Drill Chuck with Key PRO 16 mm – model qws16501/tws500

Drill Chuck with Key PRO 16 mm – model qws16501/tws500 is a keyed chuck designed to accept drill bits with round or hex shanks up to 16 mm diameter. It provides mechanical clamping via a tightening key for secure retention of bits during drilling. The chuck is suitable for use with handheld drills and drill presses that accommodate a 16 mm chuck and is intended for general-purpose drilling in materials such as wood, metal and plastics.

Advantages

The keyed mechanism allows strong, repeatable tightening and prevents bit slippage under load. Its 16 mm maximum capacity covers a wide range of commonly used drill bit sizes, while compatibility with round and hex shanks gives additional flexibility. Constructed for mechanical reliability, the chuck delivers consistent concentricity and firm holding force required for routine drilling operations.

Suitable for

• Handheld electric drills that accept a 16 mm chuck
• Bench or pillar drill presses compatible with a 16 mm chuck
• General drilling in wood, metal and plastic materials
• Tasks requiring repeatable, secure bit clamping with a key

Key specifications

• Maximum capacity: 16 mm
• Accepts: round and hex-shank drill bits
• Clamping method: keyed tightening with a chuck key
• Mount type: suitable for drills accepting a 16 mm chuck (check drill spindle compatibility)
• Intended applications: general-purpose drilling in wood, metal, plastics

How to use

Open the jaws of the chuck by turning the sleeve counterclockwise, insert the drill bit so it seats centrally between the jaws, then tighten the jaws by turning the sleeve clockwise while using the provided key to achieve final torque. Ensure the bit is aligned and seated to maintain concentric rotation. Before starting the tool, verify the chuck key has been removed and the bit is secure. Use appropriate drill speed and feed for the material being worked on.

Usage recommendations

For safe and optimal performance, periodically inspect the jaws for wear or damage, clean debris from the chuck, lubricate moving parts lightly as recommended by the drill manufacturer, and always remove the key before powering the tool. Match bit type and speed to the material to extend chuck and bit life.
