Then you have forgetting the chuck key in the chuck (duck!)

I have a serious suggestion to solve that problem. I am a shop (carpentry)
teacher, and it is convenient, impossible to loose a key, and safe.

Tape (or buy a holder) the chuck key to the power cord, about a foot from
the plug.

You have to unplug the drill while changing bits. (good idea)
You keep from misplacing the chuck key (a good thing)
You never will turn on the drill press with the chuck key in the drill. (a
very good thing)
