Good rapid chuck for the price. Holds well and easy to use. Bought three, one for me and two for my dad.
It seems that the ball inside gets stuck and you have to hit it on a hard surface to get it to dislodge. 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. This isn't too bad of a quick change chuck, but I have had some problems with mine. I used a craftsman with a craftsman drill for a long time and had no problems. 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). 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.
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.
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.
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.
