If you havent been to Cripe, well you should. Great deals and the shipping is ok. Gotta navigate a pretty terrible website but there are some really good deals in it. Note their Ebay store is cheaper then the website for shipping??

$7 + $4 = $11

I needed to replace my junky (brand new!) DeWalt 20v drill chuck that had lots of runout straight out the box. Started looking and found this:

Jacobs Chuck 1/2" (both jaw opening and thread fit) 7000 series single sleeve

Features
_ Single sleeve for one hand tightening
_ Ratchet action for superior grip
_ 1/2" capacity
_ All metal construction
_ Carbide teeth on the 3 jaws
_ Fits most common 12-24v hand drills (thread= 1/2"x20)

Just an fyi, this is likely Chinese in origin. Jacobs doesn't make chucks like they used to, that's for sure. Nonetheless, it's probably an upgrade to any cordless drill.

I believe Sharky is correct, likely a Chinese product. But I will say that this chuck came standard in my Hitachi 18v set, purchased 6+ yrs ago and it is still in perfect working condition.

1/2" x 20 bolt/thread.

This is the most common size. Removing the original chuck requires opens the jaws, taking out the screw (reverse rotation I believe) and the unscrewing the chuck from the body of the drill.

Sounds pretty simple.

If a bit is chucked in a drill and you notice a "wobble," is this a sign of a cheap/crappy chuck, or a problem with the drill itself?

Most likely to least likely, bit is distorted, chuck has runout, bad drill.

If you can see runout or "wobble" without doing a test ie, stationary drill and object located at tip of bit or using runout instrument then it is very untrue and should be replaced.

Don't forget the reverse threading that the Chuck hold-down screw uses..
My brain fart cost me several cheap Torx bits.:Freak:

Can't know until you take it apart. Lack of concentricity could just be the 3 jaw; a full on wobble in both axes is probably drill spindle
