The Makita 3/8 in. Metal Impact Driver Keyless Chuck is a drill attachment that is made from metal. This chuck can convert an impact driver into a driver drill. It accepts round and hex shank bits.
Designed to accept round and hex shank bits
For converting an impact driver into a driver drill
A:Â I don't remember any mention of maximum speed on the package/instructions. It is for high speed use though and the limiting factor would be the bits you're using. I don't think I have ever seen any kind of chuck that had a maximum speed rating and I have used a lot of them. But there could be a first time.
Generally, impact drivers don't turn the speed that a normal drill would turn on high speed and this is basically the same chuck you would have on a drill, just with a shank that can be used with a quick release impact drive.

Q:What is the threading size for the back of the chuck?

Answer This Question
A:Â There isn't any threads on the back side of the chuck. This has a hex shank that is similar to what you might see on a driver bit. You can put it into the 'chuck' that is usually used on a cordless impact, and then you will be able to use your impact as a drill.

A:Â I know what your asking,, The Part that connects the 1/4 hex shaft to the chuck... That Shaft Threads into the Back of the Chuck and they are wanting to know what the Thread size/count is.

Not for heavy drilling
I used this on a 3/8 shank holesaw and
DeWalt 887 & Milwaukee Gen 3 impact drivers to drill 1.25" holes through 2.5 inches of wood. The DeWalt became too hot to handle after about 10 holes, so I switched to the Milwaukee, and snapped both the holesaw and the chuck after 11 more holes.
The product worked as advertised, and I found it highly useful, but it isn't durable, by any means.

Purchased the keyless bit because the piece I purchased to sharpen lawn mower wouldn't fit my ryobi impact drill. Went to tool rental area, to fit a recommendation for universal bit attachment and the Gentlemen printed me up one that wasn't in stock, I ran into the last keyless bit in the tools section. And was definitely compatible.

I bought this to use in my drill press since the chuck on it would not go small enough for the drill bit I needed to use. The wobble was so bad it wasn't usable. Not sure if it's the drill press or the chuck, because if there's a small wobble on the drill press chuck it would be amplified on this chuck because of the added length. My press might have a very slight wobble, but if so it doesn't affect the drilling I've done in the past. The chuck is intended to be used in an impact drill and it might be fine in that application where precision isn't as important. I have a cordless drill already so I don't need to convert my impact into one.

I used this to connect a power drill to the manual crank mechanism on a sit-stand desk. It works well. It's definitely a solid item and it feels well-machined. It's probably overkill for what I need- It feels like something a contractor would use, and I probably could have gotten away with using a cheaper plastic one. But I'm definitely not worried about it breaking or giving out on me.
There's actually a hole for a chuck key, but there's no gear mechanism. I don't know if adding that gear would be prohibitively more expensive but it would be nice if you could use a key if you wanted. But that's not a flaw- it's advertised as a keyless chuck and works well as such.

adapter unscrewed
I'm a sheet metal worker. i use these with my impact so i don't have to carry a drill and impact all day. i used mine about a week. like others have complained, the adapter unscrewed from the chuck when i tried to remove a bit. due to some internal ratcheting mechanism it's nearly impossible to remove the bit by gripping the chuck with two sets of pliers.
i can't belive they don't use a reverse thread screw to keep the adapter from backing out.
i exchanged it, hopefully I'll have better luck with the new one.
i had one made by jacobs that lasted about 15 years. so far i haven't found a suitable replacement. i tried two from the "green" home improvement store, $5.99 and $14.99 and both of those broke the very first hole i drilled.

Bad design and not worth the money
Experience after first use - Initially the jaw frequently loosened and released the bit. Ended up tightening the bit often. After a while it stopped loosening - so hoped it started working as desired. It wobbled a lot during the operation. When my work completed, I could not unscrew or manually loosen the jaw and release the bit.
Similar experiences have been reported by other users as well.
Not worth the $40 plus tax. Will return it.
