I have a DeWalt keyless drill model #D21008K that I loaned to a friend of mine.
Apparently, he left it outside and now the keyless chuck won't disengage. I checked the Dewalt site and can't find any useful information for this...
If any of you folks have had this problem, I'd appreciate suggestions.
Save your typing time if you are going to tell me to have my friend buy me a new drill. I'd prefer to save the drill I have If I can.
Smart answers are fun, but USEFUL answers are respected.

WD-40 is a lubricant and not a penetrant. Use a product called PB Blaster. Spray a generous amount on your chuck and let sit for about a half hour. Then try it.
LPS also makes a spray called Presolve Cleaner and Degreaser. It also uses citrus as a penetrant. I have a customer that swears by the LPS. May be harder to locate and cost more than the PB Blaster but, it is another option.
PS: If you need a new drill, contact me and I will hook you up with that too. LOL

Tap the bit case a few times on something hard, then use a latex glove or similar item to improve your grip on the chuck tightener. This should help with your control and won't damage the drill.
If that doesn't work, try vice grips. You'll be more likely to scratch things up, but you can be sure to apply a LOT of torque.

Had this problem. Lightly tap the the drill bit or other tool stuck in the chuck with a ball peen hammer, TOWARD the chuck. This will break the tension on the corrosion and the chuck should open. In my case it was a drain snake. I disassembled the drum and found a nice round bolt head to tap on. I could actually feel it when it gave.

WD-40 is good, but there are much better penetrators for loosening tight bolts (Or Drill Chucks, see reference link) Once its free'd then you'll need to clean and work the drill ALOT. Then when your satisfied with its operation you need to spray it with a rust inhibitor, or dry silicone film lubricant (Something that wont make your drill oily)

Spray the hell out of it with WD 40 and leave it overnight. Next day, put it in a vise and use a pipe wrench to turn it. Clamp vise on the one part that you hold and turn the other with the pipe wrench. (you can do the same with two pipe wrenches, but it's more awkward.)
Oh, and have your friend buy you the wrenches. (There, I've fulfilled both criteria)

you should be able to spray it wiht a rust blaster and let it soak awhile.Then try and work the chuck back and forth to loosen it.If this doesnt work.I worl at Lowes and we have replacement chucks reasonably priced.Sometimes after you get it loose...the blaster with need to be removed with a good cleaner...so it will grip the bits without slipping.

Unfortunatly you will probably have to replace the chuck as it may be rusted , unless you can tak it off and clean it '

you can replace the chuck, just remember that it attached with a left hand thread screw(torx). you can get a chuck at most hardware stores or tool shops
