Hope video attachment works.
Turning the chuck but it barely moves and then just locks when I press the button that is supposed to enable the jaws to open and close.
Any tips?

Do a search for 'can't get chuck bit out' and you'll see loads of hints and videos. Sure to be some good advice among them.0

that looks a little like the drill bit was too large for the drill in the first place, I'd be tempted to try and pull it out with pliers

Push the button down really firmly and keep it down firmly. Then wiggle the chuck ring a little. the button may go in a little further then grasp the ring and rotate anti-clockwise while keeping that button down hard.

Have you tried WD40? I would also try to get the drill bit held in a vice. If you don't have a vice, a local garage might let you use theirs or will do the job for you.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

have you tried tapping the 3 jaws gripping the bit with a screwdriver and hammer, one of them may just be jammed.
