So I'd appreciate some help from anyone who knows about drills and drill bits. I've ordered a drill bit that 600 millimeters long but it doesn't have a circular end so it won't fit securely into my drill. The chuck doesn't tighten as well as it does with a fully circular drill bit.
You can see in a photo the drill bit that doesn't fit securely on the left and an example of one that fits perfectly on the right.
I can understand that the drill bit simply isn't going to fit but I've had this a couple of times in the past and haven't been able to find an answer.
It's obviously time to upgrade my drill but can anyone tell me what type of drill I need to buy in order to be able to accommodate both the types of drill bit in the photo?
