Hi All,
follow up - some time ago, I asked about how to remove the key-less
chuck on battery drills. My semi-dead one I was using as a power
screwdriver finally had a toooo dead battery pack, so it was
sacrificed to the cause. Got some good advice, so used it. Biggest
Allen key that would fit in the chuck , a lot of whacks with the
hammer - came loose (yes, I had figured out the reverse screw thread
thingy down the middle)
Thanks people - advice noted, and used successfully.

What will you do with a separated chuck?

Did you consider rigging an external battery pack for your
drill?

BTW, my dead cordless drills get a set of cables from (equally dead)
battery chargers. Clamp a 9.6-volt drill to a marginal 12V battery and
you can drill for hours, in a semi-portable way

Does the over voltage burn out the motor?

What's that Lassie? You say that Stormin Mormon fell down the old
rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue

Many voltages of cordless drills have the same motor in them.
9.6v to 14.4v should be OK on 12v.

No. Wanted the internals more, have other good working drills so no
great drama if it died, or I stuffed it up.

I use old drill chucks to hold lathe bits while cutting and sharpening
them on the grinder. Works good, and doesnt burn ones fingers.
