You have a home repair and remodeling job in mind but you aren't quite sure of the attachments it requires. Whether you are cutting, grinding or polishing wood, metal, glass, stone, concrete, or tile, there is an applicable drill accessory available. Let's explore some of the options for drill accessories in this guide.

Common Power Drill Accessories
Whatever the job you need to get done, there are accessories to help the job go smoother and faster. Often when you purchase a power tool you are afforded the convenience of additional equipment in the way of accessories or accessory kits. Whether supplementary parts come offered with your purchased power tool or you are looking for extra components for increased tool versatility, let's discuss the most commonly used.
* '''Drill Bits''' - Are cutting tools use to form cylindrical holes and perform a variety of functions depending on the project at hand whether it be metal or wood cutting. Most common for wood are the flat, auger and dowel bits. The step drill bit is used for metal cutting. Also included in the drill bit lineup are forstner, hex shank and countersink bits.
* '''Screwdriver Bits''' - Readily come in convenient kits with standard sizes and require the use of a separate drill chuck.
* '''Drill Chuck''' - Is the part of the drill that allows for insertion of drill bits and is available in keyed or keyless versions.
* '''Hole Saw''' - This circle or "doughnut" shaped saw bit has actual "teeth" like a regular saw blade and is used to cut larger circular holes, for instance, cutting a hole into a door to install a doorknob. These can be purchased as individual attachments or in an adjustable model allowing for holes of different sizes with just one tool. A boring bit accomplishes the same task but is a little more expensive and is sometimes more difficult to find.
