Bremon Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks guys, I googled nitro carburizing and it's a process for hardening metal. Should make for a more durable chuck I suppose. I've read plenty of good things about Dewalt chucks so that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read plenty of good things about Dewalt chucks so that makes sense. bosch,metabo,dewalt,hitachi, hilti, they all have the same rohm chuck with a few modifications here and there. they're good chucks, but i prefer the old jacobs chucks they use on hitachi drills, they're sturdy and they grip really well. The really, really good chucks are on makita's flagship drill (They were also on the first generation production of Milwaukee's gen 1 the one on the brushless m18 compact is similar but i believe it had tungsten carbide jaws and the chuck ran completely true.) if you google the DV18DBL that imo is the best chuck jacobs has ever made on a cordless drill. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks pancing, very informative. I should have known that, I knew Rohm and Jacobs were the big hitters in the chuck game lol. Very nice purchase Sluggo, I can tell you from experience that you won't be disappointed. Pay no mind to what wild may tell you (kidding of course).

wildroamer Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Haha! I actually really liked the Fuels aside from my One Key issues. I've had my issues with the yellow too, Grrr! Both brands felt great in hand, and had killer power. I actually preferred the battery on the Mil, with the rubber over-molding on the bottom giving it some anti-skid that the Dewalt is lacking. I don't think you can go wrong with either brand.... Unless you're me, of course.... Then you can count on some defects! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo74 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I thought about getting the one key,but didn't think I was smart enough for all that fancy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77Ford Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well my old Makita decided to call it a day and go to Valhalla. So Since I had multi Dewalt batteries I brought their Dcd995 beast. Next purchase will be 2 or more flexvolt batteries and their flexvolt recip saw. If you are going Flex.......CPO has a great deal going on with a free tool (Up to $269 value) when buying a DeWalt Flexvolt Kit at $379 [emoji109] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came with 3, 2 normal cut-off's and a carbide tipped. 17 minutes ago, ChrisK said: Awesome stuff Todd. Did you end up getting it through that S Korean dealer?
