Did the left hand screw inside the chuck come loose? This happens a lot and when it does the screw will back out a little and block the jaws from closing. If not I use dry graphite lube.

If it won't close the only other option you have is to break the outer collar and use a chisel to hit on the exposed jaws inside the chuck. I have detailed instructions in the tip section on how to remove a chuck from these drills. Let me know if you need more assistance.

Hi Gregory,You can use a 6 inch pipe wrench on the top of the chuck and an eight inch on the large part of the chuck.Put a rag in the pipe wrench jaws.Lay the drill on a flat surface with the chuck pointed at you.The handles face the same way,small one on the bottom to lock the chuck and the 8 inch on top so they look like scissors. Depending on which way the chuck is jammed will determine if the handles are on the left or right side.Gloves and safety glasses will make holding the top wrench with a bit of force to lock every thing in place.Now just a tap on the end of the eight inch wrench will loosen the chuck.If the set up is wrong you will only jam the chuck more.
