I inherited a not very old Milwaukee 3/8" variable speed drill (Corded) from my late father. Nice drill - but shortly after, the variable speed went away and it was just an on-off tool. I sent it in to Milwaukee for repair - they ended up sending me a brand new, very similar drill. Unlike the old one, this new one has a keyless chuck.
COOL! Thinks I.
Not so fast - unlike the many Makitas I've used over the years, this keyless chuck will NOT hold if there's much vibration or length of use - it just comes loose.
I'm about to just replace the chuck with a keyed Jacobs - but I do like the keyless feature. Any suggestions?
