 Small but Surprisingly UsefulOct 17, 2007
By Christian
"infynity"
I bought this for my "Yankee" style auto-return screwdriver that takes standard quarter inch bits so I could turn it into a push drill. At first I was worried that, due to its smaller size, it wouldn't have the grip necessary to hold medium to large drill bits without them spinning in the chuck's teeth, but it has a surprisingly strong "grab". I don't know how well it'd work for tools that could generate much more torque, such as a brace-type hand powered driver but I suspect it'd work fine.
The only drawback, which is a minor one, is that the whole "head" of the chuck rotates on the post to tighten/loosen the jaws, so it has to be in a tool if you want to insert or remove a bit from the chuck.

 if your serious about your tools, this is not for you.Feb 22, 2009
By H. Mendez
"Do it right everytime even if it takes a little longer"
I needed one of these chucks for my impact driver for some of the rare occasions that I forget my drill, so not wanting to spend much for something that I use once and a while I decided to go with the cheapest option, when I received it Knew it wasn't good, however I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, first time I used it I over tight it (with my hand only) deforming the little plate inside causing drill bit to wobble pretty bad, now it's kind of useless cause usually when you are drilling you do so in a predispose location and you need some exactitude, anyways this is not a good chuck to buy if you are serious about your tools, I got what I paid for, I usually read the negative reviews first cause it gives you a better understanding of where a tool can fail, I did it when I bought this chuck, but instead of following the advice of the guys who give it 2-3 stars I trusted the guy who gave it 5 stars and now I'm screwed, but oh well I'll try the DeWalt now...

 Lightweight use only and not for precisionOct 26, 2008
By skids
If all you want to do is drill holes in wood or plastic and
don't need them exact, this is a very convenient piece to own.
Due to the way it rests on the tightener threads, which are
not very closely machined, you can get up to a quarter inch (!)
of wobble at the end of an average sized bit. You can sometimes
coax this down by playing with the second threaded part that holds
the tool together, or use a short bit, but if you are looking to
be precise, you'll find this rather unusable.
This lasted me two years and made it through a good amount of
abuse, but that said, mine just broke -- the shaft is not made of
the best metal they could have used. If you plan to do
anything that involves applying much force to the tool, like
drilling metal, get a more durable chuck adapter. Or a "real"
drill.
Obviously my needs have exceeded this tool, so I'll be buying
something more durable to replace it.

 Really weak - a little better than a toyJul 15, 2008
By asb4859
I previously had a Makita chuck that failed and decided to try this Skil keyless chuck based on other reviews. Received it very quickly...but the product is not designed for anything where you care about precision. I tried three bits (small to medium diameter) and there is so much wobble in the bits that you must first put the bit on the wood with pressure in order to try to hit a mark. Not recommended.

By merv
i took it apart then put it back together and it started to wobble. it may work fine for you but i would not recommend this product. get a better one so that you don't have to spend again.
