Hey guys I just got this drill as a gift and i cant for the life of me understand why every time i try to unscrew something tight, the chuck unscrews itself completely from the shaft of the drill. This drill was brand new in the box. Is this normal? what can i do to fix this?? I would think for as beefy this thing is that it would be able to handle unscrewing a bolt without this happening. :'(
Thanks again!

Well there’s your problem right there; you’ve got Duke loosing to WVU.
… Not sure about the drill though. If it’s still under warranty, I’d just take it back
