Saturday, August 6, 2011 SKIL 1/4 Hex Collet Twist Keyless Chuck, Model 92170 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my "Yankee" style auto-return screwdriver that takes standard quarter inch bits so I could turn it into a push drill.At first I was worried that, due to its smaller size, it wouldn't have the grip necessary to hold medium to large drill bits without them spinning in the chuck's teeth, but it has a surprisingly strong "grab".I don't know how well it'd work for tools that could generate much more torque, such as a brace-type hand powered driver but I suspect it'd work fine.

The only drawback, which is a minor one, is that the whole "head" of the chuck rotates on the post to tighten/loosen the jaws, so it has to be in a tool if you want to insert or remove a bit from the chuck.
