The reason for using an older drill that takes a chuck is so that everyone "borrowing it" can't find the chuck to take the extension out - that way, you always have it ready
Salt I had a neighbor once that came over and wanted to borrow my skill saw.
I always ask why and he said he needed to cut some sheet rock.
Are you #$%&^# kidding me I said, here use this and handed him a utility knife.
How am I supposed to use that he said.
Never mind just let me do it for you.
A skill saw on sheet rock, what the heck.

The poor kid had spent most of his life in prison and didn't know how to do anything.
