Overview

The P&N Quickbit hex shank drill is a 1/8in HSS drill built for quick change systems. The 1/4 hex shank drops straight into a quick change adaptor or an impact driver, so you can swap from drilling to driving in seconds without loosening a chuck. The drill is removable and easy to replace when it wears.

The P&N Quickbit range is built around that idea: one power tool handles drilling and driving, and the bits lock into the adaptor without a chuck key. For a roofer or sheet metal worker carrying one driver, that removes the back and forth between a drill and a screw gun on the same job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a quick change drill?

A quick change drill has a 1/4 hex shank instead of a round shank, so it locks straight into a quick change chuck, a hex adaptor or an impact driver. The P&N Quickbit range uses one power tool for drilling and driving, with no chuck key needed to swap bits, which is what makes it fast to move between operations.

Can I use this drill in an impact driver?

Yes. The 1/4 hex shank is designed for impact drivers and quick change adaptors. The removable drill body means you can replace just the worn bit rather than the whole shank, so a dull point does not mean throwing out the adaptor end.

What materials is it suited to?

The listing states the bright finish is for general purpose applications, non ferrous metals and plastics, and the drill handles a wide range of ferrous and non ferrous materials for hand held drilling. The 118 degree point is a standard general purpose grind that starts cleanly in sheet and bar.
