuck. Make sure you try to remove it before ordering the replacemant, if you wish to go that route.

I use a 3/8" drill bit when drilling my hole. I believe the inside diameter of the hole is the same or very slightly smaller. Hope this helps! :o)
