When to use ball chuck? Advantage of ball chuck over angled chuck?

Preference, really. I find the angled check a little easier to deal with. Accuracy gap between the two could only be minimal.

I use the angled as well, I cant understand what I'd use the other one for.

I fhave a standard cordless drill. It just fits in the chuck and I tighten it and off I go. As I recall you should only go in the clockwise/tighten direction. Its easy. And it works very well.

For me it is easier to pump the tire with an angled valve as the spokes on the wheel has a tendency to get in the way if it is a regular straight version. It really depends on your pump, but the angled valve gives you some flexibility. Hope that helps.

Must use the 1/4 inch hex head. I bought a set of hex drill bits and they work great. Took a little bit of getting used to as the driver does not bite down like a regular chuck would. But with the quick release right in front of your index finger the hex option is REALLY sweet!

A ball head is much better camera use than a 3 way head. The 3 way is more useful for video work where you pan across on a single plane. Ball heads are also easier and quicker to adjust when working on uneven ground.

It is important to remember that this unit works best when the moving object is coming directly (as directly as possible) toward it. So, if you're at an angle to the ball travel line I don't believe it is going to be as accurate as coming directly toward the unit.

advantage goes to angled version, especially if shooting prone or fraom any positon in which you are not directly behind the scope.

The angle gun is more "corner" friendly. Especially when working with moldings etc. in tight places. We have ran 20,000 plus nails through ours and not one problem . Still going strong. If it broke today it owes us nothing. I'd buy the same thing again in a heartbeat.

For bird watching and astronomy, more people prefer angled for viewing comfort. Hunters usually prefer the straight angle. I test both and see what angle is the most comfortable for you. I hope this helps.

i use a dewalt cordless drill, (any cordless drill will do ( just as long as ithe chuck size is: either 3/8" or 1/2". i use it mainly putting in grass plugs. works great. just control the speed because it really digs fast. greg

I like the straight shaft. It's easier to control and easier to reach under bushes, etc.

does not include a chuck. A chuck is to hold the piece for turning bowels etc. PSI has a number of good chucks at a good price.

I am not sure as the chuck has frozen on mine and I can't open it. It worked fairly well for the few times I used it, but if you have not bought it I would recommend the corded unit. Ok for light sheet rock work but not much else.

It is a standard chuck that allows you to hold to unlock and loosen to release and insert new drill bits or screw driver types and then you can twist tighten by hand ... maybe a little ackward at first, but you will easily get used to how it is done ... does not take any extraordinary strength.

I have used both and this ball is worth the extra money. The grip on the ball is superior to any other ball I have used.

Tom, the chuck can take very very small bits. what will control the smallest but you can use is the speed and the pressure you have to apply in order to drill through whatever you're drilling. On the small tiny drill bits and I mean miniscule ones that go down to .03", you should use a small hand drill. the smaller drill bits will bend very easily so very little pressure can to be used when drilling. I hope this helps. Julio

Sure it would work, but the ball will bounce off the rim at a different angle. We have a slanted drive and it does not pose a real problem, but I do plan on making a shim with plywood or cabinet shims to even it out.
