Keyless Chuck Loosening Problem.

Zoomup
I use a Hitachi DV 18DGL battery drill for a lot of my work. It is very good and the battery lasts a long time and charges up quickly when needed.


BUT, when in use the keyless chuck comes loose and the drill bit does not turn due to a poor hold. I have two of these drills and the same problem exists with both chucks. Is it a design problem or a bad batch of chucks? I do not know. Other makes of keyless chucks that I have used over the years hold the drill bits securely and do not come loose even if using a hammer action.


Is there a solution? Perhaps I should pour some fine sand into the chucks.

    I had this problem as i was using the motor to tighten it by holding the chuck and spinning the motor, when I started tightening while it was not running it's fine and never comes undone.
