Maybe I'll try and order the part.
I can understand a certain satisfaction in getting something broken to work again. But a chuck? Don't you have chores to do or something?

I actually have a new chuck in the drill and have been using it all summer. I still ahve the pieces on my bench and they look at me reproachfully. I thought you all were being kept awake at night wondering the outcome of this project.

Jeepers guys, I thought we could all bond over tools.

Oh. My bad. Lessee.

I have a Sears 1/4" power drill that I've had for 25 years now. It still works great, but I'm thinking one of those keyless chucks sounds good. Anyone use one? Can I retrofit one to the Sears drill I've got?

I'm thinking he's starting to drag this project out a bit.

trolled the local pawnshop last night and passed several >20 drills, many of which were the characteristic red/black of the Milwaukee brand. I bet you can find a whole rig, for parts, for cheap at a pawnshop.

I used to check out local pawnshops, but the prices were always far higher than they should be, and the stuff was real beat up. I avoid pawnshops now.

I used to do internal tech support for a pawn shop corporation. Roughly 99% of all tools in a pawn shop are stolen from worksites by laborers.

99% is a pretty rough figure. Had they been accurate I bet they could narrow that down to 99.5%
