Useful item to increase electric screwdriver versatility. Especially valuable for those who have an electric screwdriver with torque control but their drill lacks torque control.
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.
If you plan to do anything that involves applying much force to the tool, likedrilling metal, get a more durable chuck adapter. 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 arenot very closely machined, you can get up to a quarter inch (). of wobble at the end of an average sized bit. Or a "real"drill.Obviously my needs have exceeded this tool, so I'll be buyingsomething more durable to replace it. You can sometimescoax this down by playing with the second threaded part that holdsthe tool together, or use a short bit, but if you are looking tobe precise, you'll find this rather unusable.This lasted me two years and made it through a good amount ofabuse, but that said, mine just broke -- the shaft is not made ofthe best metal they could have used.
This is a simple, basic lightweight chuck. It works perfectly with the "quick-change" type chuck on the screwdriver. My power screwdriver [which is just a screwdriver not a drill/driver]has a setting for drilling pilot holes and this seems suited for that use. The seller's name says it all Hobby Tool Supply. It is NOT intended for heavy/construction/industrial use. There were no problems with the transaction; the seller shipped the item very quickly. It works for light jobs but if you need it to build a house, pay $25+ and buy one of the more conventional ones sold on ebay.
i took it apart then put it back together and it started to wobble. get a better one so that you don't have to spend again. it may work fine for you but i would not recommend this product.
