I bought a basic Jacobs chuck. I paid just under $100. Made a huge difference. I know Jacobs is a well-known large chuck manufacturer. No doubt there are other good quality manufacturers. I just went to my local quality-tool dealer (Wholesale Tool) and asked for a recommendation. I recommend doing the same - do you have a good tool dealer locally?- not ACE hardware or Homer's - but rather a real place where quality-conscious professional contractors might shop for high-end tools - and that has real people - that know real things about tools - behind the counter (you know, like back in the old days). I just did a Goggle search on "jacobs drill chuck" and got about a million results. One of the first page is: http://www.biscofl.com/jacobs.htm . Looks like they have a good assortment. If you want me to, I can take a peek at mine and see which model I ended up with.
