Surgical drill chuck key (A hand-held device designed to close and tighten the adjustable jaws of a surgical drill chuck onto a cutting tool, normally a drill bit or other rotational cutting tool, for a firm grip. It is inserted into any one of three side holes that are spaced around the inner barrel of the chuck, and will engage the geared portion of the outer barrel. When rotated, the key will turn the outer barrel, which in turn closes and locks the jaws of the chuck upon the cutting tool. To loosen, the reverse action is taken. It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel to resist the corrosive effects of sterilization processes. This is a reusable device.)
