The attachment head should be square inside and it fits to the drive handles square 3/8 drive head. Looks like you have a defective or used part.

Did you try to put it on? I know it appears to be round, but mine snaps onto the square drive of the tool just fine. Then, each bit can be locked into the opposite end. Hope this helps!

The bit holder should have a 3/8 female end on one side that fits onto the driver. The other end should accept the bits in the kit. I checked mine and it does look kinda round but the bits fit snugly inside and requires a little effort to fully seat the bit in the holder.

The bit sticks out 7/8 of an inch, the total tool is 1 7/8". I'm sure you could get the bit out by pounding it out but it does not appear it just comes out. Hope this helps

Thanks, this is what I thought, but just wanted to see if by chance that the 1/2 inch was abailable. All of my bits are 1/2 inch shank. Thank You Tagwatts1

It's an optional accessory. The parts can be ordered directly from Makita. They waived shipping for my order, so they might do the same for you. I ordered two...just in case.(2) <$1.98> Bit Holder Part # 452947-8(2) <$0.63?> Bit Holder Screw Part # 251314-2My Total w/ Tax: $5.46You'll need both parts- the screw is sold separately from the holder for some strange reason. I just placed my order over the phone for it (1-800-4-MAKITA) and I'll update here once I receive the parts. Scott from Makita indicated that it's a universal fit for their drills, so it might fit other Makitas- just in case anyone is wondering. It's an optional accessory.

Sounds like a design flaw. The square end of the drill bits should fit snugly inside the drill.

Mine did not come with a drive adapter. I don't think it does. I already had the square drive nut from my flex shaft, so I didn't think about it not coming with one. The instructions are a bit deceiving, as it seems to assume you already have the proper adapter, but I don't see where it states that it comes with the mini saw.The screw was in place already. Had to unscrew to install blade.

I had the same problem, so I asked my husband and he was able to push the bit in, and now I'm able to put the other bits in myself. Although it works ok, the bits now come out sometimes when using the drill. Hope this helps.

I ordered each (flush valve and plastic socket wrench adapter) separately from Amazon, but the "little white disc" was out of stock. To my surprise, the disc was included with the flush valve that I purchased, so I cancelled the order for the "little white disc," which supposedly would not arrive for at least a month. It turns out, however, that I was able to use a wide putty knife, which turned out to be precisely the same width as the throat of the flush value, to rotate and remove/replace the flush values, without even using the little white disc. The flush value works perfectly. Took a little time to get the chain set at precisely the right length, but now all works well.Good luck.

By pulling straight out on the bit holder it will release the locking pin. At which point you can install or change your drill bits or drive tools which ever you are using.

My bits don't just fall out, but are easy to pull out, there is a little ball bearing that hold them in, are you missing yours or is it stuck out?

I had the same problem. It's a press fit but very tight. Pull the black tip straight out with a pair of pliers while holding onto the blue part. You'll see the bit is double-ended - just flip it around to use the other end/size and push it in until it clicks into the little slot on the blue handle.

James, you have to twist the middle to open and close the chuck to get the bit in. It's easy and I was a little confused too! Just twist ( I can't remember which way) to open, drop in the bit, and twist opposite to close. Happy filing!

This is a very special bit, it is not part of the bit selection which comes with the drill. You can find it at http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/71206916 (as an example, other places online would probably have them)

Ya, I also received this tool. I have no idea what is this for. If you found out by now, could you please let me know?

I am unaware of any way to use bits on this multi-tool... It did not come with a toolkit or bits and there is no way to attach an extender or bit to the multitool to make it into a bit driver. You just have the tools that fold out of the middle and the pliers.

Nope, it's a blade / flat "micro-sized." In the image of the item look at the upper right portion. That curved bit ends in a small vertical piece. That's the "micro-sized" flat screw driver. It's probably a sixteenth of an inch wide.
