Default Power drill problem...
I have a 1/2" chuck Ryobi drill. It has a 31/32" bit in in just now; the bit is cutting fine, but the bit quickly gets loose in the jaws and quits cutting. I hate to put a hammer to the chuck to tighten it even more.

Do you really think it is a good idea to be using power tools in your current condition?

I saw the title and cringed. You don't want my advice on power tools!

Ni, I couldn't work with power tools in my condition. This is something I was doing before I got sick, and the project has stalled.

Are you tightening the drill bit with a key or by hand?

I think by "condition", he meant inebriated.

Keyed, or keyless chuck?
What type of drill bit?
What is the material you are trying to drill?

I'm just wondering how you even get a drill bit that's almost an inch into a 1/2 inch drill..

What size is the shank?

Jeebus. I could have scratched my fingernail across it and worn a hole in it by now.

Tighten the chuck at all 3 spots?
Replace it with a good chuck?
What's your bit speed? Should be pretty slow for a hole that big in steel I would think.

Tighten at the first position, rotate the chuck 120* to the next position and snug it up some more. Rotate the chuck again and see if it tightens up anymore.

It sounds like the chuck is worn and the jaws are starting to spring.
