Last Sunday, I was using my old Makita right angle drill.I had forgot to
unplug it before using the chuck key when I was trying to put a philips
screwdriver bit into the chuck.I accidently tripped the lever that turns
it on.The chuck key swung around and mashed and tore the crap out of the
index finger on my left hand.
It hurt like Hell!
Metinks I likes keyless chucks now.
WOW!

The biggest problem I've found with them is that they tend to loosen the
grip when you put the drill in reverse.

Another thing to make sure of is that you REALLY tighten the thing. If
you start wearing grooves in the jaws because your bit or screwdriver
tip is loose and turning, it becomes harder to use later.
