Lots of 'funny' drills posted recently. Watch this one as Homebase usually drop an extra 10% off over Bank Holidays. Worth every penny as initially it was designed for trade use.
I have this.
question. why does the chuck go lose every time I drill ?
I do tight it up until it makes a click noise . very frustrating and iv only used it once ! had if for 4 months now as I'm a light user

I hate that - not got this drill but happens on mine when I hammer

Most likely down to user technique. Try tightening on hammer setting - or max end of tourqe setting no. 22 - work down torque 21, 20, etc till you find a 'happy point' Use a rigger glove to hold chuck with. Doubt if there is anything wrong with drill. Otherwise you can build your body height to 6 feet and 18 stone weight with muscles and hands to match - that will resolve it :smiley: Hope this helps.

That can happen on small diameter drill bits, but usually it's just a matter of tightening it up more than you would. If it happens a lot you might have some debris or obstruction in the chuck jaws or it's a duff one.

As others have said it's the torque setting. It shouldn't be clicking. Turn up to drill setting and hold tight. Careful not to burn yourself by holding the trigger beyond your grip capability (or use a glove). My Father in Law gets it wrong everytime so I'm sure you're not alone.

Used it once in 4 months. Sounds like my conjugal rights. Make sure your chuck screw is tightened fully. It is in centre of chuck jaws and left hand thread to tighten.

try holding chuck and then pressing on switch while u hold it so it tightens a bit more.

Well, only 51Nm is a bit low compared to the 67Nm on Bosch.
Also seems less compact/heavier than Bosch

There's no discount weekend over Easter at Homebase. They have been suspended while the new owners take over and look at creating every day low prices

No contest. Buy this one. No Brainer really. I believe the £70 1.3ah deal may be just a drill driver, with no hammer function for masonry work, but please check that out - irrespective of what the site info at Homebase is stating.

was first time using it too. I used the drill to make holes and drill screws for blinds. lots of numbers but as i am a woman and CBA reading instructions I thought bit would work straight out of the box.
