How Does A SDS Drill Chuck Work? Locking And Unlocking / Releasing Of An SDS Drill Bit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Today, we explain how the SDS chuck of a drill work: how simply pushing a SDS drill bit in the chuck can lock it into place, and how simply pulling on the rubber retaining sleeve can release / free it... mystery? No, just a clever little engineered system, that is handy to understand, especially if your SDS bit end up being stuck or if the chuck starts malfunctioning....
► TIP
Vacuum the chuck after drilling (especially into a ceiling), since dust / particles can get into the chuck and interfere with the good working of the locking/releasing mechanism (preventing the metal ball to move freely). Grease has its lubrication advantages but can also get loaded with dirt that could prevent the "release" ball from freely moving, leaving an SDS drill bit permanenlty stuck in teh chuck...
► DISCLAIMER
Always make sure you operate in a safe and secure manner.

Clear, informative, and gabble-free. How refreshing!
Me no like gabble, happy you liked it!
Wow, what a great video! If only other videos were so clear and informative. Absolutely 100% information presented in a clear, easy to understand way. Thanks for your work!
Happy you liked it, thanks for the feedback
A work of genius. I love the split screen comparing the real life with the diagram. Top marks.
Thanks for the kind feedback
Beautiful animation, simple and effective. Now I know. Thank you
Thanks Lone Rider
Thank you..thank you...I am beginner the drill bit got stuck for hours...Thanks your video helped me unlock it
Good to hear it helped, thanks for the feedback
Ingenious, and thank you for explaining clearly.
Welcome
If only all things were explained like this, maybe life wouldn't be as confusing
Thanks
I always wondered. Now I know. Also, nice backdrop on the animation. So luxe.
Another mystery solved (like I knew how it worked before being "forced" to look at it... the next video will explain)
Love it! Nice and clear and well paced.
Thanks for the feedback
Very nice and clear animation. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing now I understand how it works inside.
Thanks for your comment
Brilliant animation. Thank you. We have a big ol' hammer and the bit is now stuck in there.
Good luck with that ol' hammer, thanks for the feedback
Excellent explanation, great video.
Thanks
Very nice video
Thanks Aamil

Not always, but welcome onboard
Thank you for this. Subscribed!
Welcome to the channel Eduard
man, when he pops that drill bit back out, ohhhhh baaaaaaby.
Thanks pal, turns out mine was just the chisel had worn a bit, so wasn't catching. Reseated the bearing and gave it a clean up though, poor ol' thing
Thanks for sharing
Great 👍
👍
No one that I have noticed has said that in order to lock the tool into the sds chuck it is necessary to pull on the retaining sleeve while pushing the tool in. Works beautifully then.
Well no one said it because you do not have to....
@@TheLabOtomy Well you do on my Wickes
And also on my Aldi Powercraft
there is only one ball? from one side? or two balls symmetrically?
Only 1 ball on 1 side with this design I have seen. Maybe there are vatiations with 2 balls, haven't bumped into those yet
First time using an SDS drill - do you need to apply a lot of downward pressure? I put it in, rotate it but wont go in...
The drill bit needs to push the locking ball aside which in turn pushes against a spring, so a little bit of downward pressure is needed, but you should not have to jam it into it
My sds won't release the bits, changed all the parts except the main machined bit of metal that has the grooves/channels for the balls. Anyway after Changing the balls, spring, washers etc it's still not releasing the bits, what's went wrong, I'd really like to repair it as the motor and grear box are still perfect.
Hm... I have repaired a chuck that was not releasing the bits.. maybe that video helps?

The best
Always
I can’t get any to lock in. (I can pull it out wihout should it lock? Am I doing something wrong or could it be faulty? I’m pushing down as I put it in and turn so chisel is facing right way. (Going back to hand chiseling lol)
"I can pull it out wihout should it lock?" Yes, when pushed all the way, it should not be possible to remove the drill bit without pushing the rubber retaining sleeve all the way down
@@TheLabOtomy thank you. I am sending it back. I tried multiple bits and couldn’t get them to lock in. I will go try some instore 👍🏻
@@djloopz56 Good luck!
@@TheLabOtomymy Makita has this problem... Got my bit stuck in concrete the other day
@@DontLookBehindYou1 Always fun🙁
Mine wont hold the bit. It works fine on drill mode but when i put it on hammer to chisel it pop out. Help!!
Maybe is the metal ball stuck... I have another video where I repaired an SDS chuck, maybe that helps: ruclips.net/video/1FPiWEa9C1I/видео.html
Bonjour, Merci pour la vidéo. Pouvez vous expliquer le système SDS d'une scie sauteuse. je n'arrive pas à comprendre le mécanisme. Merci
Désolé, je n'ai jamais vu le mécanisme du système SDS d'une scie sauteuse. Ce que je sais par contre est que l'ennemi de tout systeme SDS standard est le melange graisse et la poussiere. Si la piece flottante ne circule pas librement, le mechanisme peut rester complement bloque.
Classiest tool vid music ever. Borderline inappropriate
Pardon my inexperience, but will an SDS bit or tool fit into an SDS Plus tool?
As far as I know SDS is the generic name and as a few variations SDS Plus, SDS Top, SDS Max with SDS Plus the most common for non-pro.
👌
🤟
Sometimes I wonder if SDS is not a good innovation
