I cannot insert the drill bit - My chuck is too tight and I cannot get it to open. I have followed the instructions in the manual. Help!

Same issue! I've tried everything. My husband couldn't get it to loosen either. I haven't been able to use the drill because of it and it's too late to return it. Not a happy camper. Were you ever able to get the chuck loose?

is this drill powerful enough to attach the 'power cone' attachment for polishing the chrome wheels on my car?

I'm not sure how much power your device requires but I've found this drill to be very powerful for all my normal drilling operations.

I have to drill some screws into mdf. There are no pre-drilled holes. Is this what I want?

This drill has no clutch so unless you are pretty familiar with these drills it has the potential to get away from you when the screw bottoms out.

Does this drill have an electric brake? When you let go of the trigger,does the bit stop spinning immediately?

No, it doesn't, it will continue to spin after you let go of the trigger. At least when you just hold it in the air. In practice when you're drilling something in, I haven't found it to keep going, even with small screws.
