If the Allen key trick fails, simply cut it off.

Thank you!!! I've been wrestling with this bastard for hours.

[@trippleHelixV2]

Amazing… the knowledge and ability you have with these machines is truly amazing.

[@smashyrashy]

Jesus that was close to the threads

[@MrSuperheterodyne]

I know if I tried that - I would have no threads left, and about a 1/16th" left of the spindle. 🤣 You can tell he's done this many times to get this good at it.

You know it's safety first when the battery comes off last lol

@Doherty what App do you use to edit your videos

Brilliant shortcut

[@murisdemirovic5748]

So for all drills that don't have a screw to hold the chuck you need loctite or did you just need it because you cut of the screw head. If you have time, could you please explain that?

[@AutodidactEngineer]

Yeah pretty much though I'd probably just put some anti-seize to stop it from welding to itself, ya never know when you have to take it apart again 😂😂

[@petrokemikal]

He used blue loctite, that stuff isnt permament, a bit of heat to the chuck from a gas torch would loosen it.. its the red stuff thats pretty much permanent.. @@AutodidactEngineer

[@markr1142]

Dewalt doesn't have a screw. It has a screw head on the drills spindle. That doesn't undo, like a screw would on a normal drill. It's used just to hold the spindle to stop it turning, so you can unwind the chuck. If you can't get the chuck off that way, you have to grind it.

[@trevland1303]

I got a question, I got this old cord Craftsman drill just a plain drill and the check head is stuck but it got the screw inside but I can't get out, so my question is.... can you do a exact same thing when you trying to cut the head or not?🤷

[@cameronwebster6866]

The screw may be a left hand thread.

[@bayadere8308]

Yes, Cameron is correct; in all probability it's a left-hand thread.

[@AutodidactEngineer]

I stripped my knuckle trying to unscrew the darn thing...turns out it's a left hand thread 🤧

996 mobel... Not even that old... How the hell. Is it in that condition

[@pdevonport7266]

Here's a small tip for free to get that chuck off in 30 seconds. Get a 10 mil Hex Key and put the long side in the chuck and tighten it as far as you can, tap down on the short end rotating it after every tap and the whole shaft and Chuck will come out of the drill with no damage to the drill or chuck. It's started driving me mad watching these videos.

@@adriaandoelman2577 here's a tip for free, Allen key, hex key is the same thing.

Cut the crap. No really...

Brilliant

[@jeromereid5327]

The screw in sude ar the back of the chuck is a torques head reverse thread take it out. Then wirh at least a 1/4 hex allen key chuck it in and with a hammer pop it clockwise the chuck will screw off

[@richh33]

That's not accurate advice for these drills Jerome. They *don't* have a reverse-threaded centre bolt in the spindle, the chuck is simply screwed on to a very high torque value. The dealer-recommended way to get the chuck off these without grinding is to remove the gearbox from the front of the drill body, take out the geartrain to get access to the back of the spindle, and either use the proper DeWalt removal jig (which costs more than a new drill) or simply an adjustable spanner or wrench in a vice to clamp the backside of the spindle while unscrewing the chuck with a breaker bar.
