Pillar drill keyless chucks

Any recommendations for a good 16mm keyless chuck for a pillar drill . 2 Morse taper. I was never happy with the one that came with the drill. It was always difficult to locate the drill bit and now it has started to slip


Why a keyless chuck for a pillar drill? Surely just always place the key in the same place or attach it by a chain.

Keyless chucks are bad news. They can't be tightened enough and slip causing wear on the chuck. Eventually they won't grip small drills at all.

I find a heavy duty industrial keyless chuck much better than keyed, much quicker change when using pilot then right size then countersink for instance

I can see you have never used a quality keyless clutch or you would not say that.

... but what has all this to do with chucking pillockless peed crutches?
