What do you call this type of spanner wrench?

[D.sebens]

Whats the tool called that tightens a keyless chuck on the mill?

A hand.

Lol thanks. It looks like a automotive/motocross coil over spring adjuster would work. I didn’t have enough hand pressure to tighten it enough to keep the drill from slipping.

Pin spanner to mount the chuck itself

It looks like it would take something like this. I suppose I’ll measure it up and see which one it takes.

No need for a spanner on a keyless chuck . That's why they call it keyless . Hand tighten only or you will have issues .

If it won't tighten enough, the jaws are probably shot. If it's a premium brand there is likely a rebuild kit available for it. Until then a strap wrench will also work.

I’m healing up from a broken shoulder so I’m a little weak. I think the main issue is that I have to stretch out a bit to reach the brake and the chuck at the same time.

It’s new but cheaper. It looks like they close alright. I will give it some more chances. It was probably operator error.

Just tighten by holding the drill in the chuck and turn the knurled piece to tighten lightly . Then give it a jerk . If it doesnt tighten , the jaws may be bad as stated above . Is that an Albreght ?
