The 1/4 collet will not go in the 1/2. I took the locknut all the way off and fully tightened it, with no luck. How do I fix this?

Sounds like the 1/2" collet was deformed by tightening the nut without a bit.bThat would account for the 1/4" collet not fitting. I suggest taking the collet nut completely off and try to force the adapter into the 1/2" collet. Remove the adapter and replace the nut. The adapter should then fit. Be sure to insert a bit BEFORE tightening the collet nut.
