Title: Oldie but Newbie
Post by: ToolsorDie on September 01, 2011, 10:42:14 PM

New guy here, how is everybody?

I have some old tools to dig up and share!

Anyone know who made the first keyless electric drill chuck and what drill it was sold on?

Looking forward to your old tools!  So Welcome!

All I can say about the keyless chuck is that the first one I ever saw was a Makita.  Got a couple now, but I still have the keyed Makita I bought in '86.

I have one quite a bit older than that, have a look.

Yeah!  I saw that after I posted.  The pic didn't show the chuck, so I wondered what it looked like.  Now I wonder why  keyless chucks weren't more common earlier.  Especially for the cordless drills -- I kept losing the dratted keys to my Makita, wandering around the 3000 sq. ft. scene shop when I was working theater.  I finally tied one to my holster, in addition to keeping a couple more in my tool box.
