The host tests nine different brands of cordless drills to see if a secret locking chuck feature—turning the chuck counterclockwise after tightening—works across the board, concluding that most brands (including Ryobi, Ridgid, Makita, Bosch, and a user review of DeWalt) support the feature while a few support lines (DeWalt and Harbor Freight) are unaware of it.
