If you own one, you know that there is no drill chuck key. The chuck is designed to be tightened or looesened by hand. I have been pleased with the drill, but lately it has become difficult to hold the chuck thru part of the cycle while loosening or tightening the chuck to hold a drill bit or a screw driver . I've sprayed it with silicone and applied some light oil. That has helped somewhat, but the chuck is still difficult to hold the chuck with your hand thru the entire tightening or loosening cycle. Anybody else have this problem? Any solutions? Thanks, Joe

They tell you not to run the motor to tighten or loosen the chuck. Maybe years of doing that has worn the chuck out. Might be time for a new one. Be sure to remove the cap screw holding the chuck to the gun. I broke mine.

What a novel concept. You don't suppose it'll catch on do you?
