Craftsman Electric Drill 31510113 2015: Chuck removal on a Craftsman power drill

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:21:51 -0700

I have a model 315. 101 100 that I bought many years ago. I would like to attach it to a Craftsman Dowling jig which requires the removal of the Chuck. Most Chucks unscrew counterclockwise once a screw is removed, from the barrel of the Chuck.

Using a bright light, I see no screw, nor hex nut to remove. The base of Chuck has two flattened sides so as to accept an incredible thin wrench 🔧. The wrench might have come with the drill when bought, but is presently absent, and local tool stores carry no such wrench.

What do you recommend ? Can I lock the Chuck on a 90° HEX wrench and strike it hard in a CCW direction ?

None of the available replacement batteries indicate that they specifically replace my original 130156001 battery for use in my 315,119100 drill and 259260 charger. Is there a suitable replacement that works with my drill and charger ?

My Craftsman drill, model 315.114852, "Torque Adjustment Ring" is stuck and I can't turn it to select different torque settings. How can I fix this so I can use different settings? Thanks.
