I would like to get a right angle attachment for my holeshooter.
100$ vs. 200$ for a RA drill.
but first I figured I better make sure I can get the chuck off.
put drill in vise
take out left hand thread retainer screw
slosh in ample amount of liquid stench
let sit
chuck in a 3/8 allen wrench.
put a wrench on the shank behind the chuck.
whacked allen wrench with hamminger
(in counter-clockwise direction when viewed from front of drill)
(down loaded manual from Milw. website)
wrench is breaking
The only wrench that will fit is on of those stamped flat ones that come with power tools.
I see mac and snap-on have slim wrenches in thier catalogs !!!???
any one got any pointers I am missing.
I’ve had this drill for 18 years and the chuck has never been off.

I guess. Hope Mr.T's wrists are more substantial than mine. I've taken a few rides courtesy of my hole shooter. Didn't particularly enjoy them. Often a ladder involved. Definitely a time for the side handle, preferably wedged against something stationary.
I'll look at mine later for inspiration. Would you believe I saw how Consumers' Reports recommended not to buy one, immediately after I'd purchased mine? They didn't like the balance and 3 prong plug. I figured it'd be a drill I'd never wear out.PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
Consumer Reports didn't like the grounded plug? There's a newsflash! If it didn't have that, the operator would be the load in the event of the field shorting to the case. If you have a paddle(spade) bit, you can chuck it up, put the flat end of the bit in a vise and reverse the drill. Nobody said it had to be running at high speed. The chuck should back off fairly easily, as long as the screw is out. Another way is to chuck a large Allen wrench and hold the drill down while you turn the wrench. Add whatever you need to increase the torque, just don't plug it in.
