Keyless chucks (machinist chucks like Albrecht excepted) are really rather shit compared to an all-steel Jacobs so I replace them with Jacobs chucks (and weld rod stock for greater leverage to the chuck keys which also get a ring or washer to tether them with paracord).
I figured they were kinda shit. I've thought of just using a pair of adjustable pliers to tighten the thing, but I'm afraid I might brake the plastic chuck with my moron strength.
I use pliers now and then. If it breaks replace chuck. I've had great results from my Makitas for decades so I'd just upgrade the chuck to a similar steel Jacobs key style. I even drilled and tapped one to fit my angle grinder so now it's also a right angle die grinder great for burrs and flap wheels.
I rarely visit so I don't think any board would claim me. I think it was thread about TV. I was curious f they are mad about the finale.But there is some amount of /b/ on my rap sheet during like 2008. Is it bad?
Kids in class always hated me when the professor would grade on a curve because I made them look bad.
It’s amazing how other boards think PrepHole is smart all because of my posts raising the average so much.
Oh and they mentioned that it's slower here during the day because you're all productive members of society. You must be the chief. Smartest one here with his own name. Nice to meet you.
'smart' on PrepHole just means most adept at telling people they are morons, and we are great at that, but that's because generally the stakes here are a lot higher.
The problem with measuring DIY IQ is that dummies pop on here with quick, stupid questions which lowers the average. They come here for help from the high IQ base users. I know this because I do it all the time.
PrepHole has smarties but it's average is lowered by those with financial or social, rather than intellectual, interest in science and math. PrepHole doesn't have the money corruption issue, and so has a lot of genuine people, but also has the social psued issue and the 'I'm too dumb for calculus so I'm gonna cope by consuuuuuming the classics' issue.
DIY is a bit unique intellectually because the people here produce tangible solutions to problems, rather than being more consumptive in nature through literature or textbooks.

OP, You're probably using it wrong just like nearly 100% of other keyless chuck brainless fricks.
You're supposed to tighten it down as it clicks until its as reasonably tight as you can get it, then go ONE CLICK in the opposite direction. This locks it into place, and you won't have trouble with the chuck loosening anymore.
Nobody bothers to read the manuals from the chuck manufacturers (because you smartasses already know how to use the drill right?) but this little tip makes the keyless chuck a whole new experience.
>The drill bit in my keyless chuck keeps slipping no matter how much I tighten it.
Yeah, I did read it and I interpreted it to mean that the drill bit slips while in use.

Hey OP, I pulled up the manual for you
See the part where it says "if your drill bits are slipping in the chuck, try loosening it a click and itll have more holding power!"
Who knew it was that easy?
You can keep laughing moron, but you'll be doing it wrong your entire life if you don't give it a try. You try this once and all of a sudden all your complaints about keyless chucks' performance will go out the window.
>You can keep laughing moron, but you'll be doing it wrong your entire life if you don't give it a try
I checked Albrecht, Rohm, Makita, and Milwaukee manuals and not a single one of them has mentioned it.
You are a homosexual using broscience buying into placebo effect because you have weak wrists.
Let me guess, some old boomer told you this "trick" one time and you blindly believed it?
No, the first time that someone showed it to me after many years of doing it the "regular" way, I thought it was complete bullshit. But then I tried it and I have never --not one single fricking time-- had a drill bit slip/spin on me since.
I get that you don't understand how it works, but consider this: it costs nothing to try, and it takes literally no time. Not even one second.
So give it a fricking try, and THEN try to tell me it's bullshit.
>I get that you don't understand how it works
True, I dont understand. It makes absolutely no fricking sense, especially for anyone who understands how a Jacobs chuck works.
So go on and enlighten us how exactly this works. Dont forget to explain why it wouldnt also work on keyed chucks.
And while you are at it, you should show us some manuals that "nobody bothers to read" from the chuck manufacturers which tell us to do so.
>Yeah, I did read it and I interpreted it to mean that the drill bit slips while in use.
So... loosen the chuck and it wont slip anymore?
How much do you loosen your keyed chucks so that way they dont slip?
Op says he tightens it as much as he can, it doesn’t take much force for the ratcheting mechanism to kick in.
There is no “locking” the chuck aside from the ratcheting which op obviously is doing.
What more do you expect him to do?
The manual is here

I love how this video was unlisted for some odd reason.
I love how no manufacturers tell you to do this in any manual
I love how everyone is so surprised when hearing this "trick" because they have never in 20 years heard anyone else say it, manufacturers or users.
Also I love how if youve ever seen a ratcheting drill chuck pulled apart, youd realize how fricking moronic these people look, talking about some vaunted complicated "locking" mechanism as opposed to just a cheap spring clip
It is a stark reminder how easily and quickly mindless drones will listen to a worthless wives tale or anecdote and completely buy in without giving it a single thought >Its so counterintuitive, and no manufacturers tell me to do it, and its not in the manuals, and nobody has ever heard of it, so it MUST be real!
schizo thread
Meds, now
Did you try turning it off and turning it back on?
sounds like you need a new chuck.
Its a new drill, only used it a couple of times.
I figured they were kinda shit. I've thought of just using a pair of adjustable pliers to tighten the thing, but I'm afraid I might brake the plastic chuck with my moron strength.

Then take it back and get something that's not shit
There was a thread on another board discussing which board had the highest IQ. DIY was mentioned a few times. So I come to visit and see this.
big mistake. our brains are all rotted from eating 100s of lbs of unrefrigerated immitation crab meats in our shipping container bunkers.
and can I become one of you? What can I except and what's the timeline of the "progression"?
depends what board you came 'er from

Buy this *insert flavor of the month* book, I swear I'm not a shill
I haven't browsed PrepHole in like 3 years but everyone just pirates books, and usually they are arguing about old books, not new ones.
every time I've been on PrepHole it's been endless threads jerking off a short list of boring 50 year old """masterpieces"""

Gee, who knew
Please don't try to tighten it by grabbing the chuck and pressing the trigger
That's not how to tighten it
Learn to tighten then LOCK then chuck.
Every drill doesn't have a locking chuck.
Duh, that's why you get a keyed chuck

Your hands probably aren't tight enough.
Guess you have to do the cuck thing and start with a smaller diameter pilot hole
put a new chuck on the drill
