Default Removing chuck from Black & Decker drill?

I had been on the semi-lookout for a right angled chuck, for under the
floorboards, and recently picked up one in Dunstable Discount, for the
princely sum of £3.99 (Blue Spot 'Pro Series'). For that price it's
probably not going to last, but for the occasional DIY use it will be just
fine I'm sure. Even if the angle part of it packs up, I've still got a
spare chuck that is a big step up from any that needs a key, even if it does
come undone in hammering, because the key ones do that too - which is why
they are always chewed up by desperate attempts to tighten them!!


Thanks for the heads-up. I poped in and got one this morning when
going past. Not been in to that shop for about 20 years, as it was
all complete junk the first time I went in there. Warned the guy
on the till that he'd been mentioned on the Internnet and there
might be a rush! Also bought a tiny plastering trowel. Could have
done with both items two weeks ago.
