your hand tightening them. Not this one. I dont hold anything.

Try using a rubber strap wrench to get it tight, better than scrubbing
your palms. Or at least use a shop rag wrapped around it.

Cheap keyless chucks are junk. OTOH, if you buy a $200 drill, they are
excellent.
Or simply replace it with a quality keyless chuck from a tool shop or
good hardware store. I've had fair luck using Jacob replacement
chucks.



Just goes to show you, you get what you pay for...usually. I'll spend
the money to by a quality peice of equipment that will give me years of
trouble free service vs. spending $20 for some chinese made peice of junk.
