Sears sell chuck keys in all of the common sizes, of which there are only a few. If you have the old key, take it with you. If you don't have the old key then find the diameter of the three holes in the chuck (easy way to do this is to see what size drill fits into those holes) and measure as closely as you can the diameter of the gear you need. This is tapered, so measure (and double) the distance from the center of one of those three holes to the bottom of one of the gear notches on the ring on the chuck. You could also take the drill to the store with you!
Good luck!

Yes it does have a Morse taper and you can remove it by gently hitting it with a rubber or nylon mallet.

If this is a new tool I would take it back and get it replaced. The only other way to eliminate this problem is to determine if it is the spindle or the chuck and replace the defective unit. Warranty works better.

You can get a universal chuck key at Home Depot, Lowes and many other tool outlets. They have 4 different keys in one.

Are you talking about the chuck key? That's the little wrench with a collar of gear teeth on it.
There are only a few standard sizes plus a couple of odd-balls. Last time I looked, Sears carried a good selection. If you have the old one, take it with you to the store. If you don't have the old one, find a way to measure or approximately measure what you need. Another chuck key that doesn't fit can be a useful reference. If you can find something (maybe a drill bit) that is a close fit into one of the three holes in the chuck, that can be useful too.
