Abstract
A drill has a chuck with a body member and a bore to receive a cutting tool. A plurality of jaw members are coupled with the body to retain the cutting tool in the bore. A mechanism to secure the cutting tool in the jaws is coupled with the body. The mechanism applies a biasing force on the jaw members which enables the jaw members to slide on the body between a locked position securing the cutting tool in the jaw members and an unlocked position which enables egress and ingress of the cutting tool into and out of the jaw members.
