Quick change drill bit / driver bit - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

I had a really nice quick change drill bit that just slipped over my driver bit when it was in my drill. I was in a hurry today and didn't put it on the driver bit properly.... and screwed it up. I can't even remember where I bought it ... I have had it for years!!! Looking for a new one now!!! Can any of you guys help me with a site where I might get something along these lines or something similar??

Thanks... Bummie

Dewalt has a flip kind with driver on one side and drill/countersink on the other, is that the one?

Ryobi makes one also.

I generally have one drill chucked up with a quick-change hex drive also have a few of the 'flippers'. Which one are you looking for?

This one has 3 metal prongs that slip over the driver bit and lock into the spaces in your chuck. All I remember about the name is that it isn't one of the big companies..... a lot of help huh??

No,I remember those now, it had a red plastic ring at the base of the three prongs. Kinda wiggly, but quick and easy. Haven't seen those in years.

Yep... that's the one, Forry. It was really fast to switch.

I have kept an Insty Bit quick change chuck in my drills for years, and they still work like the first day. They are not the "flip' type you mention, but they use any thing with a ball type detent . When I do cabinets, I grab my "standard" assortment of bits, # 1 & 2 Sq drive, # 2 & 3 phillips, 9/16" spade bit, countersink, 3/16" and 5/32" twist bits, and either two or three cordless drills. Ready for anything. Both Dewalt and Ryobi also make a similiar quick change.
