I did notice the chuck seemed to lack lubrication, so for the moment
I've oiled it a little. Maybe that'll help. Still, the convenience
of not needing a key is very tempting. It's amazing it took me this
long to lose the original key...guess I didn't use it much.

I normally tighten key chucks with just one of the three holes but...
when slipping problems occur I'll go around and tighten the bit with
all three holes which usually stops it from slipping. Maybe you
already know this but a lot of people don't. Chuck instructions often
tell you to use all three holes but who reads instructions😄️

That chuck I suggested cost 2/3rds the price of the drill I put it on.
The keyless chuck it replaced was miserable junk so it was a huge
improvement in my case...
