The chuck did not grab the drill bit in my cordless Black and Decker. The drill bit holder is now jammed open. How can I get it to release?

It depends on which chuck style for your black and decker power tool. A general answer would be to get a couple pair of pliers and try to open or close whatever you problem is. There are just so many chuck styles it is hard to say without looking at it.
