Skil 1/4" Keyless Chuck customer reviews:

Small but Surprisingly Useful
I bought this for my "Yankee" style auto-return screwdriver that takes standard quarter inch bits so I could turn it into a push drill. At first I was worried that, due to its smaller size, it wouldn't have the grip necessary to hold medium to large drill bits without them spinning in the chuck's teeth, but it has a surprisingly strong "grab". I don't know how well it'd work for tools that could generate much more torque, such as a brace-type hand powered driver but I suspect it'd work fine.
The only drawback, which is a minor one, is that the whole "head" of the chuck rotates on the post to tighten/loosen the jaws, so it has to be in a tool if you want to insert or remove a bit from the chuck.
Really weak - a little better than a toy
I previously had a Makita chuck that failed and decided to try this Skil keyless chuck based on other reviews. Received it very quickly...but the product is not designed for anything where you care about precision. I tried three bits (small to medium diameter) and there is so much wobble in the bits that you must first put the bit on the wood with pressure in order to try to hit a mark. Not recommended.
too weak, risky buy
i took it apart then put it back together and it started to wobble. it may work fine for you but i would not recommend this product. get a better one so that you don't have to spend again.
simple chuck
The seller's name says it all Hobby Tool Supply. This is a simple, basic lightweight chuck. It is NOT intended for heavy/construction/industrial use. It works for light jobs but if you need it to build a house, pay $25+ and buy one of the more conventional ones sold on ebay. My power screwdriver [which is just a screwdriver not a drill/driver]has a setting for drilling pilot holes and this seems suited for that use. It works perfectly with the "quick-change" type chuck on the screwdriver. There were no problems with the transaction; the seller shipped the item very quickly.
Lightweight use only and not for precision
If all you want to do is drill holes in wood or plastic and
don't need them exact, this is a very convenient piece to own.
Due to the way it rests on the tightener threads, which are
not very closely machined, you can get up to a quarter inch (!)
of wobble at the end of an average sized bit. You can sometimes
coax this down by playing with the second threaded part that holds
the tool together, or use a short bit, but if you are looking to
be precise, you'll find this rather unusable.
This lasted me two years and made it through a good amount of
abuse, but that said, mine just broke -- the shaft is not made of
the best metal they could have used. If you plan to do
anything that involves applying much force to the tool, like
drilling metal, get a more durable chuck adapter. Or a "real"
drill.
Obviously my needs have exceeded this tool, so I'll be buying
something more durable to replace it.
