If there is, I can't figure out how. I had the thing in and out of there a dozen times and it appears to just click'n'lock into place somehow - I turned and turned the turnable part(s) of the mandrel with and without the bit in there, thinking it might work like the chuck does on the drill. But it doesn't seem like turning the mandrel in the same way has any effect, so I figured it was just turnable because it has to spin when the drill is running. Looking down in the end I don't see any adjustable "teeth" that hold the bit in place, I'm guessing it's magnetic and that's what holds it once it's all the way in.

I'll have another go with it when I get back over there to see if I can make it work with what I've got, if not I'll go shopping for another bit.
