Problem with cordless drill

[Robert9999]

I have a Black and Decker cordless drill. I opened the chuck to put in a 10mm drill bit, which is the largest the handbook says it will accommodate. After removing that drill bit, I found that the chuck has jammed in the wide open position. I can't shift it and so the drill is now useless. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the chuck to unwind again? The really annoying thing is that this happened only a few weeks after buying it.

Thank you,
Robert

Agree, WD 40 should help.

Give it a tap with a hammer

My apologies for the delayed reply. I have tried both WD40 and tapping with a hammer, and neither have done any good. I have since contacted B&D service department who say that if oil won't release it then the chuck will have to be replaced.

Thank you for your help.
