Works well for holding smaller pieces, but both my father and I (who also has one) have had trouble securing larger blanks (e.g., for a goblet). One of the bars that came with mine broke while tightening. I emailed PSI customer service to request a replacement bar and received no response. I'm going to buy a different chuck with the key instead of the bars.

I love it! I bought it to supplement my Nova Midi and I now rarely use the Nova. I turn mainly pens and bottle stoppers and the Barracuda micro chuck is the ticket.

About two weeks ago I ordered the four jaw utility chuck from PSI. I got it in three days and have been using it on a regular basis. I have to say that I am very impressed with it for what I paid for it. I could not afford one of the more expensive ones, so I thought I would try this one and figured I could return it if I needed to. Any one looking for a budget chuck should take a look at this one.
