As B and D own dewalt are their chucks as bad as the B and D ones . I have been using regular keyed chucks all my life and tightening then the same way as keyless chucks are today . This is fine so long as a very high torque is required then the chuck will slip.No problem as in cases such as this one can easily resort to the chuck key [ if you can find it].
Seems to me the BandD chucks slip at lower torque levels and of course one cannot revert to the chuck key . The question is is their a replacement for the crappy plastic chucks and secondly does anyone else experience these same problems ...mjh
