CHUCK KEY

A chuck key is a small tool used to tighten and loosen a keyed chuck on a drill or rotary tool.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• Function:The chuck key uses a toothed mechanism that interlocks with the key. Turning the key tightens or loosens the chuck around the drill bit shank, holding it securely in place.
• Key: The key is a small L-shaped or T-shaped metal piece that fits the teeth of the chuck mechanism.
• Use: Key chucks are commonly found on lower-cost drills and some higher-torque rotary tools. They are a simple and reliable way to secure drill bits, however they can be slower to use compared to keyless chucks.
• Advantages:
  • Simpler design: Key chucks are generally less expensive to manufacture than keyless chucks.
  • Durability: The keyed tightening mechanism can be very strong, making them suitable for high-torque applications.
• Disadvantages:
  • Slower tool changes: Loosening and tightening the chuck requires using the key, which can be time-consuming compared to keyless chucks.
  • Losing the key: A lost key can render the drill unusable until a replacement is found.

• Packing: double blister
