Lathe chucks
#8
Just a side note about Albrecht chucks (I whole-heartedly concur with Anthony's assessment, BTW).

Albrecht chucks self-tighten when torque is applied on the drill bit. For this reason, you should never ever insert a drill all the way into the chuck. If the drill bottoms out as it self tightens, you'll have a heck of a time getting the chuck loose.

I always bottom the bit, then back it out about 1/4" to avoid this issue.
