Just OK |
This isn't too bad of a quick change chuck, but I have had some problems with mine. I have two dewalt drills and I have one for each and have the same problem with both.
First off, the one in the picture is not the one you get. The ones I got were all metal and knurled. (no big deal) The big problem that I have are my bits sometimes fall out when I point the drill down (on both of them). It seems that the ball inside gets stuck and you have to hit it on a hard surface to get it to dislodge. I used a craftsman with a craftsman drill for a long time and had no problems.
I still have had good luck with dewalt and will continue to buy their stuff. I suppose maybe I just got a couple of bad ones. |

5 Stars for old chuck |
|
I got this years ago with my 9.6v DeWalt cordless drill (no longer sold). It still works but tends to fall out of the keyless chuck. I'd like to get a new one, but have doubts about the new version of this. Why do manufacturers take something good, change it, and risk making it bad? |

Quick and Easy! |
|
This chuck is extraordinarily easy to use with one hand, in contrast to many similar products where you need one to push down the collar and another to pull the bit out. This one has a small spring that coaxes the bit out far enough that it's free of the keeper but still in the chuck and easy to change. Highly recommended! |

Item different from what is shown |
This item lacks the "rubber finger grips for comfortable use" that is in the product description, and is also physically different from the picture shown here. See my uploaded pic for what item actually looks like.

A must have in any tool box |
|
It has already been said in most of the reviews on this product, but it bears repeating. Just pop in a bit and the spring mechanism locks in. pull back on the collar and it ejects. So simple it is genius. There are many other rapid load chucks available by other makers but for some reason they have all chosen to use a mechanism that usually requires two hands to operate and is not only more complicated in design, but not as efficient. I have several of these made by just as many manufacturers, mostly because they are often packaged with a set of 1/4 inch shank bit sets, but the DeWALT is the only one I use everyday most of the others I own are still in the original case and mostly unused. |
