Hey thanks, you saved me from having to buy a new drill. I was on the verge of throwing mine out, as I've never been able to remove a chuck before. The allan key trick did it. Also as a bonus, once the chuck came out, I was able to fix the three grippers that had partially jammed for some reason. Luckly, they jammed wide enough to take the allan key. Back to normal now, no money spent. Many thanks mister. Much appreciated.

Your very detail video saved my Harbor Freight Hercules 1/2" 20V Model HC92K1 drill which sold for $120. It was advertised as "comparable" to the Dewalt drill and a compatable chuck sells for $16 on Amazon that one reviewer indicated it fit Hercules. My drill's chuck would open to full width but would not tighten enough to hold any drill less that 1/4". The screw in the chuck was a Toric 15 and it turns out that it was very loose. I tighten the screw (left threads) and now it works just fine and no new chuck needed.

[@AroundTheHome1]

Thanks for sharing. One tip is that you can use an impact driver to tighten or loosen the screw inside the drill chuck. This way you won't risk anything grabbing, smacking you in the face, etc. Drills are probably in the top 3 causes of testicle-related injuries.

[@stubbarn]

Yesterday I was trying to twist off the screw with a screwdriver till my skin almost came off. Then I mounted a flat head bit to my mid torque impact wrench and it loosened with just a flinch of the trigger.

Curious, What are the other top 2?

[@stephensmyth6363]

Second time changing a chuck on a makita drill . First time was for a friend , the chuck was completely broken. Teeth were broken so couldn’t use an Allen key . Cut outside chuck casing with a grinder and locked a 24” pipe wrench on chuck to lock it and used a steel site box for mechanical leverage to spin the chuck off . Tried your method today and had no luck . But decided to just use the vice grips as leverage with the Allen key and it came off . Good video ,thanks !

To loosen the screw, you said set the drill to forward position, that means the chuck will turn anticlockwise. Should it not be setting the drill to reverse position to loosen the screw? Please advice.

[@AroundTheHome1]

This video is correct, at least for every drill chuck that I have worked with.

[@ladeda7033]

Nice, thanks for the helpful video. Saved me some headaches . Just a little help there.... When you show something to the camera try holding it very still so our eyes can adjust, second hold it in place twice as long as you think nesessary. It gives US time to look, focus, and study without getting agitated about missing the picture. David west fire videos has this technique mastered. 👍 Again thanks for you taking the time to make educational videos ! Much appriciated!

Thank you for this video as I could not for the life of me find a drill that had a chuck to accept anything above 10mm but plenty of chuck replacements that could. I thought it would be possible to switch it out but man the drill chuck did not want to let go of the drill..makes me think that they really don't want you do switch them out yourself since it moved my arm at a few points. But again your video made me keep on going and I've gotten it off just need to get the replacement chuck on now.

My Craftsman model CMD710 needed a new chuck. went online for warranty replacement, and was sent a brand new drill, and charger. I figured "score" for me and ordered a new chuck figuring to gift out the new one. Used the craftsman site, and the chuck is available. Now things got interesting. Found out my drill has nothing to unscrew. Nothing there but what looks like the end of a shaft. The thread on the new chuck (ordered from Craftsman site) is regular direction. So how am I supposed to get off the old chuck? Do the same thing as normal with something in the chuck and whack it?

[@AroundTheHome1]

I think so. Every drill I have had has a locking screw inside, but there is always a new model that changes something.

[@martink4719]

If the screw is busted, could i drill it out? Mine is HILTI where can i find new screw for chuck

[@MHumanoid]

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. Drill doesn't have enough power at 55 nm, and whacking with a hammer won't get it loose. I can use raw force with extra leverage on the allen key, but it just seems to turn the chuck somehow. It's at speed 1, drill mode and in reverse. Any ideas?

So what do you do with a Milwaukee 1/2 inch chuck that has the bit teeth stuck and the chuck just spins and nothing happens?

[@AroundTheHome1]

I honestly don't know. I would love to try and take one of those off because you are not the only person with that problem.

[@yondego4733]

Fellas, if you can tighten the chuck on the Allen wrench you don't have a problem in the first place. What if the chuck is stuck wide open?

[@AroundTheHome1]

Well actually chucks can loose their locking ability, slip, and get a wobble but still hold onto an allen long enough to do this. Obviously if yours is stuck open then you have a bigger problem. Hopefully yours has a metal sleave because the next thing I would suggest is to put a pipe wrench on it.

[@timc1341]

Brilliant Just used this trick to remove stubborn chuck on ridgid drill that was not coming off with the normal allen key/hammer trick everyone else recommends. Just be careful about the allen key / vise grip combo whipping around. Just touch the trigger at first to give you a gauge of how strong the kickback is going to be then brace yourself accordingly!

[@AroundTheHome1]

Excellent!

[@peterbongiorno9302]

I unxerstand how to take off chuck, but my problem is the chuck does not spin to close up on a allen wrench. It is stuck open.

[@AroundTheHome1]

Does the outer ring of the chuck hit a stop still or does it just spin?

[@peterbongiorno9302]

@@AroundTheHome1 it just spins, there is a yellow ring between the chuck and drill.

[@AroundTheHome1]

Ok, I was hoping that it didn't so that you could put a pipe wrench on it. Is there any part of the outer chuck that you can grab onto? Might have to break the ring off so that you can get a pipe wrench to hold on.

Any tips for someone who can't get the screw inside the chuck loose? Is there a way to remove the chuck without removing the screw?

[@AroundTheHome1]

The screw locks the chuck in place. The screw has to come out first.

[@bg147]

Do these things have a bit of wobble in the chuck? I bought a Ryobi off eBay and it does wobble. The seller said I can return it or get a part refund. I made sure the screw is tight but didn't remove the chuck. Thanks.

[@AroundTheHome1]

It should't. Are you sure the chuck is wobbling and maybe not a bent drill bit? Just asking because a slightly bent bit can look like the whole thing is off. Thanks for watching and don't forget to stop by our website for many more helpful videos. www.greatwhiteninja.com

What can you do if a drill bit is stuck ?

I'm sorry, I actually haven't had that problem. If the chuck is locked up and worthless with a bit stuck in it, the only thing I could think of would be to use a fabric abrasive blade in a miter saw and cut the end of the chuck off. Obviously don't cut off too much. It is a bit of a gamble. Good luck whatever you do. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

I just bought a used 1/2" Craftsman C3 (19.2 volt) on ebay and just got it. Seems to work fine with the clutch (no slipping, etc), however when you release the trigger it makes a loud noise (kind of a grind noise) when it stops. Non of my other 3 Craftsman drills make this noise when they stop. Any info would be great as I just received this drill this weekend and need to act on it. Thanks... Phil

[@AroundTheHome1]

Phil, thanks for the question. Most all cordless drills have brakes on them. Sounds like that is what you are hearing. I don't have any videos on repairs for that, but I would just do a search on that.

[@uptownphotography]

@@AroundTheHome1 Thanks for reply. Is this something I should be concerned about making the drill inoperable? I just bought it from ebay and would send it back if it's a big concern. I really don't want to send it back, but if it will make the whole drill useless down the road, I would. If the brake is only to stop the drill from spinning when the trigger is released I could probably live with that if the brake fails. Thanks again. Appreciated. Phil

[@AroundTheHome1]

You know, I don't really know enough about failed brakes to tell you. I don't know if it could lock up all the time or is just going to not work when it should. I don't have a good answer for that one.

[@uptownphotography]

@@AroundTheHome1 I do appreciate all your input. I will decide whether to take a chance on the drill or send it back. The problem, the ebay seller will likely not pay for return shipping so it I will lose that way. Lesson, don;t buy a used drill on ebay even though I had him test the clutch, but I never knew about these drills have brakes. Thanks. Phil NYC area

I had a Makita drill that would not come off by hitting it with a hammer and allen key like the other videos showed. This one actually works ! Just make sure drill is in the lowest speed (1) for most breaking power and it is in reverse. Also I put the other end of the allen key in a vise. And USE 2 HANDS ON THE DRILL. It can tear your wrist off if you don't hold it very secure and with both hands. Another method that looks like it would work is using an air powered air gun with a hex bit in the drill and the drill in a vise.

My chuck was on super tight that I needed to use a ratchet and adapter. And the screw required a T40 torx key. And then to add insult to injury, the screw that came with the Rohm chuck I chose is like 70% the diameter of the Milwaukee. I haven't gotten it completely off yet, so I can't comment on whether the post is different too. But it'll REALLY piss me off if it is.

I ain't got no battery for mine, and the chuck needs to be removed. How can I do it with no battery?

[@AroundTheHome1]

One might ask why are you repairing a drill that doesn't have any batteries. If you don't have batteries and the chuck is busted it is way cheaper to just buy a new drill with new batteries. But to answer your question, most cordless drills have an electronic brake. It's what stops the drill the moment you let off the trigger. So it should be on right now and not allow you to rotate the main chuck. So lock in a large allen like I did in the video, but instead of clamping a vise grips to it, clamp the allen in a bench mounted vise. Then rotate the whole drill.

Thank you. Super clear video. I agree the hammer and vice stuff is really unnessisary.

what if its stuck closed?

[@AroundTheHome1]

I really don't know for sure. Might need to take that into a repair shop and let them handle it. The only thing that I could think of is put it in a miter saw with a metal fabric blade and cut just the end of the chuck off so that you could get the screw out. Of course, then that makes removing the chuck harder at that point. Thanks for watching and don't forget to stop by our website for many more helpful videos. www.greatwhiteninja.com

Thanks for the video which is very helpful. My only comment is, circa 3’ 10” in, I would not suggest placing any tool under torque anywhere near the groin area, as it could lead to painful consequences, or worse, injury. Better to put the mole grips in a vice.

The chuck on my Ridgid drill broke last night. It's got a 5/32" bit stuck in it and won't open. Any ideas?

[@AroundTheHome1]

First I will say that I have not been in that situation before, so I don't have first hand knowledge of the best way out of that. The only thing that I can think of is to put a metal cutting fabric abrasive blade into a miter say and cut the chuck in half so that you can reach the screw. Of course this is just a suggestion so play it safe and don't destroy your drill. You can of course take it to a repair shop as well. Thanks for watching.

Try 2 channel locks. Use them to turn the two parts that you usually turn by hand.

Explaining that's just the way you learned to use a chuck. Oh, and also, I break them all the time and am on my 3rd one. LOL. J/K. Good video, needed the info.

I have a 1/2 inch magnum drill motor 5.5 amps that uses a keyless chuck. That uses the best keyless chuck. They should of used that chuck in there heavy duty cordless drill. They are just making things a lot cheaper these days. But the price is does not go down.

@@AroundTheHome1 Can you tell me if my Porter Cable drill motor 18 volts can get a replacement drill chuck that is of high quality ?? My chuck does not hold drill bits firmly. Can I purchase a high quality one from say Jacobs ??? Thanks

[@Johnslist]

My 'chuck sucks'....impressive handy work, but you didn't really define what a chuck sucking meant. What is a symptom, weak grip?

[@AroundTheHome1]

Yes, that's pretty much it. It has problems staying locked. I have better chucks on cheaper drills. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

Great video could not have done it without you one tip for the next person once removing the set screw and inserting Allen wrench place the drill one the side secure against hard surface set to low gear and slowly press the trigger safer then pressing against abdomen! I was prying and beating I almost destroyed my hammer drill. Thnx buddy keep up the good video!!😬

[@publicaccount7246]

Wow a new screw that holds the chunk, no wonder it comes out so easy. Try one that's been on for a while or the teeth are stuck in the middle and can't get anything in!

[@rgbungee1420]

Wow thanks, my dad was so happy when he came back home from work and seeing his drill is chuckless lol he's been struggling for days to remove it until i watch this video and followed the step the hardest part was putting the screwdriver in because one of the chuck's teeth is broken and protruding making it hard and almost broke my wrist lol

[@AroundTheHome1]

Yeah, sometimes those drills have a ton of torque. Sounds like you did a great job.

[@rgbungee1420]

@@AroundTheHome1 yep he was proud of me and saved him to going to a repair shop and paying a hefty price but the downside is i got 4 blisters because of it lol but its worth it

How do you remove the M6 chuck screw when it's broken? I've ran into that issue right now.

[@AroundTheHome1]

Like the head broke off or it is stripped out?

[@ru13z1]

Screw broke off and head came off loose. Any advice???? Great vid by the way

[@thebigguy2757]

I'm probably a bit late, but since it's a left hand threaded screw, you can probably get a right hand twist drill to grab it

[@charlesscottkelly]

Cheers I have a hitachi that is hopeless since new

[@bobclifton8021]

By the way, that screw also is compatible with a square drive bit, probably T20.

[@AroundTheHome1]

Is it compatible with a square drive or a torx? You mention both.

[@lm6036]

I've tried every method available on my Makita but it just won't come off.

[@gorebad8110]

Same here, AEG

[@andrewmarsh4920]

I busted my middle finger after taking the screw out and attempt to use the vice-grip and the biggest hex key (6mm) that I could find my hands on. The vice grip slipped and by the time I had noticed the hex key had already struck my finger. Tip 1. after taking out the screw use wd-40 and wait 15mins for it to soak into the chuck's rod and it will come apart easily. 3 weeks until my finger heals. It's just a scratch still but I wanted to avoid it altogether. Use a decent pair of gloves too.
