Second, you can loosen the chuck via a strap wrench. The easiest way to deal with this is to occasionally loosen the chuck and re-tighten it. The Rohm prevents this from happening.īut as you can tell, it causes an issue if you use the drill as a motor for something and just run it all day. I've had bits slip on the keyed chucks when drilling steel - stops all work and creates a burr on the bit and really interferes with process, since I need to file down the burr. This is an awesome feature - a slipping chuck is 100x worse than a non-loosening chuck. Most Rohm Keyless chucks are designed to tighten as they are used. Why do you call it crap? Because the square peg won't go into the round hole? You call the chuck "crap" because a device that's measured on its ability to tightly hold something stays too tight? Do you see why I thought you were a troll? I just couldn't tell since your post was very anti-brand, and very pro-another brand, with almost no understanding of what's going on - just simply calling it "crap". But it's also heavy and I wouldn't want that on the end of my cordless drill. My old work had a "Albrecht" keyless chuck on the drill press, and you're right it was really nice !! I bought a cheaper keyless chuck for my bench drill press at home and it's great. So I'm really confused on that one why it would have problems after very very little use. Then I got a 12v smaller Dewalt over the holidays and have very light use on it, and now it's chuck is getting rough. But it's definitely got a bad spot in it, which doesn't allow me to loosen it sometimes, hangs on tightening and can be a pain trying to use it sometimes. No the chuck doesn't slip or loosen, I always tighten it enough. It is a top level drill is it not? It doesn't bounce around in a truck, it's a garage king. But I'd expect a Dewalt drill to survive all that, it's designed and marketed as a workhorse. I won't deny that i put that 20v drill through the ringer using it to mix thinset for my tile jobs around the house. I'd be more interested in hearing what brands of keyless chucks are good? I doubt Dewalt would spend money on a good brand name chuck when they can make them themselves for less. I'm going to take it into a Dewalt licensed repair shop and see what they say and what options I have. It's probably just like some GJ members said, most keyless chucks are crap. That's why I mentioned another brand that I considered buying. Part of GJ being so great is helping us to decide what brands to buy. The only reason I mentioned a Milwaukee was that I had the chance to use one once, and I noticed the chuck was very smooth & the trigger control was 20 times better than the Dewalt with regards to speed control, startup and braking (slowdown). But on the downside, it's really the thing I hate the most about posting on GJ, that is all of the potentially mean responses you have to endure. It is one of the greatest sources of information and help I've ever seen from any forum. Though I can see you're under 100 posts so please enjoy the forum and be nice. As one other smart poster said, I have nearly 500 posts and before you go jumping to conclusions take a little time to investigate your accusations.
