The chuck (10) includes a jaw assembly (20) that is adjustable between open and closed positions, a threaded shaft (50) in operable communication with the jaw assembly (20), and at least one clutch member (72). Each clutch member (72) is adjustable between an engaged position and a disengaged position.
