Based on the fact that the previous one lasted for less than 100 hours. The jury is still out on this one.

The chuck does not lock and hold the bitt, even when I tightened it past where I felt it was tight. I had to revert to using my old chuck after damaging 2 x workpieces by pulling the bitt down into the wood.
