I opened the chuck on my DeWalt DW106 Drill all the way and now it won't
close. I can't turn it like usual,not even with vise grips, and so I
can't get it to close back down. Any suggestions?

That's for when they are stuck shut.
He can unscrew it and chuck it.

And bash it with a hammer, it may shock it free.

Once upon a time, drill chucks on portable drills were almost always
simply screwed onto either a male or female thread on the nose of the
drill. Then they invented reversible drills, and the chucks came unscrewed.

Now, many drills secure their chuck with a left-hand threaded screw,
usually posi-headed, visible if you peer down the open chuck. If this
screw comes loose, it can jam the jaws of the chuck. Poke a screwdriver
down and tighten it (anticlockwise), and Bob may just possibly be your
uncle.

Unless you've already followed the advice and used bfi on it.
