Would Not RecommendBought one of these from Lowe's and within two weeks, the attachment was absolutely USELESS! It broke!
Fix for stuck bits
Would RecommendPics to explain. Free stock bits w/rat tail file. Fix for locked in bits. DO NOT INSERT MORE THAN 3/4” OF BIT INTO CHUCK. SERIOUSLY.

Worse than junk!
Would Not RecommendThe third time I used this quick connect chuck it locked my bit in and will not open! The bit is more expensive than this after market chunk. No support or written best practices to try and fix this defect that Dewalt could not help but be aware of.

how does this thing actually work?
Would Not RecommendIt's difficult to keep the chuck tighten when using a drill bit and when it does it get tight, it's difficult to loose. Quick may not be the term I use for this accessory.

Would Not RecommendChuck stuck with bit inside during the first use. I managed to free my bit, though, but no longer trust Chuckie. The drill bits also slip when they have non-indented, round type shanks. I should have read the reviews first.

Better than all the others online.
Would RecommendI like it. I purchased this to supplement the Dewalt screwdriver DCF601 which has only a 1/4in chuck. (I figured there would be times when all I have is a standard round drill bit.) This is heavy but doesn't tip over the drill. It is all metal (not fake metal like the screwdriver). The stem comes assembled and tests secure. A cheaper model I bought online had reviews talking about the stem coming undone, needing to be welded, etc. But for some reason, the way Dewalt got around this problem was ...
