OT Makita cordless drill'screw driver chuck problem

[H380]

If it is a traditional chuck. Look at the bottom of it. If you have a screw it is probably left handed and has threadlocker on it. Get the screw out. Tighten the chuck on the short end of a large allen wrench. Then hit with a BFH. Take off the old chuck before you buy a new replacement to make sure of the needed thread size.

Think FF is talking about a keyless chuck, if so, and the bit is long enough try to get a short length of tubing that is a close fit to the bit, need to be able to push bit and tube in, then hold tube while pulling bit.

Never seen such a keyless drill chuck unless this is some prankster version?

Ordinary 3-jaw keyless drill chucks are mounted with left-hand screw trough the chuck. But its not possible to get to that screw if there is toolbit magically stuck in the chuck.

No picture is there. It's one that you hold when tightening or loosening.

I'm guessing if there is a way to disassemble the chuck that is what i'm needing now.

Lets try again:
this sort of "hex chuck"?

or something completely different?

I don't know how to get the chuck off. All the references I see show a reverse threaded screw that you have to access through the front of the chuck. If you have the model number you can often google it to find a manual, and that might give you a clue.

Just out of curiosity, are you saying that you have a 4 inch long Phillips bit that has a hex shaft with an indent towards the blunt end, and that some mechanism inside the chuck is hung up on the indent?

When it doesn't work, use a bigger hammer

No crud in there. When I loosen all the way the Phillips bit is loose in the chuck but there is a circular metal ring around the bit holding it from coming out.

You mean this sort of chuck?


Happened to me also once or twice when there was too much crud in the "chuck".

Give it good blast of WD-40 and couple of good jerks on the locking sleeve.
Pulling the bitk and the locking sleeve simultaneously and running it on forward/reverse on short bursts might also help. (clamp the bit in a vise unless you have 3 hands)

CORRECTION, It's a dewalt................
I have a 4" fillips bit that I can't get out of the chuck.
I can loosen the chuck all the way and look in it, there seams to be a round ring holding it in the chuck.
It is't a keyed chuck.
How to disassemble the chuck?
Am I screwed?
