Repair to an electric drill

[despritdan 241]

Does anyone know where I can get a repair done to an electric drill? The mechanism in the head that bites onto the drill bits isn't working. Would it be cheaper to buy a new one?

I think you mean the chuck. I think you can get one from Machine Mart.

It sounds like the Chuck is at fault. That is the part that holds the drill.

This can easily replaced, price would depend on the model of the drill.

I bought one 6 months ago,cost about £15.

I got my chuck on ebay, Paid £3.45 with £4 postage, works a treat, came fully boxed with that little screw that goes through the middle as well.

 

it just depends on what size you require, when you want it and how long you are prepared to wait for delivery.

 

Then again, I just bought a brand new B&D 14.4V cordless hammer drill with spare battery for £26 on ebay as a spare again no complaints.

 

Sometimes its worth buying a new drill as they can be pricey. I have a Jacobs chuck on my Power devil - the £3.45 one and its great

Yep ebay will be cheapest, also the screw in the middle of the chuck should be left hand thread so remember that when trying to loosen it.

Thanks for your reply. It's a Bosch PSB 350. The chuck doesn't unscrew so the drill would have to be dismantled I suppose. It's actually my Brother in Laws who's lent it to me whilst he's away.

The chuck will come off dont worry, usually without dismantling the drill.

Its a 3/8 chuck,if you want to order one from ebay and pm me ill tell you how to get it off.

Hope that helps you.

You can upgrade to a keyless chuck if you like, saves losing the key.

Are you tightening the chuck by using all three holes with the key?

That might help.

Make sure if you get keyless its suitable for an impact drill.
