The chuck won't hold tight.Loosens when you let your finger off the trigger. Know an easy fix?

Wow, mine didn't do that, hey are you having any battery problems? This drill is better than my old Milwaukee if can believe it? Never and I mean never bogs down, but I bought 3 spare batteries, only one holds a charge. Thought I would try the newer lithium what do y'all think?

You must tighten the chuck with two hands instead of using one hand on the chuck and one on the trigger. Like how you would tighten it if you had a dead battery.

It happend that to me many times.i hold on to the chuck really hard and switch the drill going backwards and push drill button it should loose up.

As you face the hex-lock .. press the LOCK button to stop the arbor from rotating. "Tighten" the hex just a bit (CCW) then "Loosen" by turning CW as the arrows indicate. It should loosen up for you. I run into the same thing all the time after using the devise a LOT.

Lube the threads and work it a little. Mine was the same and it tightened right up. Works fine now.

Not sure if I am understanding your question correctly. What I did do is grab the drill and I was able to turn the chuck without pulling the trigger or powering up the drill. I hope this helps.

this is a manual chuck. no chuck key needed. hold on to it and squeeze the trigger. the chuck will open or close depending on the direction selection. be sure to have the direction selection slider either forward or backward...NOT IN THE MIDDLE

Hold down the silver button and twist the chuck left, insert the tip, turn the chuck right to tighten, then release the silver button

make sure the trigger is pulled back and held tight. I find that if I let lose even a little, it will turn off.

Ok, so the problem is that the top teeth of the chuck is clamped shut and the previously mentioned trick of screwing it down (righty tighty) on the dremel shaft then loosening by twisting (lefty loosey) doesn't open the chuck teeth, it just removes the whole chuck back off the base. SO, with the chuck in your hand, put a very small drill bit in through the bottom of the chuck so it bumps up against the bottom of the tooth mechanism. I just tapped the drill bit with a hammer and the teeth sprang open!

Sometimes, I have to twist it a bit to stop the leaking. It works like other locking chucks.

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.

Be sure you have it idling with the choke off first. Then depress the trigger slowly and continue holding it. If you release the trigger too soon or too quickly, it will quit running.

The chuck should open by turning it left or right. I hold the chuck in one hand and pull the trigger to open or close. Very fast :) I've never had a problem with mine.

if you turned the 'squeezing' nut too much were the whole assembley turns you will never get it tight. you get one try at it then you have to back off the nut and drill out bad nutsert an try again with another there is no going back . you might find another one at a hardware store or email dee zee for another . good luck they are tricky!!!!

I know exactly what your talking about. Mine kinda did the same thing. Try rotating the knuckle the full 180 degress a few times and it should loosen a little bit. I think it will always feel a little stiff.
