Review on HTS 4486 Keyless Chuck, 1/32" To 1/8" Shank Rotary Tool (STEEL) by Dave Baker

HTS 4486 Keyless Chuck: An Average Rotary Tool Attachment

This keyless chuck by HTS is a decent addition to any rotary tool kit. It has a range of 1/32" to 1/8" shank size, making it versatile and able to fit different sized bits. The build quality of the chuck is durable steel, which is a plus. The main advantage of a keyless chuck is that it saves time by eliminating the need to use a wrench to tighten and loosen bits. However, in the case of this HTS chuck, it seems to be hit or miss. It doesn't always grip the bits as tightly as it should, which can lead to the bits slipping, especially when drilling harder materials. Another issue with the chuck is that it doesn't always release the bits smoothly. This can be annoying when you are trying to quickly change between different attachments during a project. Overall, the HTS 4486 Keyless Chuck is a decent addition to a rotary tool kit, but it definitely has its flaws. While it may work well for lighter materials, anything harder may require a more reliable chuck.

Pros
  • Versatile Compatibility: The HTS 4486 Keyless Chuck is designed to accommodate a wide range of shank sizes, from 1/32" to 1/8", making it a versatile choice for various types of rotary tools
Cons
  • May cause hand fatigue due to the weight and size of the chuck, especially during prolonged use
