5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy Other Manufacturers' Hex Shank Chucks, February 13, 2001

I have used the Makita and Stanley, and they are junk compared to the DeWalt. The BIG difference is that the collar on the DeWalt is spring-loaded so that you just push the bits in and they lock in. All the other brands that I have seen, you have to pull back the collar manually (a 2-handed operation) to insert the bit. The device is sturdy and a time-saver over other brands of similar function. DeWalt makes a few nice combo-sets as well.

I have been doing a lot of work that requires me to drill holes and then use my drill as a screwdriver. This little gadget makes me tremendously efficient. I just pop the drill bit in and I'm ready to work. It cut my time by about 75%. Well worth the money.

This isn't too bad of a quick change chuck, but I have had some problems with mine. I have two dewalt drills and I have one for each and have the same problem with both.

First off, the one in the picture is not the one you get. The ones I got were all metal and knurled. (no big deal) The big problem that I have are my bits sometimes fall out when I point the drill down (on both of them). It seems that the ball inside gets stuck and you have to hit it on a hard surface to get it to dislodge. I used a craftsman with a craftsman drill for a long time and had no problems.

I still have had good luck with dewalt and will continue to buy their stuff. I suppose maybe I just got a couple of bad ones.
