what is the ratcheting chuck?

As you turn the chuck with a bit in it you can feel it click as tightens. The harder you turn it the tighter it gets & it doesn't back up.

It appears to be a DeWalt made in-house item. Very sturdy though and the jaws are carbide faced. I like the ratcheting feature, it really grips tight.

The blade is easily sharpened, this is a great ratchet the best I've used by far.

Personally, I have not had a problem with it in that capacity. My main issue is that the chuck doesn't want to engage/disengage. Many times I had to use a wrench to unlock the chuck.

Sorry, don't know if the chuck is removable? You might try the question on a search engine like Google, etc.

Hi a chuck is the clamp that holds the drill bit. If you look at the picture, the chuch is the black clamp which allows you to insert the drill bit.

It's very simple, you just hold the drill firmly in one hand and twist the end of the chuck in the other. Open wide enough to insert the size bit you need then twist in the other direction. The chuck will move very little while twisting.

I use mine all the time. Works great as a drill and impact driver. The chuck locks in just like any other attachment for the driver mine catches just fine. Unless I'm not understanding your question.

it is not a chuck, it takes 1/4" hex. To drill, you need that type of bit. It is a really well made and thought out item.

No problem at all. Just push the silver button in and you can move the ratchet up and down.

Yes-The chuck locks up when not powered, you can turn the whole body like a manual screw driver.

It reverses the bar and shoe to keep the ratchet out away from walls and such. It is well worth the money. I use mine all the time for refrigerant lines on AC units and its a great add on. It will bend any soft copper or aluminum tubing type L & M, WILL NOT WORK ON hard drawn copper tubing.

I don't know that I'd call it a ratchet, but there are spring-loaded pins that disengage when you've tightened the spreader (or whatever you'd like to call the cone that is actually doing the flaring)

It isn't a ratchet function, it is geared, so basically you can go by degree if you like (though there is no way to measure such a small increment accurately). In practice, you just turn the wheel a little at a time. I go by 1/4 turns, but my son goes by 1/16-1/8 turns to nudge a little farther. My 1/4 turns with my legs at ~140 degrees is probably pushing them out another 1 degree or so.

The one I have is red. I don't recall the claimed RPM but it's very slow. Probably the slowest 3/8" air ratchet I've owned. It does the job and breaks tough bolts loose but if you want a speedy ratchet this is not the one for you.

There is a knob to the right of the lock button that is used to release the ratchet. The crimp levers must be compressed a bit to take the pre-load off the ratchet mechanism, once this is done the knob can be turned in the direction of the arrow to release the ratchet.

You do not need a chuck on this drill. Read the booklet that came with your drill. Grip the drill in front (behind where you put the bit or drill bit in) and pull the trigger. Put the drive in reverse to tight or loosen.
