So my drill has been frozen open for almost 4 years. Anyone I talked to said it would be too expensive to fix and I might as well get a new drill. I stopped researching the issue after 2 years because I never found a video or note that would help my situation. This fixed it immediately. I could give you a big ol'kiss for making this video, thank you so much!

Man this guy is a life saver, spent hours online looking for video tutorials, then turned out for my model it would cost more than the drill itself to get repaired . Only for this video to fix it in 3 seconds

Absolutely brilliant , fixed in seconds , I thought I was gona have to remove the chuck. If you wear gloves and use low speed there is no need for a vice grips. Thank you . This is what KZfaq is all about , helping people

Thanks. My drill was also stuck and I assumed it needed repair. I have just unlocked it after watching your video. Thanks

You’re a lifesaver, man. Seems like no one on the internet knows this solution, but for you.

Amazing! After hours of youtube searches, this was exactly what we needed. Worked on my 20V Black & Decker immediately! Thank you!

You fixed it! Not only did you save me a dreaded trip to tool repair, I now know what to do if this happens on a job. Thanks Don. You the man!

I'm laughing 😂so hard right now. I think it was about a year ago that I had the same issue. I obliviously had the same issue, Because I watched your entire Video. You only watch the whole video when you know the person is on the right track. You saved me twice thank you.

fixed my dewalt that was brand new this guy, i skipped over the video spending hours looking at non sense. AND FINALLY CLICKED ON HIS AND MY BRAND NEW DEWALT IS FIXED . IM SO HAPPY THIS GUY SAVED MY LIFE

I tried to use a hex driver like another video showed me, and it didn’t work. This worked immediately. Thank you!!

Thank you so much. I’ve had same problem w a Dewalt DCD777 and following your video it fixed mine. After looking at my model # on Dewalt’s site & KZfaq vids looked like the only way to fix was buy a new chuck w gear box. Chuck on this model is not removable from gear box. Thanks again for a simple way to fix this drill. Saved me from having to buy a new drill.

Your guide worked to free recessed jaws on my DEWALT DCD985 just as you explained. Thank you VERY much!

you are a star mate I tried everything and your fix worked,Hello from England

I never sign in. But I did to say thanks for being a straight forward reliable dude who solved my problem. More views and money in ur pocket sir.

Hi Don, Youi are Awesome ! After watching you I fixed my drill in 2 seconds.

This worked for my dewalt drill when I thought I might have to replace or repair it. I also added a tiny bit of oil afterwards to help things keep things moving smoothly once freed up. Drill is now working great. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I've spent 2 hours trying to find that out I looked on the instructions and all couldn't figure it out. Thank you Anderson

Soaked my Makita LDXF0 chuck in WD40 all morning. Tapped it a bunch. Used locking vise grips and an old shirt. Freed up! Thanks and thumbs up 👍

After hours trying to solve exactly the same problem with my DeWalt DCD996 drill I have found this video!!! Thanks a lot Don, you saved my day!!!!

I have wasted lot of time on this, But this man has solved my issue instantly. Amazing and Great Man. Very good technique

Thank you so much for this video! I was working on a house project and locked the chuck and had no idea how to fix it. I tried your method and it worked right away. Thanks again!!!

Thanks much! I was fiddling with my Hilti SF 6H-A22 for about 30 minutes(searching online as well) and stumbled on to your video. Tried your method by hand and it worked! Did not even need pliers. Was about to send it in for repair. Cheers!

Thank you worked for my Black n decker 18 volt. I didn’t see you mention but to get it to move in the correct direction make sure you set it for clockwise direction like you are screwing something in.

You're a life saver. I mucked with this for quite a while until I got the bright idea of looking online for a fix. It took me 1 minute to find your video, and another minute to fix my drill. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. I have a Dewalt hammer drill and mine got stuck. You got straight to the point. So glad I found you. Didn’t have to listen to where you bought it bla bla bla. ❤️

Great advice! Worked well for my Makita hp1621 drill. Thanks!

This fixed my dad's drill. Thanks for saving me a whooping!

Watched 4-5 videos before I came across this. Worked like a charm, thank you Don!!!

Thanks again, Don! Got the TID-18/PDC-18 combo and the chuck was stuck. It didn't take the wrench, but your method undid it right away. Great combo, by the way, and great service and support!

Got a brand new drill as a present, but couldn't move the chuck, you fixed it in second, thank you so much for this video!)

Simple instructions to solve an annoying problem. Thanks.

This is the the only technique that worked on my DeWalt drill. Thank you!

After watching other videos trying th Other techniques nothing was working, I was frustrated until I came across your video & thought if this one doesn't work Im giving up. Let me tell you after I watched your video & tried this it worked like a charm on the first try. Thank you for this helpful video! Much appreciated.

Thank you good sir I was worried I couldn't finish my jobs for work but it saved me hassle and stress

Thank you. Got my drill working after 3 years, glad I did not throw it away

worked on my brand new dewalt hammer drill combo, just used a small vice instead of wrenching on it. all the 'dewalt' videos were completely worthless. thank you good sir you saved my tuesday

somebody give this man a medal

Thanks for showing how to fix it so simply & clearly. Solved my problem straight away.

Worked for my drill. Neighbour borrowed it (Bosch GSR 18V-85C), but his 14 yr old son decided he knew how to use it, and did exactly as you suggested: used the motor to open the jaws, held it too long, and they jammed at max expansion. (Denied he touched it at all, of course. 😑) Followed your advice, and it's back to normal. Thanks! 👍

You're a lifesaver! I watched 10 useless videos before this one. Thank you so much

Thanks for such an idea I feel so satisfied after I try what you did on my drill and it works!

Worked for my ryobi that was stuck, thanks man. I used the cloth and pliers to force the chuck to loosen, now its working normally!. Thanks!

You saved my life, sir! I borrowed a friend's drill and the same thing happened to me. This video saved me a few hundred euros. Be blessed.

Thank you sir been in the trades for 16 years now and recently noticed this problem with opening the drill two fast all the way for a hole saw. And it no longer will losen until you reset it by tightening all the way Thank you!! Cheers from Canada

My carpenter had this problem today and I showed him your video and we fixed it. He would like to send his sincere thanks 👍

This wasn't my issue but this realized what my problem was. Stupid ass mistake really... was late and wasn't thinking. Decided to share in case someone else isn't thinking. I was turning it wrong way. It was stuck open and I was turning it towards "Release" thinking I have to release it. Actually made the problem worse. After a good night sleep and watching this video made me realize what I was doing.

Works like magic on my Metabo drill. Very good expensive chuck got stuck all the way open. Thank you friend.

Thanks. I had the same problem on my B&D drill. I just popped it like you showed. Perfect!

You have just saved me lots of anxiety. Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou. Worked on black and decker drill.

Many many thanks for the tip. It did solve mine and also saved me from anxiety

Thank you! I was about to throw my drill away thinking it was done,then I saw your video and problem solved.

You Sie are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you!

This video saved my ass at work. I was able to fix the drill we ruined plus an old one that was given up on.

Quick, easy, and most importantly it WORKED! Thank you, sir.

Bought a brand new drill and thought it was broken. THANK YOU !!!!!

I knew there had to be an easy way to do this. Got lucky and came across this. You saved my day!

Thank you very much sir, such an easy fix! Worked first time on my DeWalt dcd996. I actually remember opening the chuck in gear 3 as you mention . I thought I had jammed it and DeWalt don't cover the chuck under warranty!

Thank you so much. I thought I broke my drill and your video helped me fix it. I appreciate you putting it out there.

Straight to the point, no messing. Good tip.

OMG THANK YOU!!! totally thought i'd really bugged things up good and was going to have to pay out the nose or get a new drill. found a handful of other videos on how to replace or fix different parts. but yours was the first to actually describe the problem i was having. thanks again!

Worked on my DeWalt 20V hammer drill.....thanks. I didn’t need a sledgehammer after all.

Worked for my dewalt just now....your a lifesaver...never knew this before! Big thanks!!!!

Thank you, Sir! I just had this problem with my brand new DeWalt drill and this fixed it. Thought I’d have to take it back to the store.
