Interesting.  Apparently DeWalt has found a way to save $.35 on each drill.
According to a forum post I turned up with Google, they use Loctite instead
and it can "be a bear" to remove.

However, the instructions on DeWalt's site essentially echo those I gave.

And the parts explosion seems to show the DW100 has a threaded chuck (with
no holding screw).

So I'd conclude you just need a bigger hammer ...
