Can this be used as a lightweight drill with the right bits? Thanks!

for a modeller they are great just be aware that for timbers metal they don't have the torque, platics balsa vinyl are good, the light is handy if your sight isn't the best

Yes, those bits will work in this screwdriver. The screwdriver comes with a flathead screw bit and a phillipshead screw bit.No. This is a relatively low RPM screwdriver and is not intended for drilling. It may drill holes in thin soft wood with the second set of bits you identified, but I would not expect to have satisfactory performance since it is really a screwdriver, not an electric drill.

All I can say is that I do not use this for drilling, I only use it as a screw driver. I would contact DeWalt and ask them any questions you may have such as if it is possible to use it for that purpose.

You should be fine. Remember to hold on tight - it can wrench the drill if you hit a root ~ go slowly.

It is a good portable drill, but I don't think it would be considered HEAVY DUTY !!!

No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

I would not advise using this item with a std drill. While the weight balance is appropriate for its intended use, if the any part of the attachment configuration was to bend, the tool is aggressive enough to cause harm. Frankly, asking this question indicates caution on your part and my recommendation that you've not yet learned the hazards of the processes you hope to attempt.

Yes it can, with the right bit. I would start from the top with a carbide tip drill.

There was not bit included with the drill, so I cannot say. One should make sure that very small bits are available.

I have only used this with my cordless drill, but I see no reason it couldnt be used with an impact. It seems to be sturdy enough, and I have had no problems with it thus far.

You could, with a very small electric drill. My son does but remember, the bits (etc) are not made for this type of use. One has to be very careful. I hope that helps.

If you get the little bits with the hex base. Only in softer materials like wood or plastic. The rpm is slow for a drill.. So for just a few instead of getting out the drill it may work.

Yes, easily done as long as you have the quick load ends with your drill set. A regular drill will not work as there is no way for the bit to stay in the drill. Not sure you are familiar with the quick load items but they are the type that get inserted into your drill without a need to tighten anything. Most of your different screw tips have this feature also. If your drill bits are not this type, a set can be purchased from Amazon at a very reasonable price.

I measured the chuck to be 15/16" of an inch. It is not a heavy duty chuck. I tried it in an impact driver and it locked up. I had to use a pair of pliers to open it. So much for it being keyless. I would think it would be okay for light duty.

I believe is drill would not be the one for that small of a bit, you may need to go to a flex drive with a stationary mount motor so you don't have to hold so much I your hand to control such a fragil bit.

I have never tried that with this drill, but from past experience, you need a hammer drill, or a box full of masonry bits because they will keep breaking.

Not really, it works great as a drill. It doesn't have anything to limit Torque, so using it with screws is not ideal
