I just received my Giraud tri-way trimmer last week. It works great. However, when I tried using my old corded Dewalt drill, the shaft was just a little too short for the keyless chuck on the drill to grab it. I was able to use my battery powered drill, but it would be nice if I could run this using the corded drill. I found this on Amazon.com, but if any of you have other ideas or personal experience, please let me know.

I run mine on a old Black & Decker corded variable dill with no issues at all.

A picture of your issue is worth a thousand words.
 
When the drill head is opened up to fit the shaft of the tri-way cutter, the retaining pieces are so far back in the drill, that it can’t be tightened on to the shaft.

I see. So the jaws of the chuck just don't come out enough. Looks like you'll have to do a little MacGyvering. ;) Like, getting a long piece of a bolt to thread into the new Keyless Self-Tightening Type Drill Chuck that you linked onto so that there's a long enough piece that your corded drill and grab hold of.
