Default Keyless chucks for hand drills

Ditto - I have the 18 V Dewalt drill with 1/2" keyless chuck and it has
enough torque to nearly break my wrist but I don't think I've ever spun a
bit in it.

That's interesting. I was just using my son's new 18 V Dewalt DC987, and
was really impressed that someone had finally come up with a keyless chuck
that works. The drill shaft locks somehow, so that you can really put
some torque on the tightening sleeve. Seems to work really well, even
with a 2" hole saw. I'm surprised you didn't like yours.

IMHO, there ain't such a thing. I pulled the keyless chuck off the
Dewault 18V drill I just bought and tossed it. Put a good Jacobs key one
on.
