Key chuck drill
Hi, i bought a cheap keyed chuck drill from Argos - the brand is
Challenge- and for the life of me I can't figure out how to use the key to loosen the chuck and insert the drill bit. Any help and ideas appreciated! Apologies for the idiotic question. |

Insert the round end of the chuck key into the hole in the side of the chuck so the bevel gears engage. Turn the key clockwise to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen. There are three little jaws in the chuck that protrude from the end of the chuck as it tightens, clamping the drill. Insert the plain end of the drill bit into the chuck. If you insert the pointy end you will have difficulty drilling a hole. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Rednadnerb" saying something like: Problem is, if you can't figure that out, should you really be using dangerous power tools? Let Darwin decide I guess.

Would it be this drill? http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7110247/Trail/C$cip%3D49998.DIY,+garden+and+car%3EC$cip%3D50098. DIY+power+tools%3EC$cip%3D50102.Power+drills.htm What a crazy long URL. The "Challenge 900W SDS Drill Kit" claims to have: SDS chuck for quick bit change. 13mm keyed chuck with adaptor. Which I assume means that it comes with both a keyless and keyed chuck. WTF does SDS mean? |

Never seen of heard of them in my country, but they sound a good idea if you have vast amounts of masonry to drill. My wooden house has no need for hammer drills. |
