I've had a change extreme drill which has just been a royal PITA since new

The problem is the "pushbutton" which holds the shaft so he can get the bits in and out is terrible. The slot in the shaft is nowhere near deep enough and even if it was the plastic surround just simply bends in the case tries to destroy itself anyway.

So is there anything with a proper chuck of some sort ? Either with a key or tightened with spanners or something ?

I had a look, but don't see anything.

:( I looked for about 20 mins, it's like chairs this is, know its a bad design and yet there's nothing else out there :(

hmm...

So after much searching..




That guy took them to bits and the 4000 has a MUCH more sturdy looking shaft lock. So that's my choice so far.
