Drill Chuck Slippage

[Stocker Steve]

I have one that does not stay tight after you drill a couple holes. Any tips here?

reglure chuck or quick chuck

on regular chuck I lightly tap with a hammer with key in all three holes. quick chucks it helps if you bits have one flat side. I try to buy them that way if not a pass or 2 on the belt sander will flatten them enough for the jaws to bite.

Quick ho chuck

For the keyless ones I stick it in the jaws of the vice and give it a quick hit on the trigger. Never have had one come loose after that. Of course then you need the vice to get the bit back out by goosing it backwards.

Last time I tried that on a fully charged cordless drill, it snapped the bit in half.
My "quick" reflex ain't what it used to be I guess..

Why would you have the bit anywhere near the vice. The chuck is all you want to tighten. Before I got the nack for it I almost broke my wrist a time or two.

Bit was in the chuck--chuck slipped slipped out of the vice.
