Finding a chuck replacement might be difficult for that dewalt, not sure. I haven't had good luck swapping chucks on cordless drills in the past.
Yep, I hate daylight savings..... doesn't save a damn thing.

I was watching this video, and also looked around on the Google. Sounds like it's a fairly common issue where the chuck gets loose just from the drill spinning.

Sounds like mine did to where it eventually just went out completely. The torque converters are a weak link on these.... and they start coming apart internally, which plugs the filter and cooks the trans. I am pretty sure (so is my Buddy) that my case is cracked on mine. It drives, but it has some problems still. I am going to pick up a completely different trans for it, and also completely bypass the radiator for cooling, as well as add an external cooler..... that is if I keep it. I'm half tempted to sell it and buy something else for my daughter to drive.

Sorry to contradict you Brew but by ISO Standards, M35 bits are made from an alloy with 5% cobalt and M42 is has an 8% alloy. A solid cobalt bit would not only be super expensive but it would also be like glass, very hard and very brittle.

The Machinist's Handbook has some great information on drilling and drill bits. It has charts in it covering 2, 3 and 4 flute drill bits, flute spiral length, point angles, optimum drilling speeds and coolants. This info is then applied to charts for different materials to be drilled along with explanations about why and how the recommendations are what they are. I learned the value of the book after melting some bits on stainless steel.

Actually.... let me say this. I'ts not THAT bad looking.... but yes, why the hell tack it into the Mustang line? I've seen these memes tossed around in the Mustang FB groups with the Mustang II and the Mach-e that say "I'm the ugliest Mustang" on the Mustang II, then the Mach-e says "Not Anymore". Bull$4!t, I'll take a Mach-e over a Mustang II all day, any day.

Yeah it's really not that bad of a vehicle... but it's gunna get a lot of hate being called a mustang. I think it's going to hurt it rather than help it like ford is thinking (I mean why else call it that)

Just like how the new trailblazer flopped... wasn't THAT bad and I'm sure would be a decent suv but they HATED that it wasn't a true trailblazer

I really hope they dont just pin a bronco emblem on something that doesnt belong just for name recognition.
