5/8" Rohm Supra Keyless Drill Chuck - Made in Germany - $60 (Portland OR Area)

Not a great chuck, okay but not worth $60 imo.
 
I don't own one, but I was under the impression they were pretty good. Or, is it because they just aren't as good as an Albrecht?
 
They are good but the Supra is low in the line. The ROhm Spiro is a superb chuck but no parts available for rebuilds.
 
Ah yes, I was confusing the two. Thanks for making that clear.
 
I will throw in my view that Rohm is not great stuff. A decade ago I spent $60 on a 3/8" chuck from Enco on sale. Keyless chuck, looked pretty nice, operates smoothly but I don't think it has much holding power compared to a well worn and abused Albrecht or a made in China Shars branded one I have. I am not bashing Rohm, I am just leery of their stuff now. I also have a recent manufacture made in China Jacobs keyless that holds infinitely better than the Rohm. The Jacobs is a fine chuck, the question is will it last decades or not, time will tell but it holds well and the runout is in Albrecht territory.
 
I have both a Rohm and an Albrecht keyless chucks, I hate them, either they don’t tighten enough or are so tight, you need 2 pipe wrenches, to open them up. I do use a 1/2” Rohm keyed drill chuck and a 3/4” Jacobs keyed drill chuck on my drill presses.
