I think for this to become a "sticky", someone would have to ask Jeff or a mod to do it....Id sticky it but I dont think Im allowed those functions 
Thanks for the thank you's tho, Im glad I could help so many....when I figured it out, I immediately checked aboout a half dozen atties I **thought** were DOA/Dead/cold but realized this was an easily fixed prob

I was thinking a sticky with the care and feeding of a Chuck would be a good idea. It could include links to this post; a link to the post where Jeff told us about the automotive polish; instruction to never tighten that screw, etc. I'm sure there are lots of worthwhile tips that I don't know.
No conversation -- the info tends to get buried that way and questions can always be put in another thread -- just info.

A sticky locked thread, good idea!
What about auto polish and screwing? If you find it bump it.
Great info CTJ, I was checking atty's today and now know what to look for in such an event.

I just got myself a big chuck and a little chuck for my wife. They are both 510 and mine works fine with 510 atties or carts and the adapter from Jeff. My wife's will only work with a 510 atty, if I try the adapter it won't fire. Any ideas?
Once I get enough posts I won't have to thread jack anymore and can then post some pics of our chucks in use. Until then sorry.

screw adapter onto atty first then into chuck....or try vice versa...the middle section seats when it screwed together but general rule of thumb is adapter to atty, then onto device Hope that helps!
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the advise. My atty on the DSE901 is inset so I just needed to pull it dowm about 1 mm to have it owrk on my KR808D batteries. People on this forum are not only friendly and helpfull but also quite adept at figuring out solutions. Thanks again.

I am bumping this up.
I forgot where in ECF I saw it but if you use cartos and they are hard to draw on...808's seem so much harder to draw than just throwing on a 510....then use this little trick with your adapters.
It is exactly the same principle the CTJ has. The top of the adapter has a regular screw head on it. Take a screwdriver and twist the inside head up so it raises up some. The carto will now not screw all the way down. (don't over tighten the carto) and blammo! Super easy draw.
Not my idea, its on a tips and tricks thread somewhere but I definately thought it would be worth mentioning down here in chuckland.

I get about two turns so I am thinking it is all good. Just don't adjust while it is on your device, that could be bad too. Works great for me, I have about 75 plus 808 cartos to use up and this trick along with my little adapter stash works well.
Thanks, glad its helping yas! I also appreciate the advice on hard draw cartos!
I believe he's talking about the screw on the adapter--you don't need to adjust while connected to the carto.
Just saw this thread and need to ask....that center piece on the atty has no 'ledge' on it to get a grip and raise it up. Is it all right to grab the inside of the hole with something tiny (dental tool) and raise it up that way?
YES! just be gentle whatever method you choose and you will be fine. Ive NEVER ruined any attys doing this and have used tweezers, toothpicks, nails (both wall nails and fingernails ) and never dismantled a thing...but I KNOW theres a wire attached SOMEWHERE to it so i try and be as gentle as possible.
