Awesome. After two weeks of hand tools it’s nice to have a working drill back. Thank you.

KZfaq to the rescue, again!! Had this problem with a paddle bit and this gentleman provided just the right solution. Thank you kind sir.

Genius. Iv been trying all sorts for days and in the end it took 2 seconds to fix with the simplest method.. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your knowledge and video. I had the same problem with my Dewalt drill this week and after almost needing a skin graft for my hand I turned to research the possible problem and lucky I found your video. I did exactly how you demonstrated and it worked like charm…. THANK YOU!!!

I fought with it for an hour and then saw your video and It worked like a charm. You just saved me from buying a third drill. Thank you.

Can not thank you enough. I had two dewals hammer drills...haven't used them for 3 years and use makita hammer drill and rest of my tools are dewalt. THANKS TO YOU...just did what you showed...AND THEY BOTH WORK!!!

Thank you so much for this. I was worried I was gonna have to buy a new one but thanks to you and your vid, I'm able to continue my work

Thank you. I must admit, in the beginning I thought it couldn't be that easy, but as I was in search for a solution for that exact kind or problem, as I had a Robertson drive stuck in the Dewalt cordless drill chuck for three years now, I decided to give it a try. I don't know if I'd scared the hell out of the drill when I grabbed the hammer and swing it, but with the second hit, the drill was flying free. Thank you very much. You made my weekend and not because it's the only drill I have, I carry half a dozen of them because I keep forgetting where is the safe and secure place where I stored them, but for some rare reason I always end using this same drill with the Robertson drive... you know how the story goes, eh? Thank you very much and keep bringing on the tricks of the trade.

Gary... You gorgeous genius!!!! I've been neglecting taking my DCD771 apart for a little over a year now. I just watched your video, tried it and in two seconds it's working again. Thank you so much, you just saved me a hundred bucks on a new drill. Keep up the great work friend.

Thank you for this video. I have a Stanley Fatmax battery drill that has been so good for several years. The chuck jammed, I watched other videos first and used WD40 and wrenches which proved useless. Watched you video and one gentle tap of the hammer on a screwdriver and problem sorted THANK YOU

Worked immediately. Saved me a bunch of time, money and aggravation. Thanks a ton. Great video!

STAY BLESSED. Your cure for the jammed chuck worked like magic. I had a sweaty time trying to figure out why the Chuck was jammed, maybe something was broken or got misaligned and repairs would have been a looong head ache. Thanks a ton for a very simple and effective solution to an otherwise complex looking problem. But the sad thing is that it happens to a DEWALT, which I bought thinking it would be quality assured and 100% trouble free upto a reasonable time of usage. We DO live in an imperfect world 😀.

Absolutely brilliant, thank you. I have a 778, similar to the model you were working on, and your 'fix' worked first time around.

Thank you! My DeWalt chuck was so jammed. I felt like I was going to rip a pec straining to get my stuck bit out. Your method works like a charm. In fact, it felt too easy. Lol

worked perfectly. I had put this drill aside and was thinking of throwing away. Back in business. Thank you

Just tried your suggestion and the problem was fixed. Thanks again.

Fantastic! Thank you so much, after heaving and straining with brute strength (and failing), this worked a treat.

Thank you! I'm a single woman and definitely not mechanically inclined (more mechanically deficient and slightly afraid of power tools!) I tried your technique thinking I'd probably break my drill. It worked! Yay me! Yay you!

Wow, this worked. It was jammed and I can’t believe it. Thank you so much.

I tried all other methods and this was the simplest one that worked on tapping the second tooth on the chuck. Thank you big time mate!!!!!! I was going to buy a new drill as I was pissed off 😂 Milwaukee’s are not cheap.

Just wanna say thank you! Never would’ve thought about doing that, a few taps and my drill bit was out!

2023-06-28 .. im sitting in Canada searching for videos on how to replace the chuck ... mine is frozen and has a broken bit stuck in it that has been there for about 4 months. I hit it with a hammer.... Its fixed.. You sir... just saved me time and money

Thanks dawg, work like a charm. 30 sec, we went like this, he went like that, where did he go, Hollywood’s dead.

My partner has a lot of tools, so when he needed a circular saw, I ordered this one for him as a Christmas gift. kzfaq.infoUgkxYDKeIjKLOfcwTgdin7TtCutsz4MbIc43 He is incredibly happy with the purchase. He stated that he likes that it is powerful, but still easy to use and cuts very well. He mentioned that it is important to know the right tools for the job at hand, and this compact saw has been exactly what he needed for a variety of projects at his rental properties and renovations. He also appreciates the battery packs, as stated, he owns a lot of DEWALT tools, so he is able to always keep batteries charged as needed.

Saved my butt after watching hours of other videos. Thank you

First vid that came up for same issue. 60 seconds later And I've got my drill back You are awesome

It's obvious I'm not the only one who has had this problem! Great advice - thanks Gary.

THANK YOU ! I had given up and ordered a new chuck. Guess I'll keep that one for a spare. The old one works like new after following your instructions. Couldn't be happier. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊

Good one Gary! This worked on my cheapo Parkside (Lidl) drill which was still under warranty - I'm sure I would got a refund but I have several batteries so really needed😃 a replacement rather than a refund. Bottle wrench strap from the kitchen also helped. Win, win, thanks again Gary.

Jammed when tightening a drill bit too hard 🙈... This worked! ... One firm tap 💥 ... Thank you for posting this video 👍

Gary, just fixed my dad’s drill thanks to your advice. Much appreciated and happy holiday

It worked! The problem was a nasty nightmare for days. Thank you very much.

Thanks Sir...i just did what you showed and mines is working now. IM FROM BELIZE 🇧🇿

TY worked like a charm! Just hammered it one time and the bit came out

Thanks! I have THREE DeWalt drills in the van with bits stuck in them and just fixed all three!!!! Legend!

I got the exact same issue w dewalt atomic compact 20v 2ah your fix worked instantly. thank you!

Have one on the go since 2000. Still going strong.only reconed the batteries.one of the original pro series. Bullet proof

Ahh thank you very much Sir! Fix took about 5 mins with some WD-40 and some gentle persuasion with my claw hammer but it appears that all is now well. Thanks again!!

It worked ! My chuck has been seized for ages, thanks for this great tip 😀👍

I have 2 and I put my second on the shelf after having this issue and kind of forgot about it saw this when I was looking up another issue with my impact driver and tried this boom, back in service thank you

All DIY’s need your clarity and your beautiful accent.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! I was not able to rls a drill bit using the “screwdriver” method, BUT by tapping lightly with a hammer, directly on the three teeth of the chuck worked like a champ.

worked for me! 10 second fix after an hour of struggle, thanks very much!

Just ran into this myself. Worked a treat ! Lifesaver 👍🏻

Amazing - this worked perfectly! Thanks for the sharing this fix Gary!

Nice one. Worked perfectly. Wish I'd seen this video before I trashed my last cordless drill trying to use pliers.

And a year later it still works, thank you! I did have to use a strap wrench because my hands are a little old now but, worked fantastically!

Thanks for help. The chuck on my dewalt DCD790 had become increasingly difficult to operate and finally I got a drill bit that would not come out. I used your method and the bit came out. I then sprayed WD40 and ran the chuck in and out multiple times. Drill works great now!

Yes! This did the trick for me as well. I was getting so frustrated. Thank you!

I wanted to thank you for this video. I have a 25 year old dewalt that the bit was stuck and I it would not be worth it. After seeing this I freed it up and flooded it with penetrating oil and ran it in and out forever while adding more fluid and wiping it all off and I have my gun back. I was not prepared to replace it just now so thank you.....

Thanks a bunch! My Dewalt also got stuck, and this method worked just perfect👌

Thank-you. My drill was stuck too. I tried this and it worked perfect. 😊

You’re BRILLIANT!!! 😃 Your trick worked like a charm. Thank you, my good sir!!! ❤️

My hero!! This is really frustrating sooo with your help it now works! Thanks.....

Thanks man! Pilot drill stick. Tried grips and everything. Tapped the end of my drill with a driver and a mallet. Solved .awesome

Didn’t know what to do, simple instructions worked perfectly

thank you so very much, I did exactly what you shown and it worked for me, Saved my Ryobi drill that i just bought second hand last week

This genuinely saved my days work today thank you

Thank you so much for this!!! Solved the problem in no time flat

Hey dude tried your technique took several times but kept working around it and it popped out. Thank you

Thanks Gary! Worked a treat

My man! Worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch

THANK YOU.... my chuck was locked... now my DeWalt works again.

You're a lifesaver!! Worked like a charm -Thanks!

Cheers Gary, this worked a treat

thanks for the video, I tried this and it worked like a charm, thanks again

Worked like a charm!! Lol I’ve trying to loosen my chuck for months

Worked for me and got my drill back up and running. Thank you.

Fantastic video tip. Saved me from stripping it down. Thank you.

Fixed my stuck chuck in 30 seconds. Thank you!!

This worked for me first time, thanks so much 😊

Worked like a charm. I appreciate your advice.

Thanks for being quick and to the point. This worked for me.

Niiiiiiiiiiice! I fixed two of them thanks to this vid. One was stuck for over 3 years.

Worked first go , thank you Gary legend

Watch several videos this the only one which work instantly ….Thank you!

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

The very first time using this Dewalt drill, it jammed on me. Can't get the bit out. I'll try this. No more Dewalt. Thank you.

Thanks for the hot tip. Worked like a charm.

I tried your method and it worked right away. Must be a defect in design for so many to have the same issue.

Thanks for this quick fix. Saved the day

Dude, thanks for the tip. Worked great on my Hart.

Thanks dude! 😁👍 you really help me with that problem 🫶 my brother shouted me because of that problem after I used his tools 😂🤣 LOVE from Philippines 🇵🇭

Thanks a lot. Tried both methods. Tapping the chuck then the teeth. Freed them up.

Excellent video, thank you so much! It worked after a few hearty taps of the hammer.

PERFECT, IT WORKED. ***THANK YOU! Just a light tap and I'm back on schedule.

Omg!! Thank you !! You're awesome you saved me a headache! So easily explained. Did it with your help 😍.

Hooray!! Your video saved my drill!

Your a legend ! Thank you. Mine was stuck for months. It was annoying. Cheers Buddy, if I ever see you about I'll buy you a couple of drinks lol. 🍺

Thanks mate, you saved my drill from being scrapped. My drill is a Worx corded hammer drill rather than a DeWalt but it had the same issue and the same solution worked. I had tried a number of methods that I found on KZfaq but nothing was working. I was just looking at buying a new drill when the algorithm pushed this video at me. So I got out my trusty Thor Hammer and one of my grandad's old automotive screwdrivers and five minutes later I was throwing the bit in my recycling tray and working the chuck backwards and forwards to make sure it wasn't damaged. If it does this to me again I might think about putting a better chuck on it but it looks like I am keeping the drill for a while longer.

My goodness. That was easy and I'm a girl! Thank you! Tapped twice, and it let go of my jammed bit!

Thanks it. I was struggling with stuck chuck. This method worked for me. It took only hammer hits and chuck opened.

Brilliant. Works perfectly - thank you.

Beauty!! You saved me the scorn of my coworkers. Much appreciated!! 🔥

Works like a charm. Thanks a lot Sir!

Worked like a champ!

This worked instantly! One little tap with a hammer + flat head screw driver right into one of the chucks.

Worked like a charm! Thank you

Thanks! I figured this was too simple to work, but two quick taps on each of the teeth and presto, the chuck was free after being jammed for a month.

A lifesaver! I hadn't even begun the job and the chuck wouldn't open! Thank you Gary!
