Dewalt 18 Volt Compact Drill Kit - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

it very economical to repair the drill. replace the transmission.

hi open the chuck all the way and then look down in the centre of the chuck you should see a cross head screw unscrew and the chuck should pull out as this is on a taper system ( note the screw is left hand thread )

it is most likely stripped out and will need to be replaced

I simply placed the chuck into a large vise and turned the drill counter clockwise and the chuck spun right off no problem without damaging anything!! It does have some thread lock on the chuck but just use your man strength and its as simple as turning the lid off the pickle jar! Do not waste your time or money with the removal tool...YOU DONT NEED IT!

What is the residual voltage on your battery, if it is too low, charger will not engage. If the voltage is below the threshold allowed, simply jolt the Nickel Cadmium battery with a car charger to bring it up, then install on charger.

This one of your best bets:

If it is a keyless chuck, try resting the chuck on a wooden work bench, and with a dead-blow hammer aka: shot hammer, slant-strike the chuck in the unscrew direction.

The speed switch on top may be in between speeds. Try it in a different speed. If not the top switch, the the trigger may be bad. Does reverse work?

are you installing the bit correctly. is the chuck defective... is the a name for the product. does it have a keyless chuck... are you inept ???

it sounds like you will need to replace the chuck on the drill. a worn chuck or a cheep brand may be your trouble.buy a good Jacob chuck and this will most likely fix your problem

Sorry, but what's the HAV?

Hi, although Im not familiar with this model they are roughly the same. First, unplug the charger. Has the battery been inserted the correct way round? Press firmly on both the locking buttons on the battery while pulling away from the charger, do not use excessive force at any stage(Ensure Charger is not plugged in at the mains)Allow the charger to cool before trying again if unsuccessful. Is there any sign of overheating on the charger or battery? Is there any smell of overheating or burning? If there has been a fault with either charger or battery its not uncommon for them to weld themselves together!! If this has happened Im afraid a new battery & charger.Please let me know how you get on(you can use a desk fan to speed-up the cooling process.) Jon..

use a10mm torque driver

YOU DON'T SAY WHAT MODEL IT IS. IT COULD BE JUST THE BRUSHES NEED CHANGING.

chuck shaft bent threw dropping Re: Jeff

Your cluck is worn and needs to be replaced, below is a link to a video of how to remove the chuck.Link:

Make sure the torque selector which is the black ring with numbers and a drill symbol on it behind the chuck is rotated to the drill image for drilling and general purpose use.

My guess is that the bit twisted a little in the bit holder so the steel ball is bound. If the collar moves you could try a slide puller on the bit and see if you can impact it out with the slide puller. Or you could take the bit holder apart. There is a retaining ring that holds it all together right on top. Pull that off and a washer, spring and the collar will come off. Becarefull to watch for the steel balls on the spindle. They WILL fall out! Now hopefully the bit will come out. If not it may need to be twisted in the oposite direction that it got stuck when you were using it to break it free. Hope that helps and good luck!
