So who do we contact if our charger is having this problem. I have 2 batteries only 1 year old and a 2 year old battery and none of them will charge. I find it hard to imagine all 3 are defective. Thank you, Jeff

From the DC927 owners manual: "Self-Tightening Chuck Operation (Fig. 5–7) WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may result. Always lock off trigger switch when changing acces sories. WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. A loose bit may eject from tool causing possible personal injury." p.s. The new Jacobs 700 series chuck works fine. When it fails I may try the Rohm again. Jeff

Quick question: I have read the Rohm chuck should never be opened or closed by using the drill itself, rather only hand-tighten the chuck with the spindle locked. Is this true? I never had a problem with my DC927 chuck until I lent my drill to a friend and he used the drill motor to tighten the chuck onto a bit. Afterwards the chuck would lose it's grip if I tried to free a stuck bit in reverse. Never had that issue prior. Now I have bought a 700 Jacobs chuck to replace the old Rohm, and I won't lend out my $300 drill again. Thanks, Jeff
