Official Power drill parts

In addition to everyday wear and tear, your drill can be hit with an electrical surge, get stuck on a piece of material or suffer from physical damage. Any of these issues could leave your drill in need of repair. If you've noticed that your drill isn't operating like it should, then you may need to repair or replace a part to solve the problem.

• The chuck is a type of clamp that grips the bit you're using to drill. This clamp tightens and loosens by means of a special key. The chuck and chuck key are solid pieces of steel that are made to be very durable. The most common problem with the key is it being lost. While there are makeshift ways to tighten and loosen the chuck without the key, the best solution is to replace the lost key.
• If the drill is electrically powered, problems can arise with wiring connections or tears in the cord. A bad wiring connection could burn out the motor, causing it to need replacement.
