Craftsman Drill will not unlock
I have this 16.8v cordless craftsman drill that is about 5-6 years old. I got a drill bit stuck into in and it wouldn't unlock. There is no chuck to unlock the drill just a twist system. The top of the drill bit snapped off. I believe the dril bit is still unevenly. I have been trying for so long to get it out but it will not unlock and the bit is not budging. I just took apart my drill but it still does not seem possible to get to the bit.

Channel locks are a slip joint pliers. If you have a large enough pliers, they will work, or a pipe wrench. If not go anywhere they sell tools and ask.
Best to buy name brand slip joint pliers [channel lock, craftsman, etc.] The el cheapo's are often reffered to as knuckle busters

Channel Lock
This is a brand name for slip-joint pliers, sometimes called plumbers pliers. The jaw size is adjustable to fit a variety of different sized objects. Hope this helps. Good luck.
I too have a Craftsman drill with an inferior chuck. It does not "lock up" but it is tight and does not work freely. I have lubricated it with no success. I may end up replacing the chuck with a Jacobs chuck. Sorry for the digression.
