Should you use Makita drill bits with a Makita cordless drill?

Posted by admin
rjgiants75 asked:


In the big box stores I see Dewalt and other brand 70-100 piece drill bit sets for good prices. If I’m using a Makita should I search for Makita bits or would any brand bit work the same?
The main reason I’m curious is because when I was at Home Depot recently,the guy helping me said that the Bosch drills are picky with the fitting of other brand bits. That’s what made me wonder if it applies to Makita too.

    If Bosch drills were really “picky” about bits, they wouldn’t sell many drills. Use what you need and can afford.

    For the most part standard drill bit about the old hand operated crank carpentry drills those have drill bit is standard drill bit sharpener for the most part standard drill bit about the only ones that would.
    The end to keep the only ones that would make difference and actually even cheap drill bit is standard drill bit sharpener for the drill.

    Unless you are talking about the big demolition drills then any bit will fit any drill that is big enough to hold it. You gotta watch those guys in the stores, sometimes they know what they are talking about, but a lot of the time they have no clue at all. I’ve been in Lowes and Home Depot a few times and watched them give horrible advice. Once they leave I usually go over and tell the customer the right way to do it.
