Drill chuck adapter

Drill chuck adapter

Everyone who likes DIY (Do It Yourself) has at some point had the need to drill a hole in a wall or in a material such as wood. For this we had to buy or borrow a drill from our neighbour so that we could drill the holes in the wall to hang the picture we had been waiting for so long. The problem can come when it comes to putting the drill bit that we had prepared and that is the size we are interested in, in the drill. Drill bits are usually of different sizes depending on the hole to be drilled and the mouth of the drill has a fixed size. To make this adaptation we will have to use a drill chuck.

What is a drill chuck:

The drill chuck is a cone-shaped element that we adapt to the mouth of the drill. Thanks to this tool, we can use drill bits of different sizes without any problem. Depending on the type of drill bit and chuck, the gripping system will be different:

SDS plus chuck:

SDS Plus drill chucks are a 3-jaw tool with a shank. This type of chuck can be used with any type of drill bit as it adapts to each of them.

SDS drill chuck:

SDS chucks (Stecken, Drehen and Sichern, meaning ‘insert’, ‘turn and secure’) or also called Special Direct System, are chucks designed by manufacturers for the use of their drill bits in electric drills. The advantage of these chucks is that the grip on the drill bit is better compared to SDS plus chucks as they are specifically designed for one point and the precision of the work is higher. It is clear that the cost of such chucks is higher and that is why they are used in a professional environment.

What is a chuck adapter for?

In all this connection between the drill chuck and the drill we would be missing an element which is the drill chuck adapter. The function of the adapter is to connect the drill chuck to the drill.

Types of drill chucks:

Within the Bianditz product range we can find three types of drill chucks depending on the type of drill we are using: – 3/8’ x24h drill chuck adapters. 52mm. – Drill chuck adapters ½’ x20h. 52mm. – SDS drill chuck adapter ½’ x20h. 65mm.
