This time the Big Score is a 3 inch 3 jaw chuck on a 5c collet back plate with 3 sets of jaw (all fit) for the princely sum of 10 bucks . A piece of material for a 1 1/2-8 back plate will probably cost more than the chuck . Also got a couple of open/reversible ratchet shorty wrenches for a buck each .

I bought one of those and it has proved fairly handy but I found as supplied it had quite a bit of run-out and the chuck wasn't square. I separated the chuck from the 5C backplate and found that was badly machined but once correctly machined it now runs quite true for a cheap chuck.
