I was able only to take the screw off of friends m18. I was trying hammers, impact driver and later 1000Nm m18 impact wrench but even that did not brake the chuck loose. I think at this point I will just cut the chuck off with angle grinder like I did on one other drill, the next time I get there. All of those fast tightening chucks are crap to use for drilling, all round drillbits are spinning if I don't tighten them using wrench. Best to replace with old style chuck with tightening key, if it's used for drilling in metal.
Thanks, Jim, my Milwaukee is free spinning. With this information i can get it repaired. You know the funny thing about cordless stuff these days is that a few years of owning them....they change the battery storage and footprints of the lithium batteries. I always want 2-3 batteries. BTW...Ryobi stuff. Yes, it is inferior quality to a good Dewalt or Milwaukee...but if someone gets itchy fingers it isn't as painful. Secondly, i own a boat that i keep in Mexico. I bought a bag of Ryobi stuff...a drill, sazall, skill type saw for about 150 bucks. I even take them on my jaunts for a couple of weeks to a month and don't worry about them like i would a fine Milwaukee. So, fellas...they do have their place in the tool kit bags.
I've had the same Milwaukee batteries for 10 years nearly and just bought their newest drill to use with them. I haven't seen Dewalt change their form factor for batteries in a long time either.
The chuck on my Milwaukee drill just spins around. The retaining pins inside all came out- basically just fell out one at a time, but now the chuck won't tighten down on anything. Besides the fact that the screw seems stripped, even though I've never removed it. Is there any hope? I love this drill but unfortunately a lot of people have borrowed it, abusing it, and I've been hard on it too, but still works great. (when working!)
Look inside the throat of the drill, the bottom of the chuck is an actual hex bolt. Put a hex key in for that and don’t “break the drill” as described here
Great video I would like to know as to why has my Milwaukee cordless drill brushless ,packed up twice in 5 months , the problem is the chuck gets stuck does not open and makes a cranky noise on and off so will need to send it back to Milwaukee again Any tips on how to preserve the Milwaukee cordless
Hopefully Milwaukee is replacing the chuck. After the warranty and still not working I would buy a new chuck. My chuck had roof tar on it and chuck would get stuck. Once I changed the chuck it works fine now. Other than spraying it with WD40 I don't have any other solutions.
@@JimMcLaren1950 I had an old makita drill cordless had it for 17 years it still worked my mistake was I threw it in the bin because the battery was playing up other than it worked fine but the new Milwaukee cordless keeps packing up the chuck seems to get stuck I think these brushless cordless drill are not as good as the old cordless too much problem with the Milwaukee cordless at the moment
The original screw has blue lock tight, so don't use the red lock tight for replacement, use either the blue or use the orange lock tight... which is what I always use on just about anything. You use the red stuff and you may never get it back off. You do not want maximum strength lock tight.
Great video but taking my Chuck off was a heck of a lot harder.I had to drill out the screw and the Chuck was on so tight even the Allen key kept spinning when I hit it with the hammer.
Good video! I have a mileauke third gen 1/2 one step hammer drill that doesn’t turn on. The light flashes, but doesn’t turn. It was given to me so I don’t know anything about it. Maybe you or one of your viewers can give some advice.
I a Milwaukee hamer drill/driver, i got jsut a year and have maybe used 3-4 times. Ive noticed the chuck is slipping sometimes when i try to loosen it. It makes a sort of rattling, grinding sound. Most times when i tighten it back up it does grip. Im wondering what could have caused this to bad so quickly?
I got to the point of putting the Allen key in the chuck, striking the key with a hammer in the same direction you did, but mine will not budge. I'm afraid to strike it too much, might ruin something... any ideas?
Try spaying some WD40 and let it sit for awhile. I used a Rubber mallet it was fairly large. I hit it with some force. You may try large pipe wrench or Channel locks to see if it will loosen off..
@@JimMcLaren1950 thanks... I did managed to get it, put the Allen key in the chuck and a pair of vice grips on the end of the key. Held it tight and pulled the trigger on the drill on max torque in reverse... she broke loose pretty easy.
@@JimMcLaren1950 Thanks Jim I just barely took the drill in today to try to get it fixed so tomorrow I will try to grab the truck with channel locks or something thank you I appreciate it information and your quick answer Have a good night and thanks again
@@terretulsiak you might be able to get an easy out in there to remove the screw. Depends hiw badly the screw is damaged If you have another drill you could try drill a small hole in the screw so the easy out can grab it. Remember left hand thread do you need to turn it to the right to remove the damaged screw. Getting the chuck off will be challenge. You need to get something jammed in there to be able to remove the chuck. Since the pins are not there to grab onto. Good luck.
Use an allen key that will fit tight in your chuck. When you tighten the chuck on the allen key thats how you release the chuck from the drill. See if I can get an exact size.
@@JimMcLaren1950 lol the guy at home depot told me he preferred ryobi lol being he is not a professional, i told him no worries i am a professional and i must have the good tool...i felt like the guy was trying to push 💩ryobi. Show up with a Ryobi to work lmao...your fired....why? Because YOU SUCK....that would be my response.
The video and instructions are ok but at closer look, the hex key trick is not the correct way to remove the chuck. After the screw is out, the chuck should be unscrewed with a torx key. That is how it is meant to be done.
Like all these "removal" video's, the screw holding the chuck on is always loose, with no info showing the absolute 'b^ll%ck's of a job it is to remove it, before taking the chuck itself off. If you buy a milwaukee replacement chuck in the UK, you get two new screws with it (short and long) but get some spare screws first anyway, as YOU WILL ruin the original screw.
I searched for chuck and milwaukee bucks, and this came in the recommendations. 10/10 will do it again.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much. Need to do this and you saved me much grief. You’re a gem!
Your welcome. Thanks for the kind words. Happy my video helped.
Thank you. I found a drill that someone broke the chuck. Now I can fix it and keep the kit for my use. Saved me lots of moolah. 🙂
Your welcome. Saved you some money too. Cool.

Welcome Allan, I had one battery go on me. I find the batteries very expensive now even on sale. I have a Ryobi saw that I am very happy with.
I've had the same Milwaukee batteries for 10 years nearly and just bought their newest drill to use with them. I haven't seen Dewalt change their form factor for batteries in a long time either.
Rohm chucks are really good. I plan to replace my chuck soon. It's been jamming alot...
My new chuck works perfectly.
Thanks Ray Romano
Thankyou for the video!

Thank you leant something new today did 1 out of three the screws have been worn out of the other 2

Great. Hit it with a mallet and it broke. Thanks. Great tip.

@@JimMcLaren1950 Sarcasm. The drill housing busted. Now it's garbage. Hot tip, maybe use a wrench instead of a hammer.

Does your chuck loosen up because of the abrupt brake. Mine’s done it for a while now, I want to replace it with a jacobs or a better chuck.
No mine has been fine since I installed it.
Great video man! Why has no one asked the model of those knipex?? I need to know. Thanks!

What if I can tighten the alan key in the chuck as the jaws dont work??
Secure the drill and try using channel locks on the chuck to loosen it..
Do you put locktite on the screw before screwing it back in? Thanks for the video!
Your welcome Pam. You could put locktite on the screw. Never thought of it but good idea.
You could, until the chuck dies and you need to remove it, I suppose.
There is some applied from the factory, it wouldn't hurt and if you ever take one off you'll see the blue residue
The original screw has blue lock tight, so don't use the red lock tight for replacement, use either the blue or use the orange lock tight... which is what I always use on just about anything. You use the red stuff and you may never get it back off. You do not want maximum strength lock tight.

I eventually took the largest box rench I had and slid it on the Allen key and turned until the Chuck locked and was able to break it loose.
@@LuisMartinez-xn9mu Good to hear. Replaces the chuck can be a real challenge.
Put WD40 and leave for 30 min and then open easily

If its still under warrant I would send it back,
@@JimMcLaren1950 Yeah that a thing, im not situated in USA and the store here uses only -90-180 days warranty i believe. I need to check.
That's all well and good, but how the hell do you get the screw out initially.....mines ridiculously tight.
Use a larger screw driver.
Also remember it's a left hand thread.
Thank you!
Your welcome.
Mine it's pretty fucked up and I can't get it out.
I have a burned out Milwaukee hammer drill and a working Bosch drill with a worn out plastic chuck. Could I swap them?
I am not sure it woild be compadiible.

Does this apply for a Milwaukee cordless drill V28?
Should apply for all Milwaukee chucks.
How do you take the check off if the check doesn’t tighten up on the Allen wrench that you’re talking about
It doesn't have to be an Allan key. Use something else that the chuck will catch.
@@JimMcLaren1950 Thanks Jim I just barely took the drill in today to try to get it fixed so tomorrow I will try to grab the truck with channel locks or something thank you I appreciate it information and your quick answer Have a good night and thanks again

Found the Allen key I used there was no markings on it but its 3/8 inch via the tape measure.

If only they were all as easy to remove as this. Mine won't come off no matter what I try. Gonna have to cut it off
