Re: The chuck for my reciprocating saw seized up due to...
Use some penetrating fluid and gently work it back and forth until it frees up, the replacement parts cost around 20.00 if you need them. Let me know if you need more assistance

It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with your Kobalt 24v brushless reciprocating saw. There could be a few potential causes for the saw to seize when the trigger is pulled and the blade won't move. Here are a few things you can try:
Check the battery: Make sure that the battery is fully charged and properly installed in the saw. If the battery is low or not seated correctly, the saw may not have enough power to operate.
Check the blade: Make sure that the blade is properly installed and tightened. If the blade is not properly installed or tightened, it may cause the saw to seize.
Check the motor: If the motor is not functioning properly, it could cause the saw to seize. You may need to have the motor checked by a professional if this is the case.
Check for debris: If there is debris stuck in the blade or in the saw, it could cause the saw to seize. Carefully remove any debris that you find.
If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to take the saw to a repair shop or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
May need cleaning. Try using air pressure to clean. If not disassembling may be necessary to further look for problem. Could be rear bearing seized also. In any case don't use until you fix the problem or you'll burn it out.
Hi, Getting a broken blade our of the sawzall chuck can be difficult and require some ingenuity and patience... Sometimes there be enough blade left so that you can grab it with a needle nose pliers... othertimes it is flush and that makes it more difficult... holding the chuck in the release position and rapping the saw against a table or with a hammer can jiggle the piece out....of course you have the chuck pointed down while you do that... Also moving the piece around a bit with a stiff wire and also soaking the chuck and blade with WD-40 helps also.... Usually it will take a combination of these things and some persistance to get the job done...
I would continue to use the rust remover/penetrating oil products, put a pair of vice grips on the chuck grip and use a hammer to tap the grips. Hopefully this will free it up. It's not very elegant and you probably have already tried similar methods but it's the best idea that I have. Also you could soak the chuck portion in penetrating oil (chuck submerged only) overnight. Good luck!
It seems it has seized from rust or corrosion. Try using some penetrating oil or just get a new chuck. Mine did the same thing and I just replaced the chuck altogether.
usually you would remove the chuck first under my name in the profile section is the tip for chuck removal, it is a standard thread probably 1/2-13. As far as the gears go try the site Milwaukeetool.com and type in your model number for a parts explosion. Let me know if I can help further
being that new, it should not have seized up, all you can do is try spraying wd40 into the chuck between the teeth and mandrill. if it doesnt work, replace the chuck, it is fairly inexpensive
