Portable power tools are an essential part of modern life. However I think the invention of the keyless chuck for portable drills should be competing with the square wheel and chocolate fireguard for most useless design. There is zero choice these days because ALL portable drills have keyless chucks. When I want to do any serious drill work I still rely on my mains powered KEYED chuck. Having now run out of patience I looked for an alternative solution. After minimal research I found that I could make a retrograde step and fit my semi useless portable drill with with an upgrade to make it 100% reliable.
