Shopcraft Drill
EdK:
Hello everyone!
I'm brand new to this site and came across it when searching for parts for my Shopcraft Drill model 9750T1.
I found another thread that looks like it talks about the same drill but the model number is 975011 so I'm not sure if that was a typo. Anyway, I wanted to reply to the thread (last activity was 2017) and I received a message stating that I might want to consider starting a new thread since the other one was so old. So here I am.
Anyway, I recently lost the chuck key for this drill and have searched the internet high and low to see if I could find parts but with no success. I did find a site that describes how to determine what kind of chuck key it needs by reading the numbers on the chuck but it's a bit scratched up and I can't tell what it is.
The drill used to be my fathers who passed away back in 1984 and I don't know how long he had it (he was born in 1912) so I'm assuming he purchased it brand new probably in the 1960 or early 70's.
I'm assuming I might be able to find an appropriate chuck key at a hardware store but was wondering if anyone here can tell me a bit more about the drill.
It still works and I use it when I need to drill into concrete, etc as its pretty heavy duty.
BTW- I'm not a contractor or anything like that. Just a plain simple homeowner that like to putz around with odds and ends projects and repairs whenever I can.
I attached a couple pictures of the drill.
Thanks! Ed

Welcome to Tool Talk !
I would take the drill to a pawn shop that might have a bin full of chuck keys and find one that fits.

Thanks!
Pawn shop? Never would have crossed my mind. Interesting. I'll give it a try.
Thanks!

Hello, EdK. Welcome to Tool Talk from chilly Central New York. Per Papaw's post; Can you measure the hole in the chuck that the key would be inserted? I have a bin of old chucks I could paw through. No, this isn't a Pawn Shop, but sometimes it resembles one :cheesy: Also, was it a T-shaped chuck, or, an L-shaped chuck ? Regards, Lou
EdK:
Hi Lptools,
The diameter of the hole is 1/4 inch. I confirmed this by inserting the butt end of a drill bit into the hole.
Tried 5/16 but that was to big.
It was an L shaped key like the picture I attached.
Thanks...Ed (S.Florida)
