A bit assembly is for a drill having a casing, a central axis and a hammer movably disposed within the casing. The bit assembly includes a chuck with a tubular body having first and second ends, the first end being connected with the casing such that the second end is spaced axially therefrom, and one or more openings extending generally axially from the second end toward the first end. A bit includes a body with a tubular portion having a cavity and one or more axial lugs, the lug(s) being disposeable within the chuck opening(s). A retainer is coupled with the chuck, disposeable within the bit cavity and engageable with the bit lug(s) so as to releasably couple the bit with the chuck. The retainer is preferably a deflectable ring sized to receive a portion of the hammer, such that the hammer prevents disengagement of the retainer from the bit.
