Do the drill bits just get pushed in the hand piece, or are they locked in so they wont pop out? Thanks

Their just pushed into the machine. no problem with parts falling out iof place.

No, it will not lock in to the drill, but it does fit. I have a De Walt impact hex drill and i use them on it. they don't lock but they don't slide out ether.

Yes, just loosen the hex set screw you can see in the picture to remove the drill. But as with any hole saw, you will have to use a drill press and firmly clamp the material in place. If you use a hand drill, you won't be able to control it precisely and it will tend to walk over the material when it makes contact. After ruining the material, it will try to do the same to your other hand!

This is a *hand* drill set, meaning that your hand provides the twisting action of the drill. Typically you hold the shaft of the handle between the thumb and first two fingers of your right hand (if you are right handed), and the butt of the tool (which twists) presses against the palm of your hand while you twist the shaft. These are really tiny bits, so you have to go very slowly and provide light but even pressure while you twist. Never apply off-axis force or the bits will break. The key is to go very slowly.

Ok, so the problem is that the top teeth of the chuck is clamped shut and the previously mentioned trick of screwing it down (righty tighty) on the dremel shaft then loosening by twisting (lefty loosey) doesn't open the chuck teeth, it just removes the whole chuck back off the base. SO, with the chuck in your hand, put a very small drill bit in through the bottom of the chuck so it bumps up against the bottom of the tooth mechanism. I just tapped the drill bit with a hammer and the teeth sprang open!

It's an all-metal chuck with carbide (machine steel) toothed inserts for actual tool contact. Rather than a continuously ratcheting close, you tighten the chuck down on the tool, and the chuck cams over to a locked position. (Although ratcheting gives you nice feedback about the tightening process, it doesn't necessarily give you a yes/no on when you are truly locked.) Once you've cam-locked, it's neither possible nor necessary to tighten the chuck any further. I have never actually measured the run-out, but it is at least as good as any other drill I have used. A properly seated drill bit, when spun at high speeds, shows a nice narrow profile, with no sign of tip wobble. (This is of course not a really scientific test, as it depends on things like the user's eyesight, etc.) I worry about run-out too, but with a hand-held drill of this quality, the quality of drilling will probably depend at least as much on the operator's ability to hold the tool perfectly steady and drive in a perfectly straight path.

Mike, this tool does keep the bit from pushing through, I have even ground the butts of the bits down to fit in even tighter areas. I love this tool, I am an aircraft mechanic and use it nearly every day.

as, im sure, you can see from the picture it comes with a little box that slides out. The drill does not store the bits. Very Nice Product

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!

I have my drill in its box. I don't see anything regarding bits. It does talk about "Quick Connect System" I suggest you go to the Black and Decker site. Maybe they have this drill with the information you need. I do know that I much prefer an electric drill vs cordless drill.

Hi Karen. Open the chuck and remove the screw in the center of the chuck and then put the allen into the chuck and tighten the chuck. You then lay the drill on a counter and then strike the allen wrench counter clockwise, the chuck and allen must turn counter clockwise at the same time. It might be tight so be persistant. You can do this. hoped this helped Bill.

I just keep one of the 2 drills in the bag along with a bit set I need for that job. If I need both, I have to transport that drill in a different tool bag.

Some of the larger bits in this set may be used carefully in a handheld power drill, but certainly the tinier ones will snap off instantly. A drill press (or milling machine) is the best bet for getting the most out of the entire set. Also, screws are hardened steel and are very hard to drill through. I fear the combination of handheld drill along with the hardness of the target will lead to poor results. Look to "screw extractors" for a better system.

its not a bad design, i have a 795 and had the same problem when i first used it. the chuck has an unusual dubble locking action. close the chuck down on the bit when it stops, grab the black nurled chuck and twist it clockwise again, u will hear a clicking sound as it wratchets down till it locks again, and then the bit wont fall out

The drill has a hand chuck ( does not use chuck key.) You put the drill in revere and hold the chuck with your hand until the drill bit is loose and just take it out. Put the drill bit in and punt the drill in forward speed and hold the chuck with your hand until the new drill bit is tight.

Jessica, you need to "unscrew" the drill bit holder; As you do so, you will note the opening increases in size; when your drill bit will go into the drill, stop turning; then reverse the holder until it is tight around the bit. Hope this is of some help.

I push it through the base using a fingernail or the bit that is currently removed, from top to bottom.EDIT: I see from the earlier replies I have been doing it wrong. :)
