If you're referring to the Taig chuck that comes on the Custom Power Wrap, that's a top end self-centering light duty chuck. Very good item.

However, the ALPs will do everything it claims to do. What are you going to be chucking? Rod blanks? If that's about it, then the ALPs is certainly more than good enough.

Thread Wraps,EVA,Hypalon shaping,Thread Work which needs centering and epoxy or what ever else comes along or even cutting blanks......It is the self centering 3 footed chuck not the one that uses screws to connect to the blank.
