dewalt 1/2 cordless chuck held in reverse til full open, maybe to far open Now will not close , what could come apart inside and jamb? it wont come apart to see what happened
if its a keyless chuck:
grip the non rotating part in a vice
then with a large 'plummers spanner'grip the outer
and turn anticlockwise-
be careful not to overtighten the vice
if this wont release it you might need a new chuck
