For those that have a Rock Chuck...
Once done with a bit, I can barely get the clamping screw to release. I have had to start putting a wrench on the T-handle hex to get it to release.

I would remove the screw, clean the entire chuck and put a little lube on the screw and see if that helps.

The mightiest oak in the forest is just a little nut
that held it's ground.
if they have allen screws, replace the screw, they crack locking them.
thanks so much!

I bought a new allen screw for my RC at Ace Hardware.
Well, right or wrong, I removed the screw, and cleaned out the inside with carb cleaner. Then I coated the threads of the screw with 3-in-1 oil. May go ahead and head up to the local hardware store and get a couple of spares.
Thanks,
Dave
