Good rapid chuck for the price. Bought three, one for me and two for my dad. Holds well and easy to use.
The ones I got were all metal and knurled. I have two dewalt drills and I have one for each and have the same problem with both.First off, the one in the picture is not the one you get. I still have had good luck with dewalt and will continue to buy their stuff. I used a craftsman with a craftsman drill for a long time and had no problems. This isn't too bad of a quick change chuck, but I have had some problems with mine. (no big deal) The big problem that I have are my bits sometimes fall out when I point the drill down (on both of them). I suppose maybe I just got a couple of bad ones. It seems that the ball inside gets stuck and you have to hit it on a hard surface to get it to dislodge.
I got this years ago with my 9.6v DeWalt cordless drill (no longer sold). Why do manufacturers take something good, change it, and risk making it bad. It still works but tends to fall out of the keyless chuck. I'd like to get a new one, but have doubts about the new version of this.
This chuck is extraordinarily easy to use with one hand, in contrast to many similar products where you need one to push down the collar and another to pull the bit out. Highly recommended. This one has a small spring that coaxes the bit out far enough that it's free of the keeper but still in the chuck and easy to change.
This item lacks the "rubber finger grips for comfortable use" that is in the product description, and is also physically different from the picture shown here. See my uploaded pic for what item actually looks like.
