Great video. And I love it when a pro also shows when things go awry, like they usually do for me. Unlike many other videos that only show best/perfect case scenarios (This Old House)

Excellent video for us newbie's. Thank you for always explaining these small details in layman's terms.

After years of drill bits slipping in the chuck I finally bought the Milwaukee drill bit kit with the driver ends.It is more expensive,but no more slipping.And you can use these bits in your driver drill.I recommend anyone thinking about buying a new driver drill to get one with variable speed technology.There are 3 speeds in which the driver will perform at.Many times a bit will come off the screw while at a higher speed,but at a slower speed not so much.

I was having trouble, watched this video, and it nothing worked. Then I realised my drill was in reverse. Doh.

Thanks!

Thank you

Cool thanks

Good video. Question: My drill bits are round. What are the type drill bills called that have multiple flat sides on the portion that goes in the chuck? I'm assuming will stop drill bits from coming out of the chuck. Thanks!!

Good advice

Problem is that my drill bit is stuck in the wood but did not break off. The chuck simply started slipping once the drill was deep inside the wood. I tried to remove and re-tighten the drill onto the bit that is protruding but it just keeps slipping. I tried sticking double sided tape on the bit for the chuck to have a better grip but it did nothing. I'm no left with trying to wiggle it out but it hardly moves. It is difficult to get a good grip on it since it's on a vertical timber. Maybe patient wiggling will eventually pull it out.

I have had this same issue with dewalt, porter cable battery powered, and a ryobi electric drill. I drilsl in ok, and try toback out and the bit comes out.

Dude i put the hex key in the drill and i tightened the chuck and when i tried to rotate the hex key the chuck start to rotate with hex and there was no resistance

I don't use a drill driver that much. I tried to drill in two pieces of wood and both were 2"×4". I tried to drill in to make a pilot hole and drill bit went smoothly into the woods but when I tried to reverse it to get the drill bit out from the hole and I got stuck so the drill driver couldn't hold on to the drill bit so it always slipped off.

I used my drill as a saw... keeps slipping... then I realized it was in reverse... when in reverse the screw holding the chuck tends to loosen and ends up detaching the chuck from the drill... very scared at that time...

I've broken many, many drill bits. But I don't think I've ever had one bend. Maybe a masonry bit bent once.

Did you you lock the chuck? Look up how to lock a drill chuck. It helps.

The reversal of the left hand threads is so weird my brain explodes trying to loosen and tighten them.

Stop wrong information you need to tie the shock all the way really tie and back up the shock a quarter turn that would lock the bit

What a clown, dude your wrong
