A chuck including a body having a nose section, a tail section and a center axis, the nose section defining an axial bore and a plurality of passageways. A plurality of jaws is disposed in the passageways, a nut is rotatably mounted about the body so that rotation of the nut either moves the jaws toward or away from the center axis, and a sleeve that is rotatably mounted about the body, the sleeve being rotatable with respect to the nut between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. An annular array of locking teeth is non-rotatable with respect to one of the body and the nut. A lock ring includes a projection and is axially movable so that, when engaged, the projection and the locking teeth prevent the lock ring from rotating in the opening direction with respect to the body. |
