I just replaced my dwd215g's chuck last night with a new Jacobes from lowes. The new chuck is a 2 part keyless, all metal. Removing the old chuck was a nightmare. 3 hours to get it done. what ever you do, take the allen key in the chuck route. DO NOT go the channel lock route. all I did was destroy the old chuck and spend hours figuring out how to get it off from their. All I can say is, if your going to replace your chuck, make sure you use it enough to make it worth doing.
