Drill Chuck Keyed 13 mm PRO — keyed drill chuck, 13 mm capacity

PRO keyed drill chuck with 13 mm maximum capacity is a metal chuck designed to hold round and hexagonal shank drill bits and accessories securely. It uses a matching chuck key to achieve firm, repeatable clamping suitable for hand-held drills and drill presses that require a keyed tightening mechanism. The construction focuses on reliable bite and alignment for drilling, reaming and light driving tasks where a secure grip on the tool is essential.

Advantages

The keyed mechanism provides higher torque transmission and more positive clamping than many keyless designs, reducing slippage of round or hex shank bits under load. Hardened jaws ensure consistent gripping performance and longer wear life, while the 13 mm capacity covers a broad range of common drill sizes. The chuck is compatible with standard chuck keys and fits many drill spindles used in portable and benchtop drilling equipment.

Suitable for

• Drilling wood, metal and plastics using 13 mm and smaller drill bits
• Reaming and light counterboring where stable clamping is required
• Workshops and job sites using hand-held drills or drill presses with keyed chucks
• Applications requiring secure retention of round and hexagonal shank accessories

Key specifications

• Maximum capacity: 13 mm
• Compatibility: accepts round and hexagonal shank bits
• Clamping type: keyed tightening with matching chuck key
• Material: hardened steel jaws and steel body for durability
• Mounting: standard threaded or tapered spindle interfaces (check drill spindle type before fitting)

How to use

Open the jaws by turning the chuck sleeve counterclockwise, insert the shank of the drill bit or accessory as deep as practical, then close the jaws by turning the sleeve clockwise until finger-tight. Use the matching chuck key in the gear teeth to fully tighten the jaws, applying moderate force to avoid over-stressing the shank. Verify concentricity and secure grip before starting the drill. To remove the bit, loosen the chuck with the key and withdraw the shank.

Usage recommendations

For safe and accurate operation, select drill bits appropriate for the material and keep the chuck and key clean of debris and lubricants. Periodically inspect the jaws for wear and replace the chuck if gripping becomes inconsistent. Ensure the chuck is correctly mounted to the drill spindle and that the chuck key is removed before powering the drill.
