I'd like to use this tool as a drill. What is the widest drill bit which I can use with this tool?

An 1/8th inch bit is the biggest you will be able to use and that will just barely 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

You can, its a standard quarter inch hex spindle. and Dewalt and others make a quick change chuck that snaps right into that spindle. But, there is a full range of quick change bits including spades and small forstners. You shouldn't need a conventional chuck for 95 percent of what you would encounter. It is a pretty good drill with excellent power. It does very well in wood. Remember that this tool is an impact and if it gets in a real bind will start to hammer. Shouldn't be a problem in most of what you would see.

You can use any drill bit that has a 1/4" hex shank. Amazon has many different brands for sale. Go to the Amazon search engine, scroll down to tools & home improvement. Key in (drill bits with 1/4" shank) and a wide selection of bits will come up. Any questions, you can contact Dewalt at 800 4dewalt. Good luck

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.

I suppose you could put a screwdriver bit in this drill, but that is not what is meant for. It is so powerful that I think it would cause more harm than good. Better off having an inexpensive electric screwdriver to complement this drill in my opinion.

You cannot use this as a drill, it does not have a built in chuck you can adjust for different bit sized and does not turn fast enough.

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.

This drill will use any standard drill bit. Also, there are no bits included with the drill.

I doubt it. The bit surfaces are too large. There are probably specialized products for those small applications or you might be better off using a thin reverse drill bit.

that cant be depth. i have drilled a lot deeper. you can drill as long as the drill bit is. maybe that is supposed to be for diameter but i have used 1/2" bits. hope that helps

When I use a 2" hole saw, it seems to lack power, I have used a 9/16th's forstner drill bit and it worked well. I have worked with red oak.

Hi, Linda!Not sure if this will meet your needs, but I really haven't seen anything that would be better. If you have a way of holding the bead steady (perhaps a small vise) and a small enough bit, this should work. Because it is a hand drill, you can control the speed and depth of the hole. The only other suggestion I have might be a dremel tool. Note that the tool itself is smaller than a power drill, but not tiny. I think it will handle the smaller bits okay, though.

Yes, I would thing if you fine a Jacob chuck you can use large size bitts, or drivers. I wouldn't go above 1/4 in metal or 3/4" in wood. Another drill to look at is the Festool CSX drill kit, it gives you several options.. but The Bosch is a great go to drill. Battery will last and last.

Hello Bradley,Yes. This drill doesn't require a specific type of bit. Hope that helps!

The drive shaft of this drill is hex based only. If u have a hex attachment for a socket set you could probably use the drill for low torque type work, but otherwise this drill is primarily a power screwdriver.

This is a quality machine that I use for woodworking. I have drilled a variety of holes with brad-point, Forstner, and twist bits with success. I have not measured the runout since all of my results have so far been satisfactory. The smallest diameter bit I use is a 1/16" twist bit which is held securely.
