| How To Change Drill Bit On Milwaukee M12 |
Step 1: Disarm Your Weapon (Safely)
First things first, safety. Always remove the battery from your drill before attempting any bit-based maneuvers. A rogue drill is the last thing you need when you're just trying to hang some shelves (or, you know, save the world with your amazing carpentry skills).
Step 2: The Chuck Whisperer
Now, let's talk chuck. This is the part of the drill that firmly holds your bit in place. The chuck is loosened by rotating the sleeve at the base of it. Think of it like a stubborn child's toy box - a little twist, and it pops open.

Pro Tip: Feeling a little weak-wristed? No worries! You can actually use the drill itself to loosen the chuck! Put the drill in reverse (that little switch that looks like it should activate a secret laser beam), squeeze the trigger gently, and the chuck should loosen up like magic. Just be careful not to go all Hulk on the trigger, or you might end up flinging your drill bit across the room (don't worry, we've all been there).
