I can't think of the last time I grabbed a corded drill. I thing the trick to getting a tight hold on the bit is to use high speed and a firm grip while locking the bit. Could it be that your keyless is broken/defective?

No! Not even!!
I don't like keyless..

I want a corded, 3/8, reversible, with a key.
And I have done that
WFO slam on the Chuck..
Phhht,
I started off being nice, just cranking on it by hand, but they get loose in mere seconds,

Too late on the corded drill. SIL went to town with channel locks. I tried to get the set screw out to swap it for a keyed chuck, I guess I will try again.. And if I twist it off, meh, so what? Eh?

I believe that there are good and bad keyless chucks.

I have several different drills - but only 2 with keyless chucks. One is my Bosch battery drill that is 15 years old - the other one is a Milwaukee 1/2" drill......these keyless chucks work very well.

I did have a DeWalt drill with a keyless chuck that did not work well, and it was replaced under warranty.....but it never did work all that well. I may have one or two of those keyless chucks around.......if I do you are welcome to be the new owner of them.

I bet if you bought this......it would be the last 3/8" drill you buy in your lifetime.

MY wife bought me a Dewalt cordless,keyless 6 years ago . It's 1/2" , reversible , hammer drill , setting for screws (tork)

It is powerful enough to "wrench" itself out of my hands or spin me on my butt if its on high tork setting.

Anyway the keyless part works great and ya don't have to hold one ring while ya tighten the other ring.

It was over $300.oo but its still works and it gets used at least once a week unless I'm on a ride somewhere. Wink

I have several other cordless , keyless , 3/8" , lighter-weight drills (3) for running nuts and bolt , working on vehicles and running screws for hanging pictures and such . They are handy but they aren't real work-horses like the big ~~Clidadale~~ Dewalt is

Harbor Freight has a 12volt cordless/keyless with a triangle looking battery that tightens up good and ya don't have to hold one ring while ya tighten the other one. Extra batteries are only $20.oo . The one I have is Blueish/black . I have one from Wal-mart Tough something 18Volt , but ya have to hold one ring while tightening the other and its light weight but a good nut-runner. It hold the bit good.

Perhaps the newer ones have "Fine" threads on the keyless and the older ones had "Course" threads on the keyless chucks. Undecided
