I know the chuck will go 1/2 inch open. Will it hold tiny drill bits? Like a 20 gauge needle size drill bit?

Yes, the chuck closes fully. I've had no problem using extremely small bits.

If you are asking if the 1/2" is the end that sticks into the drill, then no, the opening is just short of 1/2", but you can find a 1/2" drill BIT for drilling that would fit appropriately into this drill.

It has a Jacobs style chuck that goes down to zero size...I did chuck up a #60 drill bit, slightly over 1mm about the diameter of a paper clip with no problems, however with drill bits this small, this drill is too big, that small of a bit is better suited for the hand held tools as the Dremil style...

This drill bit is built with really good quality. It should work with any 1/2 drill. However, it is the drill usually has too much torque, and hard to control the torque. Using the bit with such drill is easy to hurt the rist. Be very careful with it. I am not recommending it as it is tricky and easy to hurt rist.

Hi Frank, I purchased this as a gift for my husband and I had to purchased a chuck adapter that has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly. It works well for light drilling .I got both at Amazon and got a great deal .My uncle told me about this drill set,because he also has the same one .My husband love his set. So do I. They both won't leave the house with out theirs drill when working on their projects. I did get and extra battery that why you always have a charge. Frank I hope this was helpful.

yes anything with standard chuck should work if the chuck is 3/8 some larger bits might not fit! 1/2 bits probably wont fit!

Yes, the drill bit portion of this assembly is made for a 3/8" chuck or larger.

The bits come in a separate holder. I would not spend the money on this. The chuck is horrible and doesn't hold very well. Go get a decent one at a hobby shop.

it will fit a 3/8 chuck (regular) however you will have a problem keeping the whole thing aligned, and not flying out in a hundred deadly pieces....better to do it by hand?....you're safe if you have a shop drill press

I use it in a 3/8 inch chuck so it should work in 1/2 inch. My 12 volt battery operated drill does not make many holes on one charge. I use a corded drill when near a source of power. Probably not the safest thing to do since ground is moist.

Yes, the 1/2" bit will fit a 3/8" chuck. You should really like this set. Highly recommended. If you will be drilling mostly very strong and thick metal, you might want to look at the Dewalt Cobalt Drill Bit set.

No, 1mm is too small. It does not have a true Jacobs Chuck, it only accepts standard dremmel type bits

The Rikon 30-100 will accept a 1/2 inch drill bit. I am not aware of an adapter to accept larger drill bits.

I used mine to install an above ground hoist on 4 inch steel reinforced concrete floor. It drilled 10 5/8 inch holes with out a problem. I am not sure how much larger bit a 1/2 inch drill will hold but con considerably more.

These will work in drills with three-jawed chucks that will take 1/4" size drill bits.Hope this helps.

Mine came with a 1/4# and does not appear to be able to take the 1/2 inch or industrial bits. It is great for small projects but not larger or more commercialize work. I hope this helps.
