Ready to ShipA keyless drill chuck refers to a clamp fixed at the end of a drill that is used to hold the drill bit in place. This specific drill piece eliminates the need for a key to aid in the tightening and loosening of bits. Standard keyless drill chucks are popular and are often used in handheld drills.
Generally, there are a few different types of keyless chucks for drills, including the standard drill chuck, which is commonly used in various types of power tools, such as the hand drill. Generally, the standard drill chuck has three jaws that grip the drill bit. To loosen or tighten a drill bit, one merely turns the outer sleeve.
Modern drills now use the better version of the standard keyless drill chuck, known as the automatic drill chuck. As the name suggests, it automatically tightens the drill bit. When the drill is in use, the friction produced causes the bit to tighten, eliminating the need for manual adjustment. This is convenient and improves efficiency. While the automatic drill chuck is similar to the standard keyless drill, it has a smoother and more contoured appearance. This smooth design is aesthetically pleasing and often results in a lighter-weight drill chuck.
Integrally, the three-jaw keyless drill chuck is manufactured with three separate gripping jaws, which typically move in unison. As mentioned, the three separate jaws work to hold a drill bit of varied shapes, sizes, and weights tightly. Standard keyless chucks typically have a tighter grip and are a good choice for people who use their power tools extensively.
Another common type of standard keyless drill chuck is the two-jaw design. As the name suggests, the two-jaw drill chuck only has two separate jaws, which usually move independently. This type of drill chuck is more simplified and suited for light-duty jobs requiring less drilling power and torque. Because of the independent movement of the jaws, the two-jaw drill chucks tend to be less precise than the three-jaw chucks.
