  • Wow, you are awesome this really helped!

  • nice help, saved me some £'s! thanks!

  • Thanks it saved a night time using milling machine without permission in university :)

  • that's very useful and ingenious.

  • The beautiful simplicity of your method can not be overstated, thankyou!

  • So simple when someone else thinks about it.

    I 'would never dream of putting a good drill in there.

  • Comment removed

  • what about it fucking with your drill bit??? most of the time it's not smart to bend drill bits out of being straight. how about just grabbing some scrap bar stock to use. i would NEVER use this method using one of my drill bits, if anything that's is the most stupid thing i've ever heard of doing. have fun with your wobbly drill bits that wont drill precisely.

  • Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  • i put a small rare earth magnet on my drill press as my "key home" its easy to find, easy to use and it never gets lost! but this is a great solution should the earth stop spinning and my key fell off and got lost!

  • This method will NOT damage the teeth at all! In fact this method is less damaging than using the actual chuck key! I used this method MANY times and it has NEVER hurt the teeth in the slightest! Don't hesitate to use this method, it won't hurt you chuck in the slightest.

  • Hahah, funny and useful! You just saved my electric guitar! :)

  • Actually this is tired workaround - get the the proper chuck key from McMaster Carr, MSC, etc. This method will damage the teeth on the chuck. Any machinist worth his salt would never do this. Only a shade tree mechanic would do this (or a shady one !), even then, only a drunk one.

  • ANOENANO!!!

  • Creative idea!

  • Great idea! I was lost without the chucks to my 2 1/2 drills. Got one at a hardware store that was crap. I'm back in action. Thanks!

  • thanks! saved the day.

  • Glad this was of help
