Default Electric Drill Bit Slippage


"Edge" wrote in message
...
I have a Craftsman 19.2 volt drill with a half inch chuck. Many times,
especially while pressing hard into the material being drilled, the
bit slips. No matter how much I tighten the chuck, the bit continues
to slip. Other than replacing the chuck, which isn't worth it, what
can be done? Is there a spray of some sort or something else to
provide a better grip on the bit.



It seems to be characteristic of many keyless chucks. I have less of a
problem with slippage using hex bits.
