Absolute perfect and easy to follow video. Just saved me from buying a new drill. Did it in ten mins. I couldn’t insert the Allan key as the chuck was totally broken and would not hold anything. I held it as tight as possible in a vice and cracked open the shaft with a spanner. Hey presto it came off easily. Thank you for uploading 🫡

There's nothing more annoying than having to hand-screw something together kzread.infoUgkx1McjgiqTNcTjrhvRvJWcrk5bzTeQW-Wn except for the pain in your wrist that is. This addition to my tool kit is great and I can get a lot done without all the pain and annoyance. The battery last's a long time and I have yet to run out of power when doing a small project (granted I am saying small project because I'm no construction worker). The only thing that I wish it had was an LED or pair of LEDs to indicate when it was charging and whether or not the charge was complete (or full).

Hello I'm from Brazil, it was very easy to remove the chuck with your explanations, thanks for sharing your knowledge. The model I exchanged was the DCD 796.

Ok, this is looks doable. You gave a huge favor to DeWalt. In think they are too ignorant or arrogant to admit that this kind of design held back a lot of people to buying these "screwed" models. By watching your method i might change my mind and buy one of these.

I had a chuck that was screwed from day one. This worked even smoother than your video shown. Thanks for the video.

@@rickyrickharris4908 Hi Ricky sorry for delay. So I'm in the UK and I managed to get this De Walt DT7012-QZ chuck which has worked brilliantly and was super easy to install onto my drill. it's a lot heavier than the original chuck so it kinda behaves like it's in hammer mode most of time, even drilling timber but it's fine. Works great - hope this helps

Excellent video I haven't seen this method of removing it before. I have repair videos on KZread too. I have never tried one of these chuck repairs before. Liked and subscribed well done my man.

I used my DCD 980 to mix thinset and sure enough chuck froze up so need to replace it, i watched countless videos on how to replace and hope this works. Going to get the same chuck you used, this exactly why i come to You Tube even with the annoying commercials! Thanks

I was a little sceptical about the prising off the Chuck but low and behold it came off fairly easily and I got the shaft unscrewed as pictured there are more complicated ways shown on ytube but yours is by far the quickest I’m just waiting for a replacement Chuck to arrive now. You have saved me from getting a new drill. Thanks

Although I was sceptical this method worked extremely well for me the chuck prised off very easily without any damage to the surrounding housing -maybe I was lucky for once-. The method for removing the chuck from the spindle also worked well I used an old Vileda mop metal handle cut in half for extra leverage on the allen key and Spanner which I thought would split due to the thinness of the tubular steel used in its construction but didn't. Excellent Instructions thank you very much.

Currently trying to figure out chuck removal on a DWD520, it appears to have no set screw and freely spins so hitting an allan key is pointless. I wonder if it will pull out too?

You could give it a shot. Maybe pry up a bit and see if it starts to pull up without having to use too much force. No set screw I'd think it'd be the same set up. There's always a complete disassemble and reassemble process. I hope this helps.

is this the same for a DCD740? mine is also in without a screw, but I don't have the fuel 360 degrees of prying like yours. it's the right angle drill

@DoItWithDave

2 жыл бұрын

On Amazon, in the review section of the dcd740, there's a response to someone asking if the chuck is removable and they said yes. Idk if that means Allen key and Hammer or not. I also read in an online forum that someone disassembled the housing to remove the Chuck for the 740. So I'd think it would come. Less pry area like you said. It may be possible to spin the chuck as it's being lifted up to get it on all sides. If you decide to try this and see the chuck is obviously able to be pulled away from the housing (gap between back of chuck and drill housing) it's probably a go. I hope this helps.

Mine just gave up a week out of warranty really annoyed. Used adjustables a few times and now my chuck is distorted.

Has anyone tried this on a dcb999
