    How to Change a Drill Chuck

    The chuck in my AEG drill no longer holds and needs replacing. It is the old style that needs a chuck to tighten and loosen it.

    As the drill shaft has a slot in it to hold it still I have been able to unscrew the old chuck - no problems there.

    I also have a real old Skil drill that has the same size chuck on it so to save about $40 I would like to put that chuck on the AEG. However the Skil does not have any slots on the drill shaft to hold it with a spanner. It does not have a locking screw inside like more modern cordless drill chucks.

    So does anyone know how to hold the Skil drill shaft to stop it turning so I can unscrew the chuck??

    Thanks

    You have to open the drill, remove.the selector and select the high and low at the same time or hold the shaft from inside.

    Assuming the Skil is a single speed non-reverse drill, put the chuck key in one of the holes and tap it sharply against the direction of rotation. Also if you dismantle the drill you can clamp the armature with soft jaws to stop it turning.

    For Christ's sake. You can buy a new drill for $40. I can't sell good quality Czech or German chucks for the price of a Chinese drill.

    Well you buy one then - my garage has a few dead cheap drills whereas the AEC is top quality - nearly 30 years old and still runs great just needs a chuck which I have on another old drill that was going to the tip. These are not 10mm drills but much larger.

    If I can transfer the chucks for no cost then I can spend the $40 on something else. As a pensioner I need to count my pennies.

    Thanks to everyone else for more positive comments and advice.

    Could it be that the chuck is on a taper and not a thread....
