   Still, in-person transactions aren't foolproof, at least when I'm the   
   fool. Went to a local Ace store and asked for a chuck key to fit a   
   3/8" Jacobs chuck with a 15/64ths (0.234") pilot. The pilot's right,   
   fits just fine. but the pinion gear is too big.   
      
   It's a nice bike ride to return it and I don't think they'll give me   
   much pushback if i want to exchange it for the right part, but that   
   was a one star deal too.   
      
   Thanks for writing!

   Is the K number of the key stamped in tiny letters on the chuck?   
      
   If you find one with the right gear but too small a pilot you could sleeve   
   it with hobby store brass tubing, stretched to almost fit and pressed on.
