Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why a

Yes.

They're relatively cheap, easy to find that then your drill is
still usable with normal drill bits in a few seconds.

My application is not even for a tool, you ****ing moron.

But, for what it's worth... I prefer having a tool ready to go.
Also for me, like most people in the real world, having a 1 or 2
inch extension on the end of my drill is a bad thing. That is why
some drills come with quickchange chucks.

Being able to replace a regular chuck with a quickchange chuck
makes perfect sense to me. Another reason is because it
significantly decreases the length of the tool (for those who can
use a quickchange chuck, of course).

I have one I paid less than 10 bucks for and only adds about an
inch to the length of the drill. Of course, as others suggested,
it doesn't get much use because most things you might want it
for work better with two drills and everything chucked up nice
and tight...

That is bull****. Of course it depends on what you have to do.
Lots of namebrand high quality drills come with quickchange chucks
instead of an ordinary chuck. In fact, I own two of them made by
Bosch.

Anyway... I guess the trolls should be thanked for keeping the
thread alive, since it helps verify the idea that there is no such
replacement (quickchange) chuck, even though I could have guessed
that. More thanks goes to those who are smart enough to keep their
mouths shut.
