Drill bit holder

[studeywebs]

Hi everyone, I just brought a makita impact driver 10.8v - here is the link, http://www.its.co.uk/pd/108KITTD-Makita-10.8v-Lithium-ion-Impact-Driver-_MAK108KITTD.htm

Anyway I was thinking of purchasing the 50 bit set to start with but i noticed the drill bits are round not HEX so sure cant fit the drill (so why include them) http://www.its.co.uk/pd/P90227-Makita-50-Piece-Drill-and-Screwdriver-Bit-Set-_MAKP90227.htm

where can i get an adapter to hold the drill bit or am i missing something??

I think you have got a bit mixed up.

An impact driver is for driving screws and bolts, not for drilling.

You want a set of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310379386563&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:3160 , or from the sounds of your plans, a drill driver instead of the impact driver.

That is however, very nice as an impact driver, I love mine.

I recall, you asked about impact drivers in another thread for building studwork, which I posted on.

To put up the stud work, you need 70mm screws, and just drive them, without any pilot holes. The impact driver will be excellent for this, and very fast.

So I think you have misunderstood the purpose of the tool, but when you get started you will be pleasantly surprised.

You will however still need a drill driver as part of a decent tool set!

Its a good bit set, and seems to be on offer which is extra good news!

Little tip, as I was stumped at first. To fit the bit into the driver, you need to pull the collar forward on the driver as you slip the bit in. I didn't notice this, so the bit kept falling out! I expected it to click in, which it doesnt.
