Hi all. I tried to use a Powercraft sds drill yesterday. Its my first time using such a tool and I'm not sure if its working correctly. When I inserted a chisel the sds chuck didn't seem to lock down on it. I'mpulling the 'collar' back..inserting the chisel and the collar slips forward again. But the chisel can be pulled out by hand. The chisel actually came with the drill in the case.
Is the chuck ****ed?

The collar is pulled back when removing the drill. To insert a bit, you need to rotate the bit as you try push it, until it lines up and clicks into place.
Read the fu***** instructions that came with it.

They can be a little sticky when new - The bit should lock in place and stay there, try pushing the bit in and rotating it until you feel it drop into place.
SDS chucks are fairly loose but once the bit is locked in it shouldn't come out until the catch is twisted.
You have to line the bits up correctly in order to insert them properly. I always forget how to do mine and I've had it years.
