Received my barracuda 2 Chuck and it's GREAT!! Does'nt have a back pate but that has nothing to do with it's performance,It works like it's supposed to.GREAT Product at a GREAT Price.Don't know how Amozon can do it But their prices Beat a lot of sellers.Have been a loyal Amazon Costomer and look forward to my next Purchase,as for this Chuck For the Price it can't be BEAT!! You can spend much more and get much LESS,so go ahead and order one of these(CSC3000C)and you won't be Dissapointed!!With all the extrasJaws you get in the kit plus the Case to keep it in it's too good to pass up this bargan,I love Mine and plan on using it a lot....Happy Turning....until we meet again....Rykaman....My rating is a definite (5) STARS!!!!!

Chuck Key Slips [Posted on 2008-05-17]
It's ok for the money but not great. The chuck key slips off the teeth in the chuck when you try to tighten the jaws. You need to be exactly on them and apply downward pressure as you tighten. It holds ok but seems to loosen up and the wood flys out occasionally. Old adage, you get what you pay for. If I were to buy another one,it would be a Oneway.

Best overall chuck [Posted on 2008-05-31]
This is the chuck I turn to (sorry) most often and I think works the best. It's lots cheaper than the Nova and works as well or better. For those that find the jumbo jaws too small, get the Bill Grumbine video and then make the compression chuck he shows you...you'll never use the jumbo jaws again.

very good chuck [Posted on 2008-08-26]
This is an excellent tool. It's my first lathe chuck, but I can't imagine any other one being easier to use or more functional.

A wood chuck to lust for [Posted on 2008-09-06]
I received the Barracuda chuck promptly in excellent condition, all parts accounted for. Installation was simple and the directions straightforward. I have used this item for several different operations and have been duly impressed with its performance.
