Andrew: I've started looking at McMaster catalog and there are a bunch of
keyless chucks to choose from. I've got three other keyless chucks, one
on
a makita cordless and haven't had any problems with them so I was
surprised
to experience the "auto loosen" feature found in the Sears units. Yep
after
dropping drill bits from on top of the roof and having to get all the way
down to retrieve it, I'm going to switch rather than fight.
The thing that caught my attention the most is the "run around" I received
when I voiced my complaint to Sears. All they would have had to do was
thank me and tell me they were assigning the problem to someone; blow some
smoke up my butt and I would have left thinking that Sears really sup****ts
their customer. But no
Well there are other tool sources.
