My 12 volt Dewalt drill has issues, the chuck jammed on me, I admit to using a hex shank and driving screws a lot, it took channel locks to open the chuck, finally it released, and then I noted one of the 3 jaws was sticking out a little, played w/ it then it came one, and now a second one is sticking out, how do these go back togather? Can it be fixed easily? is a new chuck the best way, or a new drill? thanks, Dave

First try a little WD40. That exact same thing happened to me and the WD fixed the problem. If that doesn't work, I'd get a new chuck.
Good excuse to upgrade to the new 36 volters
