There are a great many similar items on the market these days at a variety of prices and in spite of the claims very few are truly heavy duty - most are copies of copies from a few manufacturers (usually China) and are label engineered and best suited to the home workshop and occasional user.
A true heavy duty version is very different - very much heavier and with a rack-and-pinion operated tiltable table, a more powerful continuous rated motor and many refinements that suits the machine to continuous workshop use. Such a machine as this would usually cost at least double and most commonly three, four or five times of the common imported type.
The first type has little value as a used machine other than what cash a purchaser can be persuaded to pay for it, in fact if it is bought with the usual accessories; a set of T bolts, a good machine vice and a collection of Morse taper drill bits, the price would more than double, the accessories being worth more than the pillar drill.
The industrial rated tool in good condition does retain a good used value but again it is worth only what the market will pay.
I suggest you peruse a variety of tool catalogues.

Are you talking about the chuck key? That's the little wrench with a collar of gear teeth on it.
There are only a few standard sizes plus a couple of odd-balls. Last time I looked, Sears carried a good selection. If you have the old one, take it with you to the store. If you don't have the old one, find a way to measure or approximately measure what you need. Another chuck key that doesn't fit can be a useful reference. If you can find something (maybe a drill bit) that is a close fit into one of the three holes in the chuck, that can be useful too.

The chuck is held in by the tapered shaft and friction. Make sure the tapered shaft on the chuck is clean with no burrs. Do the same for the socket side in the spindle. Swing the table out of the way and set a wood block under the chuck. Bring the spindle/chuck down into the block quite firmly which should lock the two tapered parts together. Hope this helps as it worked on my drill press!
SOURCE: How do I open the
Hi Tony,
To remove the bit with a keyless chuck, just turn the chuck to
the right (looking from the handle to the front) to open the jaws. To
put in another bit, tighten the chuck to the left to close. You have to
use both hands. You will see where the ridged portion of the chuck is in
two sections. Hold on to the back section with your left hand to keep
it from turning while you turn the front section with your right hand.
A
lot of the time I just push the button to put the drill in reverse,
hold on the front section of the chuck and turn it on. It will loosen by
itself. Then when you put the new bit in, put it in forward and hold on
to the chuck and press the switch. The bit will be in nice and tight.
Good luck.
Please place a vote when you accept this solution.
Thanks,
