Thanks. McM-Carr has them too ($2.13), but I might feel compelled to
order some other stuff.

Thanks again - I'm off to mcmaster.com

A lot of places sell generic four-in-one keys cheap. For instance:

Four-Way Chuck Key

Don't worry about lost chuck keys, this one replaces them all!
Use one key for 1/4'', 3/8'', and 1/2'' chucks
Fits all major brands - over 125 different kinds
Also use the key's center for acetylene tanks
Perfect for on the job when you use more than one drill

I suspect your local hardware carries something similar


There are more than four types. I have one of those and about a dozen
chucks it doesn't fit. Lowes carries a nice selection of chuck keys. A
local store let me carry in an old drill to find the right key. If the
drill is too big you can always remove it, first.
