I have a Utility Grip chuck and a Barracuda 2 ... both from PSI.
They are both "C" type chucks, so the jaw selection I have for both of them are fully interchangeable, which is really nice ... I don't have to worry about keeping my jaws separate.
I've only had them a short while, so I can't really give you any information about how well they hold up over time, but so far I'm really liking both of them.
Before I got these, my only chuck was a 3-jaw scrolling jaw chuck from Harbor Freight ... 2.5 inches across. Smooth jaw faces, made for metalworking mini lathes ... the jaw type was a 3-tier stepped jaw and it IS reversible, but it's a serious pain in the royal rumpus to get the jaws properly aligned. I only tried ONE TIME to do that, and it took me 4 hours to get it back together .... never again!
This same 3-jaw mini chuck is the one that I always grab first, when doing a project. It's tiny, not a lot sticks out to hit my knuckles, if I'm working on small projects, it's reliable ... tightens with a small pair of tommy bars. Last, but not least, it was cheap! It cost me around 35 dollars, and it opens up to almost 1.5".
If I have a project that needs to be clamped more securely, or that needs to have a tenon or dovetail larger than 1.5", then I grab one of my larger chucks ... they are very HEAVY. This tiny little mini chuck isn't much more than 1 pound. The big woodworking chucks are 5 lbs or more!
