No instructions! What size drill bit do I need?

Karen, I used a 5/16" drill bit and haven't had any problems with them leaking. I used them with a 3 gallon plastic bucket and didn't need any plumbing tape. I tried tape with the first one, but it just scraped off, so I tried it without and it works perfectly!

I used a 5/16 drill bit and a 1/8th inch pipe thread tap to get the threads started, do not thread the tap in to deep just about 3 threads that way the hole won't be to big. I am sure their are other ways to do it, this is what works for me.

I just overlayed the threadded end of the nipple with drill bits until I found one that was about 1/32 of an inch narrower than the threads

5/16th drill bit, silicone caulk and plumbers tape. 10 chickens, no problems.

For the Screw-in style nipple I used a regular paint type bucket (never used) and an 11/32 inch bit worked perfectly. I did use Teflon tape also as a precaution. If you use PVC you need a 5/16 inch bit and again use Teflon tape for a good seal. Silicone sealant has been used by some people if the tape doesn't give a full seal. Hope this helps.

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!

I drilled it with a "r" drill and used a 1/8 27 nptf tap to thread the 2 inch PVC pipe I screwed them into

i used the 5/16 bit and then used a deep socket 15mm attached to a power drill (with a spacer in the deep socket to keep pressure) and went slow. They drove in fine and no leaks. Wonderful.

It does come with instructions but does not say what size drill bit. But once you see the size of the screw you would just need to get a drill bit slightly larger.

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

Mine did not come with a drill bit either. I paid $10 for one at a local hardware store.

I measured 1.25...but what is important to understand is....Why do you care??? You will NOT be able to use any of the bits you have if they did not come with this unit. It is not the size but the way the bits are machined that make it specific ONLY to this tool. For the price you can't beat it..but don't expect to just use your other bits or just go to Home Desperate and find a replacement bit. It ain't gonna happen.

Mine came without directions as well. I would like to know what size bit for the drywall hangers too!

I'm used a drill bit that came in a Dewalt drill bit set...nothing unusual. Perhaps you have different screws.Sorry can't help you more.

Oh boy! I have no idea. I bought this for my boyfriend with specific instructions! I'm sorry I can't be much help, tools are not my thing! Good luck to you.

It came with only one standard phillips drill bit that is stored in the side of the hand base. You'll need to provide your own drill bits. Good luck.

use a 1/4'' drill bit, then a 1'' uni-bit to ream 3/4'' hole. it leaves less material to file for fine adjustment if needed

I believe it takes up to 1/4 inch bit. Anything larger than that , I'd use a power drill.

Use the hammer drill. Start with a bit one size smaller than what you need.

Yes tough you'll need a drill bit since this comes only with the dual drill bit.

Under the black thumb screw on the bar is a pin. The instructions tell you what size hole to drill, and how to set your cutting diameter.

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

My husband measured the bit he will be using to drill the holes for my pulls, and he said it takes a 5/32 drill bit, or if you want the hole a little larger, use 11/64 bit size. Hope this helps!

the drill bit size is 31/64 and thats for a healy coil but if you do insterts you could do thick or thin and that would be a different size drill bit and depends on how much room you got to take up. i hope this helps norma
