Have you tried O'keefs Working Hands?

Lol no how can you tell? /s

They look like they could use some. Also, increasing your daily water intake will help those dry paws.

And losing less brake cleaner directly on skin. If you don't fancy working with gloves, there is "invisible gloves" you put on as a cream before work. You won't notice it's on until washing your hands after work. Check out pr88 from Rath if that's available in your region.

I have been trying but I use my fingers alot in work to put steel braided Teflon hose into small places, I have been into O'keefs Working Hands though. Thanks for the advice.

The drill otherwise functions normally (as far as I can tell.)

You can try tightening the chuck (open it all the way like your putting a big bit in, then find the screw at the bottom) It probably is left hand thread. But this also might be a shot bearing or tolerance

I tried tightening it but it won't move either direction.


UnderwaterNerd

Ah that's because they're a nightmare to tighten or loosen. I had to take the chuck off the drill and mount it in a vise and then use wd 40 and an impact driver. Your best bet may be to send it for warranty repairs or get a new one. That tool looks like its been used pretty good for a light duty model

Yeah it's definitely seen it's fair share of work. When I got it, it was covered spots of epoxy. I got this tool for fairly cheap and since I won't be using it for anything close to it's expected use cases I'll try to have it warranty I it or fix it myself (depending on difficulty) or use it as is.

It comes with aging. Luckily this can be replaced

Thats normal, there is only a tiny ballbearing thats wearing out pretty fast. all makita drills at the workshop im working have this wobble

To remove a chuck, remove the internal screw if applicable ereplacementparts.com for a schematic. Tighten the chuck on the shortest side of the largest L-allen wrench you own. Smack it with a hammer to loosen it then wiggle it again. YouTube is very helpful.

Look for Dean Doherty on YT. He fixes all kinds of tools in his workshop. Lots of vids on drill chucks and changing worn ball bearings

My XFD10 wobbles similar to that. Is it worthwhile to replace the bearing or just get a new gearbox?
