DeWalt DW106 Type-2​

The DeWalt DW106 is a 3/8" variable speed reversing (VSR) drill with a keyless chuck.
Some bits slipping out, what's the fix? Thx guys

Crank it reeeeaaallll tight? Usually that only happens once, then when I rechuck the bit it stays. I think sometimes the hex bits don't tighten down on the flats, so they slip and come loose. I can't explain why the smooth shank bits do it too.

The drill is worth about $25 to 30
New chuck will fix the issue but it's about $25

Have two…absolute junk chucks
Looked into a decent Jacobs chuck but never followed up.

Much easier to just grab the Milwaukee hole shooter out of the drawer if I need something capable.

I had to change out a keyless chuck on a brand new Dewalt for that reason several years ago. It simply would not hold a bit. Tightened it as tight as I could. Bit would feel tight but come loose almost instantly when in use. Dewalt sent me a replacement chuck for free. I opted for a keyed chuck. It is the only keyless I ever owned that did that.

I don’t know the model but it is a Dewalt 3/8” corded drill. I bought it in 2014 or 2015.

You could try blasting it out with aerosol degreaser and compressed air . I used a ¼" round saw file in the chuck to make sure there were no hight spots in a Bosch drill chuck .
Annoying as it usually results in gouges in the drill shank ....and then they dont fit back in the box .......and look bad

works fine w/ Bosch 6 sided chuck for driver bits - grrrrrrrr

just ordered keyed chuck for $20 from Ebay , I really like my old Dewalt

 

[Jeff J]

I know what you mean. I grab mine anytime I have serious drilling to do and I have a place to plug it in.

You can get a good, medium duty Jacob’s for $50.

Cost less than a new drill after I throw the drill out of frustration…lol

Yeah maybe in the states but by the time I convert to NZ$ that is $95 , plus ,$50 to $75 for freight ( freight x US is probly the most expensive there is ....Italy is hight too )and Im over $150, and bought locally ......there is precious little if any to be saved .
The keyless chuck on my 18v Makita is still good after 20 odd years , press chuck needs all three holes tightened and I dont use the ( 240vac) Bosch any more coz I sick of wreaking good drill bits in it .

What are you drilling into ? Makes all the difference.......

Steel , but I think that particular keyless chuck is needing a hoozle up, it should be ok as its all steel but I think its time to take it apart for a clean and debur, shame coz otherwise its a good drill .

 

[flashback]

I wonder if you could dip the shank in lapping compound and polish the jaws?
