Awesome video. Nice clear voice steady clean video and no yes I said no crappy music in the background. You encouraged us by saying Don’t give up. Thanks much.
Thanks. My Makita drill has been stuck for months. Watched loads of you tube vids to sort it, used force, adjustable spanners in opposite directions, WD40 etc but nothing would budge it. Who'd have thought a gentle tap on the 'grippers' would have sorted it in 2 minutes.
Thanks. I was about to buy an entire new drill as my chuck was so sticky... I've really forgotten the raw power of WD40 ⚒️. You've saved me 180 dollars! 💸💰💵
Drill bit’s been stuck for over a month, was on the cusp of going out to spend £40+ on pliers to try and free it. 3 squirts of WD40 and a few taps of the hammer and it was like opening a carton of milk! Thank you! 🙏🏻
YESSS! 😁 I’m so glad you did, I sure do know how painful was it to have this drill bit stuck inside. You are very welcome, no go and drill away everything my friend 😁😁👍👍👍
I HATE keyless chucks, they either don't tighten enough or they tighten too much! What was wrong with key chucks? I NEVER had problems with them! I am going to change ALL my drills back to key chucks.
Tride everything on mine , it jamed even without the bit in it. With broot force managed to get the jaws opend enough to remove the chuch locking skrew and removed the chuk. Filed it under B for bin .
I feel your pain, my friend, I had one old one that could do any job under this sun, but it got jammed and nothing could fix it. I still got it but it doesn't work, just to remind myself how good it was 😁😁
Thanks sooooo much for having posted this video!…I had exactly the same problem without a solution. I sat in front of your video and copied exactly everything you did and voila!! Good job! Well done! And thanks! 😅
Thank you for your comment! This is exactly the problem I had often and I decided to make a video about it. Luckily it is really helpful to people! Glad you found it useful! 👍👍
No, the reason was too strong concrete wall 😂 I pushed my drill bit too hard into the wall for too long and everything got stucked, but I menaged to fix it 👍
@@rookie.handyman thanks for your response strong💪 man... I was more lucky than you (or weaker lol)... I lost the central screw from the chuck (old metabo 3 jaw standard) and literally the drill bit just slid into the threaded bore... WD40 helped, missing screw replaced...
@@rookie.handyman: I wasn't asking you about "perfect" anything; just that one thing. Besides, it's not really about English when it's just one letter. Anyway, just curious.
Thanks for the video: little advice: SDS Drills don´t belong in normal chucks, thats why it got stuck.. ;) Use normal masonary drills and it won´t be stuck ..
Heh nice catch 😊 Yes, I have used SDS Drills all the time in this drill machine, and it usually works just fine, but sometimes it does get stuck. I also recommend normal masonry drills, it is way easier with them. Thx for your advice 👍👍👍
@@rookie.handyman Usually nothing would speak against it. The issue is the grooves in the SDS drills. They are usually symmetric (2 grooves). Most chucks are asymmetric (3 claws) . The result is always one claw sitting half in the groove making it jam due to uneven pressure. Been there ;) Still thank you for your work!
@ournewbulgarianlife4097 Yeah, and the worst thing is when you use a big long drill, you can see how it rotates in a loop, not a circle but a loop because of this third groove that doesn't fit nicely. But hey, gotta make the hole somehow 😁 👍👍👍 Thx likewise.
What do you do if the chuck opens just fine but the drill bit is shoved deep down inside? My son tried to drill hard wood with the wrong drill bit and now the bit is impacted deep inside the drill. No amount of pulling with pliers makes it budge. (He's 8, he didn't know any better 😭)
He at least tried his best 😊 he will learn it is nice that he tried 👍 I think you need to disassemble the chuck, to remove it from the drill, then it will be easier to find the solution I think. Just type your drill type and add how to remove the chuck or how to disassemble the drill and you will find it on RU-vid. Good luck 👍👍👍
Do not grip any adjustable wrench or pliers to the hex nut around the jaws that grab the bit. The material is softer than the ideal hardness of the adjustable wrench and pliers so it will give and immediately strip and dent under moderate pressure. And do not hit the jaws with anything these RU-vidrs have shown. Because that material too is softer than the material used for screwdrivers and whatever. What is actually tougher than the other parts is the chuck itself. I had a chuck that was stuck even worst than anything shown online. I really thought I trashed my drill. But I used a cheap 10 inch Husky brand curved jaw locking pliers from Home Depot. I used the lower end of the drill handle as leverage and got it to turn and open the jaws again. I didnt notice any significant damage on the pliers either.
It wasn't clear but it looked like you were using an sds drill bit. If that was the case it's no wonder it got jammed, the jaws biting into the sds slots.
Correct my friend, I was using sds drill bit, no excuses there, could not find the right drill, used the wrong one for one job, and everything got stuck 😂 I learned my lesson that’s for sure!
