I have a Milwaukee M18 cordless drill with a bit broken off inside and the chuck won't open.

Put your drill into reverse, and hold the chuck. With luck, that will loosen the chuck and the broken bit will fall out.

Hyundai wiper arm not working

A quick fix is to first put the wiper arm into the correct position then drill downward through the wiper arm and into the wiper pivot.Don't drill all the way through the whole assembly,just 3/4 through the whole thing.Then break off the drill in the drilled hole.The hardened steel drill will run the wiper arm on the pivot.Dab a little sealant on the drilled hole/drill bit and run the wiper with no problem next time it rains..

Drill runs until pressure is applied to the bit. then the motor cotinues to run but the chuck stops spinning.

It sounds like the gears themself are stripped. On the inside of the drill right behind the head is a gear that turns the head itself. When that gear is stripped the head will spin sometimes withou pressure but when pressure is applied the head will not spin

Keyless chuck drill just spins

Some times the selector on top get gummed up with dust, it just needs cleaning. You were right to put it into 1st gear to remove the chuck with a big allen key, you get more resistance in the gears.

I have the drill, I have the bits...there is something missing to connect both. What does it look like?

Although you posted your question under Chainsaws instead of another tool forum, look at the end of the drill. Is there a hole surrounded by a cone shaped metal end? This is the chock, if you spin/turn it counterclockwise, the opening should widen to accommodate the drill bits, then spin/turn it clockwise to tighten/clamp down on the drill bit. Some drills accomplish this with an l-shaped key that has a small cone-shaped gear on the end that fits into holes on the chock. Some drills have a chockless drill, and you simply hold the end of the drill and squeeze the trigger to use power to tighten/loosen the bit.

How do I take a bit out?

It is a keyless chuck. Put the drill in reverse (chuck should spin to the left when viewed from the back) and hold the main body area of the chuck with your hand while slowly running the drill. The chuck will open (unless it is broke) and release the bit. You do the opposite (slowing running the drill in forward) for tightening a bit in the chuck.

My om04226 runs in reverse but not on auto

Mine stopped shredding too. When you put the paper in, it would try to shred it, but it would stop, but you can hear the motor still running. What happened is that, there is a gear that drives a shaft and the gear attaches to the shaft by a squarish hole and the shaft has an end with a squarish fitting and the squarish hole gets stripped and becomes round and just starts free spinning. It can be fixed, but you have to do some filing & drilling. You can drill a hole on the end of the shaft and put in a short pin. On the gear, make corresponding slots, so that the gear fits over the shaft with the new pin.

These tools have panetry gearboxs to give maximum torque foe lightweight gearing. A common problem with the older DeWalt drills was the gear selector legs coming adrift. This is (potentially) an easy fix. First of all, the obvious stuff. Remove the battery and press the trigger to release any static/stored power. Undo all the screws and seperate the two halves. Try to keep all the internals in the back half like this... http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mendingshed/DW958mainimage1.gif

Now check the metal legs coming down from the gear selector slide. They should be sitting through the sides of the gearbox, and located into the sides of a ring gear. They used to pop out of this gear which would stop it being pushed fully into position.
