Power tool and chuck release tool

A chuck release tool for a power tool,

• the power tool including a chuck having a chuck body which is moved by operation of a motor of the power tool and a locking mechanism in direct connection with the chuck body for locking an operational tool within the chuck, the power tool having an adjustment mode in which operation of the motor moves the chuck body to cause the locking mechanism to move between an open position in which the operational tool is free within the chuck and a locking position in which the locking mechanism secures the operational tool within the chuck, and the power tool having a working mode in which operation of the motor moves the chuck body to drive movement of the operational tool to perform work,
• the chuck release tool having an engagement section which directly engages the chuck body to allow a user to manually move the chuck body and thereby move the locking mechanism between the locking position and the open position.
