Milwaukee 12v Driver with stuck chuck - David Stone - 07-01-2017 The chuck on my 12v drill/driver is stuck.  I can force turn it, but the fingers don't move. Anyone know of a fix?  (I sent an email to Milwaukee, but I was hoping for a quicker answer.) If necessary, a new chuck from Milwaukee is about $25 (perhaps plus tax & shipping).  Is it worth trying to replace it, or just buy another? Thanks, and Happy 4th of July. RE: Milwaukee 12v Driver with stuck chuck - Steve N - 07-01-2017 If it's broke you'll likely need to replace it, with that in mind I would go with junk lodged into the jaws, and spray it out with a parts breaker. I really like. RE: Milwaukee 12v Driver with stuck chuck - fixtureman - 07-01-2017 Had this happen with another brand.  It was the screw that is in the center of the chuck remember that it is a left thread RE: Milwaukee 12v Driver with stuck chuck - Robert Adams - 07-01-2017 Spray it out with some kind of cleaner. Most likely there is some gunk or a piece of trash in the chuck. If its really bad then if its under 5 years old its under wartanty. You can print a shipping label and they will return it in a week. Way better than the several weeks it takes dw and months it takes ridgid to do repairs. RE: Milwaukee 12v Driver with stuck chuck - Bob10 - 07-01-2017 I don't know what to do to fix it but I doubt that tool is too old so you might want to check on the warranty.  I think it is 5 years RE: Milwaukee 12v Driver with stuck chuck - David Stone - 07-02-2017 Thanks everyone. I'll see what I can do.
