I've read that this may slip in the chuck. Would some teflon tape around the top help secure it in the chuck so it doesn't spin?

I've used this in 2 Milwaukee Drills a 30 year old 1/2 inch corded drill with a chuck key and a cordless M18 Fuel. In the corded drill it slipped when it hit a small root, I re-tightened the chuck and it went through and continued to drill another 8 holes without slipping. In the M18 fuel that does not have a chuck key it has never slipped 30+ holes. I would not worry about using Teflon tape. Doug

It might help some, and it wouldn't hurt to try it, but I flattened the round shaft in 3 areas, so it would hold better in the chuck, but the shaft is made of aluminum, and mine eventually spun and sheared off. I was drilling some holes in pretty dense ground, and when the end of the shaft sheared off, it wasn't a big deal. I just reinserted the shaft and continued drilling with a shaft that was about an inch shorter. The auger worked fine, was cheap enough, and saved me a lot of time.

Yes, that is how the arbor and chuck are seated. I know it sounds insecure, but remember, all the pressure when you are drilling is in a direction that further secures this arrangement. I haven't found there to be any tendency for the arbor and chuck to become loose.

Sometimes, I have to twist it a bit to stop the leaking. It works like other locking chucks.

It will not grip as tight, but it will work so long as you pay attention to where you are chucking. Better to get a bit for this drill

I would not trust tape. If the bit were to catch the jig it would be disaster. Check out some of the videos on YouTube of the jig in use.

Hi Karen. Open the chuck and remove the screw in the center of the chuck and then put the allen into the chuck and tighten the chuck. You then lay the drill on a counter and then strike the allen wrench counter clockwise, the chuck and allen must turn counter clockwise at the same time. It might be tight so be persistant. You can do this. hoped this helped Bill.

Truthfully, I do not know. I am so disappointed in other parts of this item that I just gave to my husband and have not picked it up again. There is no way to tighten the chucks so they wabble.

I had the same problem, my spindle with a morse taper was fine but my chuck was siezed The new chuck fit great with one tap of the rubber mallot, and works great and has not come loose. I hope this helps.

I placed a rubber mat under mine. This keeps it from sliding around. My issue was it developed cracks overnight on one side after treating it with cutting board oil before my first use.

My sis-in-law's unit came with the chuck assembly not fully bedded (not installed) thus when you twisted the chuck to open it, it wouldn't. I had to reinstall it by pressing down on it firmly but once it was fixed the chuck opens when you twist clockwise (with the bit insertion hole facing you) to letter "R" and then you insert the bit then twist counter-clockwise back to "S". The unit didn't come with any instructions but they emailed it a few days after I received it. Would've been nice had they emailed it right after it was ordered. If you haven't received the instructions, reach out to the seller or leave your email and I'll be happy to forward them to you.

It might be troublesome. The "bottom" of the spindle wouldn't be enclosed so when you brace it to pull it off it could tip the roll out. It would be super annoying. Can u mount it on an angle? 40 degrees would probably alleviate the problem significantly. Good luck!

As the others pointed out, you need to be square to the stem and apply with firm pressure but it'll hold on good, if you let it go and move the hose around too much it'll leak air but to be honest, I've never seen a 'hands free' chuck that was 100% leak free. I generally don't clamp it on, I hold the lever on the chuck in the open position with my thumb, push down to get my reading and operate the inflate/deflate lever with the other hand. The operation is quick and simple, so to me it's hardly worth messing around with locking it on. It is worth it - I wouldn't want to be without it.

Take drill bits with square ends to lock in chuck. Straight bits will not work

Never had that issue with mine. I know it came with packaging to prevent it from slipping during shipping - might have slipped into the mechanism. Wish I could help more...

I have had this happen. I insert a small screwdriver inti the barrel along side the cork to keep it from spinning. It comes right out.

I use mine all the time. Works great as a drill and impact driver. The chuck locks in just like any other attachment for the driver mine catches just fine. Unless I'm not understanding your question.

Absolutely, and a real great feature, the shanks of the larger bits have flats that will allow you Chuck to hold much better than on a round shaft. That is nice for people who can't grip the Keyless chucks tightly. All chucks have 3 jaws now and these bits will not slip.
