papawith5 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello everyone. I have a Dewalt D21008 drill and cannot remove the keyless chuck. I opened the chuck all the way open to get at the screw that holds the chuck on but the screw head has been worn down and cannot be taken out by convential means. Any suggestions before I take it into a repair center? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 you could try and drill the screw out, but from looking at the price of a new drill it might not be worth it to do the repair. A new drill is between 50/60 dollars online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Remember the screw holding the Chuck on should be reverse thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papawith5 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks for your suggestions. I'm going to get a repair estimate and go from there. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papawith5 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I just took a closer look inside the chuck and it doesn't look like there is a screw after all. I tried the method of using an allen wrench and hammer to break the chuck loose but no luck. I tried to remove it in a counter clockwise direction as the manual said but to no avail. I have to wonder if this model is even equipped with a locking screw as there was no mention of one in the manual. Does anyone know for sure? Any ideas? Any suggestions will be welcome.

papawith5 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Good news!! I finally got the chuck off. I ended up taking the drill apart and removing the spindle. I then put in the vise and it turned right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Cool, did you get the unit replaced? I did the same thing with a Makita BHP454 years ago but she didn't make it through surgery. The chuck was the least of the problems for that drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Chris the hammer is not a surgical tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
