Acutally I have been using cordless and corded drills since the early
90's that all have keyless chucks, my Pansaonic was the first. I have not
had a problem with slippage with any of the keyless chucks.

Like a lot of things, it's a matter of size.

1/2" and smaller chucks usually found on hand held drills are great for
keyless chucks.

OTOH, a drill press, bench or floor, will typically have at least a 5/8",
more likely 3/4" chuck.

A keyed chuck above 1/2" has a lot going for it., IMHO.

Ok then, 2 votes NO against the keyless. I'll forget about that. That
takes, thank goodness, Craftsman out of the hunt.
