Well I went to use my hammer drill this week and the darn chuck will not open. (it already has a bit in it)I soaked it for a few days in WD40 that didn't work, so I soaked for a few more days in PB blaster, still no good. I'm thinking about putting the heat wrench to it but I'm scared of reuning a good drill because of the heat and flames. Any ideas??? ...Thanks guys

I noticed that nobdy has come up with the simplest and probably fastest method to unstick a chuck, take 2 pairs of plumbers pliers, one pair on the rearmost section of the chuck and the second pair on the part that tightens the chuck, and you hold each pair of pliers in one hand and twist like there was no tomorrow. i use this technique all the time when I lose a key for the drill, and it works VERY well. I can say that this combined with WD-40 and other penetrants will get ANYTHING that moves and is stuck unstuck.

Hey, thanks for the link. I didn't have any clue as to how chucks were put together.

On reversible drills are chucks only taper fit onto the drill? Hm? Figured they were screwed on like others, but I'm now wondering after reading the article.

What few cordless's I saw, the check was threaded on and inside the jaws there was a screw, left hand thread.

If it is a Jocobs or Jacobs style chuck and you manage to get it to release you may want to take it apart. To do so you press it apart, can use a vise. the part with the teeth presses off the end with the jaws. You need to have a piece of tube the right size to fit the part with the teeth. And another, a socket will do, to help press on the nose of the chuck. do not press on the jaws. Anyway put the first tube up against the end of the chuck that goes onto the drill, and press the body out of it. It can only go back together one way, the jaws must be in the proper order. The threaded nut inside that is broken is supposed to be broken, pressing the outter part onto it is what holds it together and if you look at it it can only go onto the chuck in two pieces. I make sleevs for pressing chucks out of electrical conduit. If it isn't small enough I cut a section out of it and clamp it with a hose clamp to reduce it in diameter. If you will be using it much you can weld it. Clean the parts and put some grease on them and press it back together. You need another tube to fit up against the teeth of the outer part, then you press on the back.

Unless the innards are messed up, tap the chuck a few times with a hammer, it it is rust it will probably break loose, I wouldnt use excessive heat.
