My son in laws will inherit them!

Is it the Milwaukee 1/2" magnum hole shooter? They are great drills. I have a few and a old 3/8" black and decker and use them all the time. One of tbe hougen mag drills I have came new with a Milwaukee drill motor.

As for a keyless chuck. They are handy In a cordless drill but for any heavy duty or continuous work I would use tbe regular jacobs keyed chuck.
