non centrotec bits

[bryanlannigan]

i have lots of  various snappy bits, how can i use them in a festool impact drill with the impact on. Are there any adapters out there to buy to fit them in.

I guess you mean hex shank bits?  You could put them in the 3-jaw (Jacobs) chuck, or maybe in a centrotec bit holder such as:https://www.festool.co.uk/accessory/492648---bhs-65-ce#Overview.

Hi,

Do you mean impact driver as in the discontinued TI 15 model? Or are we talking about a percussion drill like the PDC?

If it's the latter and your snappy bits are rated for use in a percussion drill, you could simply put them in the jacobs chuck.

I would not recommend to have a regular 1/4" hex bit holder (centrotec or not) serve as an adapter for the use of hex shaft drill bits with a percussion drill.

(Same goes for impact drivers, there are bit holders and bits out there rated for impact use - those should be preferred)

Kind regards,
Oliver

Hi,

  Welcome to the forum!

        I am not sure if you mean the Ti15 or maybe the PDC18?  Not sure if it will work for your needs but Snappy makes a pretty decent adapter that allows non-Centrotec bits to be used in a Centrotec chuck.

I think it's about the Ti 15, because that one dissables the impact when the jacobs chuck is fitted.

If you have a lot of 1/4" ball detent bits (that's what Snappy bits are), try the Snappy Centrotec to ball detent adaptor.  I love mine.
