Bit tighten stuck open
If you mean the chuck jaws seem stuck open, spray around them with some penetrating oil or spray like WD-40, RP-7 or similar and let sit for a couple hours... Then you can tap around the chuck body with a light hammer or spanner etc... just lightly tap... Then if the chuck has an arbor lock to prevcent it from spinning, be sure that is engaged then try to release the chuck jaws. Sounds like they are stuck open through tight friction or rusting on the inside edges (that you dont see). Be careful not to leave them in the fully open position when stored as this is exactly what can happen!
