drill bit advice

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

I inherited a load of second hand stuff when a relative passed away, as I need to get things sorted so I can look at converting the garage and building the new office I am sorting through it all.

I came across a load of drill bits but I can't identify the end of them to see which drill I need.

I have 3 drills, a large powerful hammer drill that came with a load of masonry bits, it's bits have a grooved end and kind of click in. the other 2 are typical battery ones with your standard round ends, neither of which could take these:

Any ideas?

The grooved click in drill you have is an SDS. The Tapered ones you have in the pic are old fashioned wood auger bits for a hand brace drill.

Thanks Looks like I might have to try and find myself one then, unless its in one of the boxes of stuff I've not sorted

20 seconds if you know its called a shank All I was getting was explanations for the other end

Bit shank doesn't tell you much. It's a standard wood brace (Irwin), they still make them.

Old school bit of kit. They look in good condition though!

I didn't start by googling shank either, I couldn't think what it was called 10 seconds googling revealed that, and 10 seconds to find out what the type was

Bloody hard work with those hand drills and those auger bits. You take power drills for granted these days.
