I've had issues with the keyless chuck since the beginning, can't tighten it enough to grab an average drill bit well.
Shortly after new, the front end started becoming loose. I opened it up and found there was really nothing other than plastic to hold the front bearing assembly, and as you use the drill and it heats up a little, the plastic warms and deforms, to where finally, the gears stop meshing completely, the ring gear strips, and the drill finds its way to the trash...

When I was lured into buying this drill, the ad read Skil 6130-01 3/8-inch 120V Drill USA. False advertising. First of all, the drill is made in China. Even the trigger feels like a cheap imitation of a US made tool. I took the chuck off of it and threw it in the trash. I'll probably end up doing the same with the chuck.
