Jacobs chuck

A common style of drill chuck that uses a geared outer ring along with a chuck key that engages with the geared ring to hold a drill bit very tightly. Prior to the introducion of "keyless" chucks, these were universally used on handheld power drills and drill presses. Jacobs is a trademarked brand name that has become a generic name for chucks of that style.
