I don't think it matters what I type in here becuase you either don't read it or understand it anyways. Green tiger slush party turbo escalator mitten mattress. Wild donkey sword fights! lol As for your search for proof I am going to make this as simple as possible, maybe this time you will understand? Me install new chuck already. Too much work to prove wobble. Me not care if you believe me or not. Still with me guy? All kidding aside though guy, I just can't understand your train wreck of a post. You need to re read your messages before you hit the "post" button so we can understand what you are writing. Thanks sport! Oh and you were wrong about milwaukee drills. Turns out they make their own chucks they don't use a 3rd party like jacobs or rohm. I also never said all metal chucks can't wobble either! You gota stop putting words in my mouth tiger!

You are awfully defensive, I only said the jacobs 4000 series has been wobbly for me. I never said or suggested that dewalt was the only user of jacobs chucks, I also never suggested that ALL of the dozens of different styles of chucks that jacobs makes are crappy. The milwaukee 2410 has an all metal chuck which is different than the one on the dcd710 and I have no opinion on it since I haven't used it.

I don't feel the need to prove to you what I already know for myself. I have nothing to gain but winning an internet disagreement and as enticing as that is, its not worth me making any videos or uploading them anywhere. You might see yourself as a judge but you are not. You are nothing but another user who happens to have a different opinion than me. I've used drills all my life. This one had the most wobble of any I've owned. Its also the least amount of money I've payed for a cordless drill. I tried to warranty the problem 3 times with varying degrees of success. I eventually solved the problem on my own. I am providing the information for other people who might happen to have a similar experience. The end.

As much as I would love to go to the trouble to change chucks and make a video of it then change back just to show you what I'm talking about, I think I'l pass. Its not my desire to convince people to change their chucks. I am just trying to help people, I really don't care if you disagree with my opinion of the jacobs 4000 series chuck. The only reason I made this thread is so that if there are others that are bothered by the same thing as I was, they know the right size and model of a more premium chuck that will fit the DCD710 and work well with it. It is intimidating trying to find the right model and size chuck for a drill when you don't know and even harder yet to find a place that sells it. I can't help you find a place that sells them, but I posted above the right model number you are looking for that fits this drill specifically. (I actually emailed rohm after I figured out the model number, asking who sold them in Canada. A CEO of all people emailed me back informing me of a supplier who in turn referred me to a retailer that could order it for me!)

Yea clearly you don't I didn't say all Rohm chucks are perfect. I couldn't know that. I do believe Rohm makes the highest quality chucks though from my personal experience. In my opinion the Extra RV is the best cordless drill chuck out there. If you don't notice the wobble in your 12v max then I am happy for you. Either you don't care or maybe you got a really good one. Either way you dont have to spend the extra money that I did. I tried 3 different stock chucks and they all wobbled, and I do care. I bought one Rohm chuck and it was totally true. It also feels more durable being all metal. When I ran the stock chucks at high speed the vibration was noticeable in the drill. With the Rohm Extra RV there is no vibration at high speed and the tip of the drill bit is perfectly in place without moving around. Like I said, the premium quality chuck isn't for everyone, not every one cares enough to spend the money and I understand that. You can buy a brand new bare tool 12v max drill off ebay for ~70 dollars.

sorry I guess I posted this in the wrong forum. Moderator could you please move this to how to's

Hello all, This is my first post here but I wanted to share something I did in case it helps other people. I bought the 12v max drill/driver a year and a half ago shortly after it came out and I couldn't stand the chuck wobble. I took it for warranty twice and by the third chuck I realised the "Jacobs' 4000 series" is junk. Using small drill bits (which is primarily what I use a lightweight drill for) was imprecise because of the wobble in the chuck. I understand of course, cheap drill is going to have a cheap chuck and I suppose its a miracle it has a ratcheting chuck at all really considering its price point. I've always had great experiences with chucks built by Rohm from germany. Dewalts best drills come with the rohm chucks, and so did an old porter cable cordless drill I had from before they were bought out by black and decker. In fact the chuck that old cordless drill had on it is still the same one on the 20v max premium hammer drill today. I did some research and with much difficulty found out the name of that chuck (Extra RV) and that it comes also in a 3/8 -24 size which is the arbor that is on the 12v max drill. I've used many chucks and this is the best one out there in my opinion. It will never slip or become stuck and too tight unless you don't turn it enough to feel the ratcheting motion... It doesn't have the carbide teeth at that size but its not a hammer drill I'm not too worried about slippage. For anyone interested, the ROHM model number is 893351 for the exact chuck that perfectly fits the 12v max drill/driver. It is far superior to the stock chuck but of course costs a lot more. Almost as much as a bare tool drill itself. It doesn't effect the balance or weight in any noticeable way. Hope this helps someone.
