Just thought I'd chime in here with some info. I have owned the commercial model 18 volt DW988 XRP hammer drill for almost ten years now, and it came with the best chuck I've ever seen on it. It's a Rohm, but I can find no part number on it. The entire shell of the chuck is one piece and knurled, so tightening and loosening a bit is very easy, since the drill shaft is locked down when off. It has inserts in the jaws (carbide?) and has never allowed a bit to spin. It has a 'hex' cut into the ring surrounding the jaws so you can use a wrench to free up a bit that jams into whatever you're working on. Behind the hex is a 'freewheeling' tapered section that the instructions described as helpful in guiding the nose of the drill into 'fine', or tricky work. It ratchets somehow when tightening, but then goes into some kind of quarter-turn lockdown mode and stops. I'm convinced that the chuck cost more than the drill. If and when the drill fails, I will be making sure that whatever replacement I purchase can use this chuck. It's that good.
