If you need to be instructed in how to set up a tool you are unlikely to use said tool correctly or well. It is important to be aware of your actual skills when engaged in things like home or car repair.

    I've used tools before that I knew how to use, but this particular model had a weird latch or something.
    It's entirely plausible someone who is totally capable of drilling a hole to hang a picture might have never needed to use a drill with a chuck key.

    Maybe. Who knows.

    If you don’t know how to use a chuck key Im going to presume you need supervision while drilling.

    I honestly wouldn't. If you've only used a drill with a keyless chuck knowing you need to put a little knobbed gear on a stick into a hole and twist it to change bits is not what a lot of people would expect.

    You're probably not getting a job in construction, but if you're looking to put up a coat rack or something you're fine.
