Also takes a bit of effort to undo

make it impossible to use

When the chuck did tighten correctly it was very difficult to loosen

Grip4%−0.04

the chuck does not grip as well as it should

BUT in hammer mode the grip on the bit was VERY poor

The hammer action loosened the grip so the drill bit kept sliding in if any pressure was applied
