DeWALT is getting greedy and in a very unfair and not customer friendly way. These are not household drills, so they should let people know at least that they designed a "disposable" drill, because when it comes to chuck removal, actually you have to change buy the whole armature (chuck+clutch+gearbox+switch) you can bet that is gonna cost you nearly to the price of a brand new drill. And if you add the cost or time that you spending for the hassle,.. Its just not worth it. And yeah, chucks could be easily go wrong in certain ways. From misuse to dust, drop from height etc. Until know the only it was like a 10-15 minutes to replace it, even a better chuck if you wanted to. Shame on you DeWALT, its a very thoughtful planned obsolescence, and i can not see any other reason in this design at all.
