can you measure hex drill bits.

You sure can Judy. The hex shape is for a slip free fit in the drill chuck. It usually has zero to do with the bit size. Whether your bit is a twist or forstner, all measurements should be made at the cutting end of the bit. I use inexpensive calipers (Standard fraction units for fractional bits, Metric for metric bits)purchased at a hardware store. Hardware stores also sell a drill index for checking bit size. It's a flat piece of either steel of plastic with hole punched in it with corresponding size next to the hole. Hope this helps.

Is your question, "can you measure bits that have a quick change shaft?" If so, then yes. It works as a quick check on the diameter of the cutting shaft of the bit. (Note that all bits are marked anyway.) But the real value of the tool is in establishing and maintaining an accurate right angle when drilling.

I'm sorry I know about numbered bits, American Standard and metric. But, what are hex bits?

Not sure what you mean. A "hex" drill bit, just references the part of the drill bit (shank) that is held by the tool or drill and is usually has flat sides rather than the traditional "round" shank held by the tool or drill. "Hex" is short for hexagon or six sided which in this case the shank held by the tool is 6 sided. Why a hex shank, supposedly it can be held more secure by the jaws of a drill and less likely to slip. On some tools the attachment part is made to make for faster attaching of tool .ie, drill bit, screw driver bit, etc.

There is a nice table in the Helicoil catalog here http://www.helicoil.in/pdf/HeliCoil%20Catalogue.pdf, but to answer your question you use a size Q (0.3320") drill bit.

Both are 1/4 inch. This Drill does not have a traditional adjustable chuck. 1/4 inch hex bits like an impact driver. You will likely need to buy a drill bit set for it. There is a different set available if you want the adjustable chuck. The drill is a little larger, but still quite small.

No. You cant use drill bits. Just the drivers that come with it or similar drivers.

You can search Amazon for "hex drive drill bits"Here's a couple of Amazon links:Tooluxe® 10171L 1/4-inch Hex Shank Drill Bit Set with Quick Change Design, Titanium Coated Steel | 13-Piece SetDEWALT DW2551 6 Piece 1/16-Inch to 1/4-Inch Hex Shank Twist Drill Assortment

It will work with rapid-load (hex-shaft) drill bits, or you can get a rapid-load to chuck adapter to use "standard" round shafted bits in it.

I have a set of STANLEY quick release drill bits that I use. They fit like they were made for the DeWalt. They fit snugly and lock just like a screwdriver bit. They have a 1/4" hex shank.

Yes I have hex keys that fit in my drill and they work great, just use a low speed.

Not sure, I actually never thought about that, but will try to see if this tool will hold a drill bit?.

I have a regular Ryobi drill and it works great(not impact). It uses a 1/4" hex bit

No. But some are sold as kits w a bolt handle, tap, and drill bit. Hex receivers are easier to tap then rounded.

you will have to put a reducer on the bits as they are primarily hex shaft 1/4 inch. I would suggest getting a drill driver and save the hassle.

No, they are definitely NOT hex shank bits. They must be put in a Jacobs chuck. The larger bits have three flats on the shank to inhibit slippage in the chuck, but these are not designed for use in a ", "snap in" hex chuck.

You can use any 1/4" hex bits with this drill as they will fit into the snub nose that is part of the drill. Only the Festool bits will fit into some of the accessories. No matter what, get the drill set. You will not be disappointed.

it takes hex bits only, i think you need to get a chuck with a hex end in order to use round bits.
1648378
Technically yes, drill bits with hex ends are available, that's all you can use. The speed however of the driver is pretty slow for drilling

Yes you can use regular hex bits in this extension.it has a notch in it to accept the leather man bits that are flat. Those bits are a must have for the leatherman as well. I use them and the extension constantly.
