I have a Hitachi WH 18 DFL cordless impact driver, which I love. It has the quick release system for changing bits. I was doing a little bit of heavy drilling, and now the drill bit is stuck. The sleeve extends as if to release the bit, but the bit doesn't budge. The bit is not bent. I am stymied. Can you help?

My guess is that the bit twisted a little in the bit holder so the steel ball is bound. If the collar moves you could try a slide puller on the bit and see if you can impact it out with the slide puller. Or you could take the bit holder apart. There is a retaining ring that holds it all together right on top. Pull that off and a washer, spring and the collar will come off. Becarefull to watch for the steel balls on the spindle. They WILL fall out! Now hopefully the bit will come out. If not it may need to be twisted in the oposite direction that it got stuck when you were using it to break it free. Hope that helps and good luck!

How do i insert bit in cordless dewalt keyless hex chuck?

It only accepts 1/4" hex shank bits and nut drivers. Mine just pops in and to release it, you push the black collar around the bit down. Cannot put round end bits in it. Only hex shanks

The screw point got stuck inside of the makita

Low quality steel drill bits get stuck in the Makita because the hammer impact squashes the metal, forming a ridge that gets snagged on the anvil's steel ball bearing. Use only impact drill bits.

I have a 18 volt makita cordless impact driver i can not get the driver bit out it seems to be stuck in the chuck very tight

Try holding the bit with pliers and running in reverse, maybe with a shot of oil. That might free it up. You can also try tapping it (firmly) on the side of the bit

How do i put a drill bit?

An impact driver won't work very well as a drill. In fact it will probably break drill bits in anything but very soft material (like drywall). A drill bit needs a smooth continuous motion, because it cuts continuously as it turns. An impact driver turns with a staccato motion.

Try to keep your drill straight and try a bit harder - looks like you were drilling something very heavy.

Dewalt 18 volt cordless drill the chuck is stuck in the fully open position and wont close

Use a pipe wrench on it to give yourself a little more leverage. It is simply jammed all the way open and it will release when you apply enough force.
