I opened the chuck all the way and now it won't close. I tried to
force it with channel locks and now it won't turn in any direction.

Is there any way to fix this? Has anyone had this problem?
thanks

Maybe try gently tapping on the jaws. One of them might be stuck.

If it jams, force it. If it breaks...

Get mean with it.

Put it in low and use vicegrips and hit the trigger.

Repeat until it works free or burns out the motor.

And if that doesn't work, not so gently. Give it a medium whack, the
jaws or the bigger part that holds them.

I have the same problem. It seems to be a mechanical issue that Wd40 won't
resolve. It just won't move and just clicks if I try to turn it.

I agree. Something stuck. If WD-40 won't work, maybe try 3-N-1 oil.LOL
