How do i remove the s***w in a drill?

Question

Whenever i try to remove the s***w it either sounds like its stripping the s***w. I know it is backwards in a drill. Righty loosey Lefty Tighty.

The s***w inside of the chuck.

Answer 1

lefty loosey, righty tighty this works better

Answer 2

I have to agree with sophie except that the s***w in the chuck is called a hex headed chuck s***w. It takes an hex (sometimes called an allen) wrench to remove. I have never seen one with a phillips head on it as it would tighten down over time and strip out when you tried to remove it. Unless someone replaced the hex headed chuck s***w with a different s***w... Anyways take what fits and follow her directions.

Answer 3

Right tighty  Left loosey what sort of kindergarden taught you that c**p.

If the chuck is removable take it of and push the s***w out if not loose the chuck to maximum and it should fall out if not pry it with a screwdriver.You obviously store your drill with loose screws in the same box so it may have just lodged there by accident, Try and store them seperatly from now on.

Answer 4

sophie is spot on!!

Answer 5

wrap the chuck with a shop towel, hold with waterpump pliers, take out s***w,,righty loosey

to take off chuck...

Answer 6
