Hi,
I noticed drills and bits from my makita keep falling out or in. I try to secure the chuck and it has some weird behaviours. Sometimes when I secure bits the chuck it doesn’t click. Sometimes it makes few quiet clicks and sometimes it makes one loud click.
When I unsecure the bits sometimes there is a small click, sometimes a loud click and sometimes completely nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please see attached video Makita Fail
No you aren’t doing anything wrong. Just a bad chuck. You can replace the chuck if you want to keep the drill. Very easy to replace if you want.
