Universal drill chuck

Eldred Laubsch from Nebraska called in response to last month's inquiry about a chuck for a ½-in. corded drill. Laubsch says that, if the thread size is correct for a universal chuck, the chucks for drills can be found at national hardware stores like Menards and Home Depot. He recently purchased a chuck at Menards.

Also, in response to the question about finding a Brady chisel plow, Laubsch suggests going to Web sites that list used equipment, like Tractorhouse.com and MachineryLink.com. He also suggests putting up a free, want-to-buy ad on a local Web site like Fastline.
