Black & Decker drill H 720 H- H15 drill bits needed

BudEliJackson

Hi all,

snowed under as most yas haha so trying to catch up with few things I have on my to do list ... I realized I have drill in shed which I checked and is still working- this was given to me and as I need one, I am planning on using it (my drilling skills are very low) - this drill is quite old, tried to look for the model online but not much luck .. so the question is, I have drill and it is working but no drill bits, what drill bits will fit in it or how do I find out? I know might be silly question for people with DIY knowledge ,,,


thanks all for answers, if I can get them on Amazon or so, I would order, as you can imagine, have some extra online time to spent now as there's few snowflakes out there

PS- if anybody knows about any DIY courses on north-side Dublin, I would appreciate!

thanks!

This is an older non-SDS drill, so you’re just using regular drill bits. It has hammer action so you can use masonry bits for drilling into walls.

If you don’t have one already, you’ll need a chuck key to tighten the chuck and hold the drill bit in.

What material are you trying to drill? You need to get drill bits suitable for that material. If your new to DIY go into B&Q or woodies and get a set with a selection of bits for drilling wood / steel / concrete. If you want to use an online store use the likes of screwfix. Aldi and lidl often sell drill bits, but they can be hit and miss.

It's one of these: https://www.raygrahams.com/products/5418-draper-92451-no-10-chuck-key.aspx?pv=4196&currency=eur&gclid=CjwKCAiArOnUBRBJEiwAX0rG_b8MTWfMOl6p1X-I6O4uzokl0dhCZquO2DBRCPSdEWgQZL8ZDbBn8xoCFGQQAvD_BwE

Used to tighten/loosen the bit onto the drill. If you have a drill, it may be lying around but any hardware shop will have them.

(I attach the chuck key to the near the plug end of the drill cable using cable ties. That way it doesn't go missing and it there when you need it).

I had one of those years ago! Think they use the smaller chuck key. Bring it with you and check. As above tape it on to the flex
