Seized Drill Driver Freed Up - Makita DHP458 - Jammed Chuck & Gearbox

[@jameselliott8152]

Thank you. Great video. I was given a Makita drill by my tradie son in the same state as yours - jammed chuck with drill bit stuck. I followed the same process as you, fixed it in 5 mins and now have a new drill. Cheers - James

[@ortizmoon]

thanks from Russia, very helpfull🎉

[@ShedTV]

Спасибо 👍

[@NomadicSheep01]

To repeat most of the comments in this video, THANK YOU lol thanks for saving me my grandads drill (inherited) and my uncle's drill bit. Very happy DIY'er

[@ShedTV]

Thanks! Glad you got it sorted.

[@paularnold5108]

You just helped me save my beloved Makita combi cheers

[@ShedTV]

That's great! Cheers mate!

[@richardhume2811]

Bought a second hand DHP458 combi drill (2019) as part of a set of tools. The chuck was jammed solid. Watching your video gave me the confidence to get it working again with lots of penetrating oil and a good set of mole grips. Thank you.

[@ShedTV]

Nice one, thanks!

[@nancyhill1566]

Thank you- I had the tiniest bit stuck in mine, and was terrified of breaking it off before I could get it out!

[@x-armysarge]

Thanks didn't have a vice but a buddy and vice grips really tight worked. We didn't have oil so we used dish soap which worked. A week later remembered to get some wd40 and the drill works great now. Look for the next episode of this old drill.....

[@ShedTV]

Excellent! Cheers!

[@willemvanderschyff8766]

Thank you for the video. It helped me to loosen my drill chuck, saved me a chunk of money. I had to sacrifice a 6.5mm titanium drillbit, but that is a small price to pay.

[@ShedTV]

Fantastic. I'm pleased that it helped you.

[@lalomoon227]

Was going to buy new drill until I saw your video. Got it working like it did again. Thanks for the video..👍🏽

[@ShedTV]

Result!

[@peterhaan9068]

Well the laugh is on the jerk that threw the drill away thinking it was no good! Good job and have a Happy New Year!

[@ShedTV]

Thanks. To be fair to the person, I've got the spare time and my time dosen't cost me anything; they might have been on a deadline for a customer.

[@brianspencer6397]

Quite possibly the original owner thought it was a good excuse to upgrade to a newer model......

[@chatteyj]

@@brianspencer6397 Yeah a brushless one perhaps.

[@alfredcalleja450]

I did the same as you except I put the handle side of the drill on the bench and used the bench to stop the drill from rotating: not my hands and arms. It worked a charm.

[@ShedTV]

Yes, far more sensible!

[@dadygee]

I filled my chuck with WD 40 and left it over night.. Then used a hose clamp to fix it to the vice. Working with exhaust pipes taught me a thing or two about oval shaped stuffings that should be round..

[@alant5335]

Good job done in this throw away society that we're in.

[@ShedTV]

Thank you, I enjoyed doing it. To be fair to the person who gave up though, it was probably a tool of their trade; where time is money.

[@melvilleize]

One of the three tynes in the chuck worked its way out,is the drill ratshit now ? In trying to remove the chuck on my identical drill I got the screw out, put a lrg allen key in the chuck but it just keeps ratchetting and not unscrewing from shaft. Any help there?please.

[@ShedTV]

Ratshit. I see what you did there 🤣 I've not sucessfully relocated the jaws, they usually move because they're worn on the back edge, so they'll jump again ever if you do get it together. I made another video where I go through the whole chuck removal and replacement process in detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4PGmYRma5uSr7M

[@daveoseas]

I was told by a person in the know, that the way to stop this happening is to gently, (when drill works fine) spin it to full open, and full close. No full spin to full ooen, full closed...

[@olivei2484]

Nice! I have a drill in a similar state, I think I will give this a go. Maybe brace against bench to preserve wrists, that can be painful.

[@ShedTV]

Yes indeed, it's quite tricky to feather the trigger with the whole drill moving in your hand. I cut out the swearing!

[@olivei2484]

@@ShedTV lol

[@hildabayena224]

you deserve to be admired

[@ShedTV]

Not quite sure what to say. Thank you.

[@diquadhumungersaur492]

before watchvid i have a mak DHP81(basicslly same as on video) with locked up chuck ,bit stuck in to.. :-) my sons from work,i always get the "dad,can you have ago everybody else has tried and failed.." .. "of course son"" and onto youtube.. if helps me sort it then you sir will become an instant hero and in my damn good books forever

[@diquadhumungersaur492]

mind you the one i have here is jammedup,no movement of chuck so may be gearbox stuck..

[@jessicardenas4460]

Thank you!! I was just about to give up before watching your video and it helped! I was able to have the confidence to twist by hand and I unjammed it! I was previously scared I would break it lol 🙃 Thank you!

[@jcderby129]

Cracking vid thanks. Had the same issue just, the same model, but plastic coated chuck. Managed to get bit out and able to tighten and loosen chuck by hand now mostly without horrible noise, however still seems to snatch at end then difficult to move. Also the chuck seems to run on and the jaws open or close, which is obviously not clever! Any hints or tips on that please?

[@ShedTV]

Thank you. If it was doing that clicky grinding noise it may have jumped a tooth and now one jaw is slightly out of line. To be honest at this stage I'd buy a new chuck, they're not too expensive. See my video on chuck replacement for help if you need it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4PGmYRma5uSr7M

[@rishaalramdeen2112]

As in life, perseverance is key. Well done

[@ShedTV]

Haha, thanks. It might well be, in life; I’m not sure it was with this bloody drill!

[@richardcooper9167]

You beauty! Helped me out a treat with identical problem. Thank you cheif.

[@ShedTV]

Fantastic. Thanks mate!

[@cgriezy1067]

great video, just one question, my drill is a ryobi 2021 model which is pretty newish, i have the same problem but it has a hexagon shaped screwdriver bit stuck in it, any tips on how i can get it out?

[@ShedTV]

Thanks. Tricky one, I would try gripping the bit in the vice, holding the body of the drill in one hand while pulling away from the vice, then try rocking the chuck forwards and back by hand. It might just free off, but mind you don't go flying backwards!

[@simonhallam7709]

THANKS THIS REALLY HELPED

[@ShedTV]

Happy days! Cheers.

[@chatteyj]

I've got a similar makita drill and its jammed in only 8 months of use, I'm not impressed, unless I am misusing it somehow I don't expect this. But will try some of what you did here tomorrow, thanks for the video. I subbed btw as good video and like the channel name.

[@ShedTV]

Thanks mate. You get a one year warranty from Makita and a three year warranty if you registered your purchase. So send it back!

[@garyshaw2940]

Brilliant this is what you tube is for 😊

[@mikemagan2459]

Careful with the wrist mate, drinking Carling cans with the left hand is not as satisfying. Great Vid.

[@ShedTV]

It feels like it's someone else.

[@luizmarcelolopesnakada820]

Thank you very much, saved my wallet!!!

(I've been around tools my whole life*seriously- my Stroller had a Curtain Draped over it in my dads Garage while my mom masked off cars for him to paint, and I married a Gear Head)😂 - So THIS Damn Drill STUMPED ME!! I was gettin a lil bunched in the panties!!!😡 - This "work it" worked. I also used my Air Chuck to blow it out, and Lil Shop Vac to Suck any lil debris out! --- ITS HAMMER DRILL TIME! 👍

[@martinallaire9488]

My chuck on this drill has always beem difficult to open and close with bare hands or gloves. I will bring it under warranty, hoping it is still valid.

[@ShedTV]

Always worth spaying a bit of lubricant in and running it back and to a few times.

[@martinallaire9488]

I will do that... but now its stuck in the "small bit" position and wont turn back. I guess its been short on lube since the start... my chuck shows marks of pliers to hold it still, like the ones on the video. I had to use a plier on it out of the box.

[@SausageSpeaks]

Youre a savior, thank you kindly!

[@ShedTV]

Very kind. Thanks!

[@tomthompson7400]

fair chunk of a drill ,, plenty of power by the looks of it.

[@ShedTV]

It is a cracking drill, very powerful. I bought a side handle for it too.

[@bsg-protect1605]

Can you please fix my makita drill?

[@ShedTV]

Hi, sorry I don't have a repair shop.

[@noonereally9946]

Thank you for this. Cheers mate

[@ShedTV]

Cheers!

[@samantha9313]

I got a new makita drill and the chuck is clicking and basically stuck so I cant open it to put in a drill bit. I will spray with WD40 and try to move it.

[@ShedTV]

If it’s new I’d take it back to where you bought it.

[@unshackledsailing950]

I just had the same problem, basically new Makita DHP458 (immaculate still) and i couldnt release the drill bit. This video enabled me to get it out, thanks! I always tighten and release the bits just by holding the chuck and torqueing it on the trigger on screwdriver setting, didnt realise you can just turn the chuck by hand! (9:54 in the video), first attempt it released!

[@ShedTV]

@@unshackledsailing950 That’s good. I think what can happen with the big metal chucks is that they make little grooves on the bit, this makes it harder to realise.

[@user-2uf2kr2c]

Hello, do you have a link to these drills and how much did you pay for it? Regards

[@ShedTV]

Hi There's a bare unit available for about £65 here: amzn.to/3x5KqJS or a set here: amzn.to/3Nas53U Cheers.

[@lantechbd]

Thank you! Helped!

Great. Glad you found it useful.
