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.

Only ratchet I get is a click or so when it is tightened. You don't have
the clutch adjusted loose do you? I really like the one hand chuck.

No matter what brand of drill you have you may also want to consider getting
one of the quick change chucks if you are constantly changing back and forth
between a driver and drill bit. Takes less than a second to swap them.
