The Bit Hasn’t Broken

The most common reason for a drill bit to get stuck in wood is that the person driving it was in a hurry and tried to push the bit through the wood rather than giving it time to bore its way through. Bits will also get stuck if you change the angle of the drill while the bit is working.

How do you get a stuck drill bit out of a keyless chuck?

Turn the key counterclockwise in the holes.

Your drill should have come with a key that fits into the holes in the chuck. Fit the end of the key into the hole in the chuck then turn the key counterclockwise 5-6 times. This should start to loosen the bit from your drill.

How do you unstick a Dewalt drill chuck?

You need to find a screwdriver that matches the type of screw inside the drill chuck. Then reach the screwdriver through the drill opening and slot the screw. Because this particular screw is reverse-threaded, you need to turn it counterclockwise instead of clockwise to tighten it.
