My chuck wont open on my KD574CRE Black &

Open the chuck as wide as it will open and look inside to see what type of screw/bolt it uses then using the correct tool insert it into the chuck and undo the bolt/screw, usually it will have a left hand thread so to unscrew it needs to be rotated in a clockwise directions, hold the chuck tightly but dont use excessive force if this does not work then try unscrewing it in the opposite direction, at all times be firm but like I mentioned earlier dont use excessive force.

Hi,

Yes, they are an inferior product. However you can replace the B & D chuck with a Jacobs chuck that will hold up and last for a long time!

Jacobs Chuck

In Black and Decker drills when the drill stops turning the chuck spindle locks automatically. All you have to do is grip the outer sleeve of the chuck and turn it anti clockwise to open it. Turn it clockwise to close it. When you press the trigger to start drilling the spindle unlocks automatically again.

Look at the three jaws in the chuck,if on is further out than the others the you need to tap ti back into place with a small punch and a hammer.If this does not work then you need to replace the chuck,remove the screw at the bottom of the chuck[where you put the bit],then you will need to to clamp vise grip on the chuck and with it pointed away from you hit the vise grips with a hammer with a sharp blow downward and it should come off.Hope this helps.

You need to open the chuck and remove the bolt from the bottom of it[usually a #2 phillips].The next step is to insert a 5/16 allen wrench into the chuck and tighten the chuck.Hold the drill with the chuck facing away from you then strike the allen wrench with a hammer on the right side[so it goes down] and now you will be able to remove it by hand,good luck.

the chuck is broken inside if clicking. Ace and True Value stores sell chuck replacements

put some oil in the chuck and see if you can free it up buy turning it back and forth let it set with the oil for a day or so to let the oil soak in.

I'd put penetrating oil in it and tap the chuck with a plastic hammer. That should free it up.

Best rgrds, W/D

if chuck is wide open ,look down inside there should be an allen screw or bolt at the bottom of the chuck it should undo anti clocwise and the chuck comes off

There are one-way (non-reversible) and two-way (reversible) drills. Mine is one-way. Methods for chuck removal are different for these two types.
Procedure for one-way (non-reversible) drills:
Drills of this type have no chuck screw, so one have to hold the spindle with a wrench, than to sharply strike the wrench with a hammer to spin it off.
Procedure for two-way (reversible) drills:
Open the chuck up and in the bottom is a screw that holds the chuck on the shaft.The screw turns in a clock wise motion to be removed and then you can top the chuck off the shaft.
