Reverse and Forward Mode: Try putting the drill in reverse mode and hit the trigger, then forward mode. If that doesn't work, tap the tip on the driveway but don't slam it. It should release .
Use a Wrench: First, make sure that the chuck is in the locked position. Next, use an allen wrench to loosen the set screw on the side of the chuck. Finally, unscrew the drill bit from the chuck .
Remove Chuck Collar: Use a wrench or pliers to loosen the chuck collar and remove it from the chuck. Then, use a screwdriver or other tool to remove the chuck jaws and any other components that may be blocking access to the stuck drill bit. Once these components are removed, you should be able to access the drill bit and remove it from the chuck .
I just looked at some illustrations on ebay of Porter-cable 18 volt drills and they appear to be fairly standard cordless drill/drivers fitted with fairly standard keyless chucks that you get hold of with both hands and twist in opposite directions like you are giving it a Chinese burn. The part of the chuck nearest the bit twists anti-clockwise to loosen.
If you have an SDS drill for heavier duty jobs the chuck is semi-automatic in the drill bit just needs pushing into the chuck and clicks into place but the outer part of the chuck is pulled back in order to release the bit.
Keyless chucks work one of two ways
1: Simply turn the chuck by hand to loosen or tighten drill bit, once it grips the drill bit you will not be able to turn it anymore
2: Some keyless chucks operate by pulling the chuck back towards the body of the drill, placing the drill bit in and then releasing the chuck back to its original position
If it is jammed then hold the bit in a vice and try to knock the chuck off with a cold chisel or suitable piece of brass. then you can remove the chuck screw and replace the chuck. You should not be able to see the bearings underneath.
On some of the DeWalt drills I have owned with keyless chucks, the chuck has a locking mechanism.
You have to grip the chuck and slide the outer sleeve forward to release the lock, then you can tighten or loosen the chuck.
try tapping on all sides of the chuck lightly with a hammer and wiggling the bit... you can also try to spray some oil into the chuck and see if that loosens the bit for you... You can also clamp the bit in a vise (or get someone with a pair of pliers) and pull, that will sometimes do the trick.
what you can try is to spray penetrating fluid on the chuck collar, jaws. Next if you have a GOOD pair of gloves hold the collar and then using the drill motor try and loosen the chuck. If you have a vise with a pair of soft jaws without clamping too tight you can try the same thing. The main purpose is to let the drill torque loosen the chuck collar to release the bit.
how does it happened?be sure to loosen you chuck becos you may probably turn it backward or turning to be thight? take note that loosen the chuck shall be counterclockwise when the drill bit towards or fronting you.
If you are having trouble turning the chuck to remove the drill bit just wrap a cloth around it a couple of times and use a pair of adjustable channel lock pliers to give yourself a mechanical advantage. If you have loosened the chuck but can't remove the bit just clamp onto the bit with a pair of vise grips and tap them a few times with a hammer while a friend holds the drill for you.
