Per my request, I recieved a 15.6 Panasonic drill for Christmas. I really
do
love the drill so far - they dont get much nicer than this. But here's my
question - instead of a regular, smooth flowing, chuck loosen/adjustment
like most chucks, this one has a sort of 'ratcheting' effect as you turn
it - don't know a better way to describe it. I suppose I can get used to
it,
I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.

My now 11 year old Panasonic does that. Makita now uses a similar feature.
That is normal.

Yup, What Leon said. And Congrats to you , you've got a great drill.
One of my co-workers has that model and it's held up well and been a
pleasure to use.
Now, because he who dies with the most toys (ummmm... tools) wins...
you might want to start looking at the Panasonic Impact driver with
the same 15.6 battery. I have the Makita 14.4 model, came with a free
drill. If you drive a lot of screws (especially large screws) you will
love it.
