I am buying this for my husband and know nothing about power tools. What size is the shank so I know what size of bits to buy?

1/4" shank. actually amazon suggests only one size of bits for this router...

Disregard my previous answer. I have the Skil Router and thought that is what I was answering the question about. Sorry about the mix up. I have no idea what size shank the B&D; router takes but it should say in the description of the item.

most hand drills will accept a 3/8" drill bits and these are reduced in shank size above 3/8" and have a 3 sided shank to reduce slip. also they are cobolt bits made in USA top notch for quality and fiance will be impressed if he has any background in metal work. if not he will still have lots of fun drilling with high quality bits , run the speed low as needed.

Sorry, I guess, could not understand your question well . In the item description they have mentioned size of all the bits. This set has 1 bit of 5/16, 1 bit of 3/8, 1 bit of 1/2, 3 bits of 1/4 (Various length) and 1 bit of 3/16... hope it helps.

If the shank that fits into the drill is the same length it might fit. The shank was about 1/4 in. too short for my drill. I didn't measure it, so I can't tell you how long it is. Sorry!

since the tools have no details regarding the diameter of the shank, I cannot answer this question with any accuracy. But I would guess that the bits will not fit into the Dremel chuck.

Depends on what you will be using it for and the size needed, but for a drill, the link here would be a good place to start... I have a similar one.Vermont American 17108 1/4-Inch to 1/2-Inch Drill Chuck Arbor AdaptorYou can search Drill Arbor and find them here on Amazon and elsewhere. such as this one which is a different size. 1/2" Straight Shank to 3/8"-24 Threaded Drill Chuck Arbor

1/4" shank with a bearing on it to run against the jig. It can be changed to other 1/4" bits jig works well

I can't tell you the size but I will say that it is the normal common size. I have borrowed a long bit from a friend who has a air powered hammer and they was the same.

Thanks, your answers are all appreciated. Now I must decide whether or it's worthwhile to buy this and have to buy all new drill bits or go with a conventional model that accepts all the bits I already own.

Agreed, they are standard shank blades, but believe the exact style of the blade will be tough to find. We also have a drill that uses the same battery...really like them both! Try www.ereplacementparts.com.

I measured 1.25...but what is important to understand is....Why do you care??? You will NOT be able to use any of the bits you have if they did not come with this unit. It is not the size but the way the bits are machined that make it specific ONLY to this tool. For the price you can't beat it..but don't expect to just use your other bits or just go to Home Desperate and find a replacement bit. It ain't gonna happen.

Use the hammer drill. Start with a bit one size smaller than what you need.

I can't tell you for sure...but if I had to guess...I would say "No". The issue is not the diameter/size of the shank, but how it's locking fit piece is shaped. Everything I have ever read says that the bits that go with this tool will NOT fit any other tools. It is a great tool and it all works fine..but it is not made of standard fit to work with other tools.

My husband measured the bit he will be using to drill the holes for my pulls, and he said it takes a 5/32 drill bit, or if you want the hole a little larger, use 11/64 bit size. 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

These are standard jobber drill bits. The shank is the same size as the flute part of the drill. The shank is also smooth. It just depends on how small the chuck can close down to. Some 1/2" drill chucks will not clamp down on the smallest of bits but the limit is whatever size the chuck will tighten to, will determine what the smallest drill bit you will be able to use.
