Chuck for Milwaukee M18 drill motor

rScotty · Aug 9, 2025

Our Milwaukee M18 Fuel brushless drill is a decent tool, but this one came with a weak chuck. I eventually bought it an expensive Rohm chuck - which worked a few years and then just failed completely. Now that Rohm won't grip or let go dependably.

So it is chuck time again. Any recommendations?
Thanks,

When the chuck finally got to where it would not hold a bit without slipping on my M18 Fuel I replaced it with Milwaukee's OEM chuck which as it turned out was better quality than to chuck that came on the drill to begin with.

My biggest problem was getting the retaining screw out, I don't know what gorilla installed it but he must have had an extra bowl of Wheaties that day.

I'm sure you know it has left hand threads, but they can get tight.
