different chucks on X2 hammers

[tbutler6]

This may be a stupid question but I noticed the X2 drill/drivers have locking single handed chucks. But the X2 drill/driver/hammer that came with my 3 piece doesn't. No big deal just wondering why. To keep price down or does the two hand job work better then the one.

My Milwaulkee hammer drills have locking single sleeve chucks and carbide teeth. I have some older ones that are not single sleeve. The single sleeve are better and the Milwalkee drills do not clunk on brake. They grip as tight as anything I have used and ratchet as well. I got them on clearance for $100 when they were replaced by the Ridgid line which I think is not as good as the "Red" brand. I do not like the HD effect on Ridgid and Ryobi lines. I have some older Ryobi tools that were made in Japan and are as good as any, before the became like B&D. Why make a high end tool that has no replacement brushes?(for example)

the best chuck i have seen in the past 2 years as arepairman is the milw. loctor chuck.
