Be careful with a reversing screw driving drill, though, these have

I thought all chucks had this LH threaded screw, or am I wrong?

I've got a couple of old non reversing ones and they don't. If you think
of it, the chuck can't really come loose in use - it will tend to self
tighten. Could be modern drills all now use it to standardise things.

I obviously don't really remember that well then, my first drill that
I bought when I was at school was a cordless reversible!
I would have checked myself but all my drills are reversible, SDS, or
both.
