Can you hold a #72 drill in it?

Page says it will hold a 1/32'd bit, so no

1/32'd is 0.0313"

#72 is 0.0250"

I have used the Seyco drill for several years and love it !

Yes, it will hold a #72 bit. However, is near the bottom end. a .025 (#75) diameter bit works, but the next smaller size I have .023 diameter will not work. If I close the chuck all the way it slide right in.

That was much harder than I had expected. I spent an hour hunting for and measuring bits. I have some so tiny that if I ever dropped them they would be gone for ever. I almost needed tweezers to pick them up.

I used to sell an add-on drill bit set from the numbered sets. It was comprised of 61-80 in a tiny metal index. The carburetor guys bought tons of them for opening up jets and cleaning out air-bleeds. About $20 at the time.
