Good grief!

“I hated mine [i.e. keyless power drill chuck] too when I first got it. At

first I used two channel locks to tighten it sufficiently. Then I figured

out that if I held the outer chuck and drove the drill slowly clockwise, not

too fast or it will burn your hand, it would tighten the bit for sufficient

for any use. The first time I tried it I burned my hand because I went too

fast. Once I figured it out, I think the keyless chuck is better.”

This reminds me of that WFB column (this is going back 30 yrs or so) about

his first encounter with snap-on ski bindings. He said something like:

“It’s as if you just discovered an obscure little box on the tax form which,

if you check it, causes your tax liability to be halved.”
