I'm with mtsgsd

My Makita - if I really want to lock it in, use two hands on the rubber and plastic ring and no slippy. Also, is it possible that dtheriault's problem is that his clutch isn't set right and that IT is spinning? Set the clutch to the drill symbol. I want to find one like my old Milwalkee where you can put your hand behind the drill axis, instead of under like the new Dewalts. THe new design is not as ergonomic and your wrist can get tired using it a lot for assembly, etc.
