Hi, I have 14.4v B&D drill - I for the life of me cannot unscrew the front of the drill to insert my drill bit. It is is just soo tight & not sure how this has happened! Can you help in how i can unscrew please Thanks

Open the chuck as wide as it will open and look inside to see what type of screw/bolt it uses then using the correct tool insert it into the chuck and undo the bolt/screw, usually it will have a left hand thread so to unscrew it needs to be rotated in a clockwise directions, hold the chuck tightly but dont use excessive force if this does not work then try unscrewing it in the opposite direction, at all times be firm but like I mentioned earlier dont use excessive force.

Most new cordless drills don't have a key. Put the drill in reverse and hold tight to the chuck barrel, pull trigger and the chuck will open. Opposite to close/tighten Best I can do with info provided

Easiest way, insert an appropriately sized drill bit, the round end, not the cutting end, into a hole in the brake and use that to unscrew it. Look at the threads inside the thread protector to see which way it's threaded, though. Some guns are threaded left, some are threaded right. Mossberg, I have no doubt it's a common right hand but you never know. Use a drill bit that fits the hole snug but not tight....and do NOT use a loose one! It'll scratch the brake.

Yes. Often these egg beater hand drills have rusted a bit from non-use. Use a good penetrating oil and work it back and forth.

grab the top by where the drill bit goes in and press the trigger on the drill motor. The direction of rotation will tighten or loosen the Jaws of the chuck.

Keyless chucks have two parts (see pictures) when the drill is in operation both parts spin. Assuming you put the drill bit in and tightened the keyless chuck by hand, put on a work glove and grasp the part of the chuck at the front of the drill, grasp the other part and twist the front part anti clockwise.
If this does not work you can hold the front of the chuck and reverse the direction of the motor as if you were unscrewing something, then pull the trigger. If your hand does not grasp the chuck tight enough it will slip, hence the glove. If this does not work you may have to hold the front of the chuck in a vice or with caliper pliers and again the pull the trigger with the drill in reverse.
All this depends on what you used to put the drill bit in with your hand tight or held onto it with something else. Whatever was used should be enough to loosen the chuck
Hope this helps.
If it does let fix ya know.

hi this should be reletively easy hold the end black bit with the sivler bit holde coming out not the black bit next to the yellow case on drill you hold the black part thats at end of drill by where the bit goes into not the black bit near the trigger hope i explain this ok.
Hold this bit tight then put drill in reverse then press trigger a couple of times it might be tight but shouldnt be that tight it wont undo.
1 put in reverse
2 hold black plastic piece near where drill bit goes into
3 press trigger few times
4 this should undo it allowing you to put a bit in
make sure its in reverse else you will just tighten it up more let me know if you need further assistance ok

Chucks ARE meant to stay tight.
You also use drill to UNSCREW THINGS.
