Yeah, I also 'know a guy' who wrapped the cord around his arm when
changing a drill bit. Now that guy has all the chuck keys attached to
the cord near the plug...

I duct tape the chuck keyholder near the plug. Sometimes the sliding holder
can cause a big surprise otherwise.

I had a friend who used to do some irritating things in the shop. One of
the tihings he did was to duct tape the chuck key holder the exact distance
from the drill that it would hang up on the bench top and prevent you from
using it.

Makita DA3000R

This is a real 3/8" variable speed right angle drill that is 3-1/2"
from the chuck tip to the back of the drill. I have one and it works
great.
