My wonderful imitation Makita 24 volt cordless drill is coming to the
end of its shelf life. It's not the charger, it's not the batteries and it's not the fact that the case has seen better days after an accrow prop fell on it and it isn't even the fact the bolt through the chuck has worn down and come loose as I got it out the rest of the way. The three little screws behind the chuck that hold the hammer action thingumie are working loose and the dammned chuck will not be-the-hell-have its damn self and come off it thank yo-bars-the-#-damn-thing-tard-u. (I'm glad I never told anyone to buy o-piece-of-****-ne.) GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Because the drill reverses, there will be some form of locking screw. You open the chuck fully and look down inside. Could be anything - slot cross head or allen etc. And probably a left hand thread. Remove this and the chuck should unscrew. But it's possible those threads are reversed, ie the chuck itself has a left hand thread and the screw normal.

strung together this: (I'm glad I never told anyone to buy o-piece-of-****-ne.) Don't worry, I wouldn't have listened anyway. They're crap imitations that are\were illegal\counterfeit. Glad it's fallen to pieces, you could possibly buy a proper drill now. -- SJW A.C.S. Ltd. |

These things are repairable, it's just that I was singing its praise every opera tune you nit (ee bah gum some people.) For the rest of us: I need to get the chuck off but it just won't go. The plastic chucks they have these days with a quick release, don't take the hammer that you can give the old fashioned steel ones. What you did was open it and hold the chuck key in and give it a smack with an hammer and bang your thumb a few times, then drop the key or make it fly across the room, then try it the other way and eventually find out which way it works. (The bolt in the centre btw is a left hand thread.) I suppose I had best take it in -or maybe check out a replacement chuck. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
