Can you use this in a power drill? I've only ever used this type with a
brace before.

Its not a brace bit as it has a round shank to fit a drill chuck.

I would make sure you have a low speed drill before using it.

Great. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Easily. I've drilled loads of holes with a 1" auger in a historic B&D drill. You do need 2 speed gearbox for that - 10mm ought to manage without though. And you need reverse to get it out again, or some tough gloves.

Yes, it has a round or hex shank.

They work best on drills with a low speed gearing and lots of torque.

Different end on the shaft - they have a square drive (tapered) normally.

When I was drilling a lot in oak I took to removing or shortening the
pointy threaded tip sometimes. It pulled the drill in too strongly and
the process was much easier going with the pressure reduced, but ymmv.

A cheap drill went up in flames (literally) on one occasion, but yes is
the answer, with care.

Depending on what you are trying to do, I've had good success with
Forstner Auger bits in std drills:

http://www.wonkeedonkeetools.co.uk/a...er-drill-bits/

I think I used one to chain-drill a line across a sub-terrain wood
gate post with the bit in a long extension and think it was probably
tougher than the alternatives.

As others have said, they are fine. Best to use low speed on a two speed
drill, and keep the speed down with the trigger. More care needed in oak
than in softwood.

I think you are seeing two facets of a hex shaft.

That's quite different from the shaft for a brace:

http://www.irwin.com/tools/drill-bit...ter-auger-bits

You can also get adaptors that will allow a power tool style bit to be
driven with a brace:

If you need to reduce the "pull" of the worm drive on a one off basis
(rather than permanently by grinding the worm off/down) pre drill a
small (say 4mm) hole with a normal bit first. That will leave the worm
with far less material to engage with.

But that wouldn't be there if it was cut off eh? ;-)

The extra information says it needs a chuck with 12mm capacity so it
must be for power drills. I would call it a "Tweeny bit" which is
brilliant for drilling where you cant get your weight behind the drill
as it pulls itself through the wood.

Congratulations on figuring out the totally obvious. Maybe you should recommend not cutting one's fingers off at the same time too.
