Hey ! No need to do all this, just drill a hole in the part of the bit which is stuck inside, then put a hex bit inside that hole, hit it with a hammer so it goes inside the stuck part and then pull it out with pliers. That’s it ! I hope this is helpful

I just had a broken bit deep in the chuck of my DW056. I found that lifting the chuck (as if to remove an intact bit) pulling the trigger eventually loosened up the broken bit. At first, I had the driver going in reverse as I held the chuck up and pulled the trigger for 3-5 seconds. I noticed that the broken bit had moved a little. I also noticed that I was in reverse. I switch the direction to forward, pulled the chuck up again and held the trigger down (no pulsing on and off). The bit fell out after about 10 seconds.

Use a wire like 14 gauge wedged under the collar to keep it in the released position. No need to remove the spring or anything.

I used a bit that was for a screwdriver, not the kind intended for quick release chucks. It was really stuck tight. I got the clip and spring out, but the collar would not come off. I pried onthe collar and hammered hard on it, but it would not slip off. After hours of pulling on the bit with vise grips, it was cracking, and there was just a nub left. So I used a horse shoe nail puller. Luckily I got a grip, and pried on it with my weight and saw it move. I few more times and it came out. Then the collar slipped right off and the bearings fell out. I still can't figure out why the collar was stuck too, but I've learned my lesson, I'll never use the wrong bit again!

A more common problem with these is that the spring that holds the ball bearing in place breaks and your bit will constantly fall out. This video inadvertently shows how to repair that problem also, except buy a new spring and don't put the old one back in. (I've tried bending the broken spring to make it work again.... it's got to be EXACT. Easier to just buy a new spring.)

Used your technique and got the bit out of my Ryobi. Thank you! But when I put the ball bearings back in place (there are 2) the knurled ring won't slip down over them. I assume that the BBs must recess into little pockets in the center shaft ... is that correct? When I look in the holes where the BBs go, there are no pockets. Is there a way to hold the center shaft stationary so that the ring with the holes for the BBs can be turned to aligned with the pockets? Or have I got this concept wrong? Thanks!
