    Keyless Chuck for 1/4 inch Shank Drive Power Tools!
    Basically; you've got a power tool that uses a 1/4 inch collet system to hold a tool, but want a way for it to hold an adjustable keyless chuck? That's what this tool does. Look at my photos. You can see that I have a few Millwaukee M12 electric die grinders. The downside of these great tools is that they use a quarter inch collet system. If you have a tool bit that's a smaller size? Tough nuggets. To fix this problem, I created my 1/4 inch Dremel adapter which can be found here in my Etsy shop. That adaptor allows you to utilize the wide variety of Dremel type bits in power tools with better performance (power and torque).
    The downside to my 1/4 inch Dremel Adaptor is that it revolves around the Dremel ecosystem. If you ONLY use Dremel size bits (1/8th inch drive); its by far the better choice for you. However; if you find yourself switching back and forth from 1/4 inch tools and 1/8th inch tools, this chuck might just be a better solution for you! Just hold your tool's spindle in place and twist the chuck like any other keyless chuck. Makes changing bits/tools quick and easy. For my Milwaukee M12 die grinders; that means holding the spindle in place with a wrench; twisting the chuck loose, replace the bit, and tighten it back up by hand. You can easily swap from 1/4 inch tools to 1/8th inch tools and any other size smaller than 1/4 of an inch.
    Whats included:
    Keyless Chuck with 1/4 inch drive shaft.
    Things to note / Questions & Answers / Tips and tricks:
    1. Be mindful that the keyless chuck will introduce stick out to your set up. For instance; if you use a Burr tool that sticks out 1 inch from your tool, by the time you attach the chuck and the same Burr into the chuck; it may be sticking out 2 or 2.5 inches! This stick out increases the leverage that the Burr applies to the spindle of your power tool. Just keep this in mind while you are using the chuck.
    2. If you are using mainly or only 1/8 inch bits; I would highly recommend you use my 1/4 Dremel adapter instead. Its half the price, offers superior precision, introduces less stick out; and is all around a better solution for attaching 1/8th inch tools to a 1/4 inch power tool.
    3. The chuck weighs about 1.7 ounces.
    4. The chuck uses springs to center your bit as you hand tighten; and sometimes needs a little help. Help it out by holding the tool as centered as possible.
    5. Just like the official Dremel brand mini chuck; sometimes a when bit is improperly installed, it wobbles around (a little or a lot). To fix it, remove the bit and re-install trying to hold the tool as centered as possible.
    6. When I use a 1/4 inch tool, I sometimes use a squaring device to help align the tool. I find that a Drill Gator V-Drill Guide does an excellent job of centering drill bits when installing them.
    7. The chuck is hand/finger tighten only. It does not have flats on it to apply torque with a wrench.
    8. Before I mark a  chuck as sellable; I personally check and inspect each and everyone of them. If a chuck does not meet my standards; I happily throw it away because I don't ever want to sell faulty tools; have unhappy customers; and receive negative reviews. If you encounter a problem with your chuck; please message me and I'll do my best to help you out.
    Legal Notes:
    All that you are purchasing is a Keyless Chuck meant for 1/4 inch drive power tools. All other items in the photos are for Illustrative purposes only. Additionally, the chuck that I'm selling starts its life off as a quality made in China (I know, I know) or Taiwan chuck. I heavily modify the chucks in my lathe and test each and everyone of them before offering them for sale. Last but not least; as with all things dealing with power tools, use at your own risk. I will not be held accountable or responsible for misuse or improper use.
