[Bosch PSB 18 LI-2 Chuck Problem]

Cheers for that.  Sorry to ask more but -

 

Just had a look on B & Qs site and the only Hitachi 18V is "Hitachi 18V Li-Ion Combi + Drill Driver Twin Pack - DV18DCL2/DS18DCL" for £249.99 which is more than I wanted to pay.  Cant see any offers for Hitachi.

 

But, I saw a "DeWALT 18v Combi Drill & 2 batteries Model No.:DC100KA-GB" - do you have any views on their reliability?

 

thanks again

Thanks Conductor and Wayne.

 

It does make the ratcheting noise.

 

I bought it from B & Q for around the £100 mark.  If I take it back should I get the same make/model?  Or can you recommend a better drill/driver up to £150?  It will be used quite a lot in the coming months, as I have a lot of woodwork to do, fencing, animal housing etc, so I need it to be reliable.

 

Thanks again

[Bosch PSB 18 LI-2 Chuck Problem]

I bought the above Bosch Drill because it was cordless and easy to use anywhere, it is the first cordless I have owned.  

 

The problem I am having is that every time I put a drill bit in and start using it the chuck keeps loosening off and I have to repeatedly retighten it to finish the job.  I have read all through the instructions and can't see anything extra I should be doing to lock the keyless chuck.  Has anyone else had similar problems with this drill? Or any suggestions of what I might be missing?  I don't want to take it back if it is just something I am doing wrong!

 

Thanks for any help/suggestions
