Help a new DIYer please. Someone sort of asked this above but I don't understand. What do "normal" drill bits mean? Is there a starter kit I can buy with bits and drivers? Thanks!

A normal bit has a round shank, some hammer drills take bits with a square shank or with a flat side. This drill accepts round drill bits. So it can be used for normal drilling/driving also.

Hi Dhyana, from the previous answers, "normal" drill bits mean the standard, round drill bits. I think the asker wanted to make sure the drill isn't limited to hex-end bits, since there are drill bits available with a 1/4" hex end, so they can be swapped quickly with a driver bit.Yes, there are definitely kits of drills and drivers you can buy. I bought something very close to this Dewalt set DEWALT DW2587 80-Piece Professional Drilling/Driving Set but mine has a few spade bits for boring out larger holes in wood. Welcome to the DIY world - there's little that's more satisfying than fixing something yourself, or making exactly what you want.

I don't know what "normal" means. Drill bits can be bought in sets. A typical set of bits with english sizes would cover from 1/16" to 1/2" by 64ths inch. For a 3/8" drill you would want a set whose shanks are "cut down" over 3/8ths inch i.e. the upper part of the shank is no more than 3/8" in diameter. The set should at least be of HS (high speed) steel. Some sets may come in fancier steels or in a coated steel for better handling of some metals. For example, stainless steels tend to be very hard and tough and drilling such a steel of some thickness can require bits of a harder steel. If you are going to be working with softer steels or other metals (bronze, aluminum, etc.) HS bits will be OK. There are also sets of screw drivers bits, generally less expensive than drill bits. They are not intended to be used at high speeds.

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

No u do not need anything else it comes with the drill and all the bits you need for it. I know alot of the reviews about this item are not that great but I use mine all the time and have had no issues with it I love it! I how this helps

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

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 the size that comes with it and nothing else. I ruined my old one by using one that was a different size. Mine came with plenty of bits so I just stick with mine now. Oh BTY I LOVE MY DRILL!!! :-) It's wonderful!

tony c. all dewalt fac. reconstructe. drills are very clearly marked, with various labels. refur, and a code which identify it as fully reconstructed [dewalt does not repear the problem. they open it and replace the etire iner components. alsow bits are sold separetly [dont recomend dellat bids] unless willing to invest on theyr titanium daimond tip. line. from $22 to $170 per bit.

This package comes with the drill, impact driver, batteries, charger, and bag. No drill bits or screw driver bits. I bought a Dewalt combination drill, driver set on Amazon. Cheaper than I could purchase it at the local merchant.

No screw driver bits in this set. There are multiple bits for often used sizes, which is great.

The first thing I would recommend you doing is looking a video up on YouTube, but I'll also try to help you out! Pick up and hold the drill in the palm of your hand, you'll then notice that if you press the bit against a surface you can spin the drill and it becomes "free-moving". By applying pressure and spinning the drill with your fingers, it'll start drilling through the material. Hope that helps!

No Drill or drill bits. This is tools like wrenches, screw drivers, pliers, etc.

The driver takes 1/4" bits so it will take any sized drills that have a 1/4" shank. I have up to 2 1/2" wood bits with 1/4" shanks that can be used in this driver but I don't know that I would. You can also purchase a 1/4" drill chuck that will take any size drill bit; this tool will then be limited only by what size drill the chuck can handle. I have drilled 1/2" holes in wood with this driver but with anything larger, I wouldn't be using this driver anyway. I would switch over to a 120v electric drill. So, I guess it really boils down to what you plan to do with this driver. I use it for screws most all of the time but if I need to drill some holes it will do the job very nicely. For larger holes use larger tools. Hope this helps.

you have to buy the bits. there are so many kinds of bits it would cost more for all the different bits than the drill itself, so, accordingly, they are extra.

A really great answer to the screw issue is to have an older, battery powered drill for use as a driver. This way, you don't have to keep changing bits. I keep my old B&D; 12V for just that. Drill the holes with the Dewalt, drive the screws with the battery powered drill. Saves a lot of time. BUT, if you're going to do big lag bolt driving, I'd get a dedicated driver. Otherwise, you'll burn up your drills or hurt your arms.

I don't know what that means. I just used it as I would a regular drill bit, not 1/2' if that is what you mean.

That type of bit screw driver should be available at most hardware stores but you probably will end up buying one with bits. Good to have extra anyhow!

how do u change drill or drill bits...for drill bits.. you have to hold the silver botton down and twist where the drill bit goes. when the bit is off you have to do the something to put it on.

I myself would not use these Dremel bits with a drill. They weren't made or intended for a drill. Otherwise I think that is how they would advertise. These bits and a drill, electric or battery....I think is a bad idea. Get a real Dremel tool. Save yourself a lot of hassles or unforeseen accedent in the end. Thx SF-P
