    Hex Shank Bits for metal or wood
    I have the quick release adapter. Problem is the drill bits come in such small sizes.
    I need at least 3/16. Otherwise I will have the chuck key around my neck.

    Are there any new drills that have quick release from drill bit to other type of bits
    Without being a hex shank configuration

    Hi,
    Admittedly hex shank drill bits are pricey most places including Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot, but the soft adapter and bits to go with it are too.
    You could think about inexpensive bit sources such as:
    Buy Drill Bits - Associated Industrial Distributers
    Or perhaps doing the change over to a keyless chuck.
    Peace,
    Clarke
