How to repair a Dewalt DCD796 drill stuck in Hammer mode. And remove the chuck.

This is a very common problem for the Dewalt DCD796 brushless drill spacificly.
Normaly happens when someone uses the hammer mode function for masonry.
The gear housing js only made from plastic and cannot handle the hammer mode.
It normally melts the plastic housing, but in this case, it broke the hammer selector lever.
A full gearbox stripdown is needed to repair this problem, and the chuck needs to be removed.

Glad to see you're back from the hack! Really missed the videos yesterday

[@deandohertygreaser]

thats, im so glad to get it back

[@soundslight7754]

It looked so complicated at first but the more I watched, the more clear it became. Thank you Dean for sharing

[@liamcinq]

In the words of the man himself "That's her, one KZbin channel up and running again, ready for work!" Outstanding Dean, you got back in really fast. All is well in the world again now. Well done.

[@doctorlefthandthread]

Great that you got it back the Internet needs more repair men not less

[@Annathroy]

I'm glad you're back. You inspired me to start my own repair business

[@robertmorin6495]

Great method for the chuck removal. This video will serve as a great reference repair for anyone trying to fix a Dewalt drill.

[@0rtmasta]

i love the level of detail Dean. It's perfect. Your commentary and considerations are all excellent. This is a wonderful resource for us all.

[@josh-yy8wx]

This couldn't have come at a better time guy on site has a few with this problem so I said I'd have ago for him with deans help. Dean you have saved me over a thousand pound with your videos I'm forever grateful, repaired 6 of my tools

[@Navigull]

Phew! Seeing video pop up s was a relief after I searching KZbin for Dean Doherty yesterday after realising there had been no new videos and found the help message. I really felt quite ill. Then got a thrill today especially since I have a DCD796 sitting in a box with a sheared off chuck shaft. I only became aware of the damage when I went to drill a small hole in wood the chuck just stopped rotating, no bang or any other indication of the breakage. Now thanks to this video I have the confidence to go on the lookout for a similar faulty drill to cannibalise as purchasing a whole new front end is too expensive. P.S. Last week I followed Dean’s advice when with confidence gained I replaced a bearing in my sons Milwaukee angle grinder that he was about to throw in the scrap. (an NSK that cost $10 NZ dollars) Thanks Dean.

Glad to have you back Dean!

[@Lalele401]

Hi Dean...watching from Germany. So good to see you back where you belong...!!!

[@Branno46]

I’m amazed you did that so fluently, you have to be an expert for all them bits , for correct installation 😊

[@plunder1956]

Very glad to see your channel back in business Dean. I hope it wasn't too difficult.

[@robertdascoli949]

The instant I saw the tesla stream I knew it was the crypto scam. Glad your channel is back!

[@deandohertygreaser]

You and me both!

[@bionicman6969]

The fact of the matter is all the tool repair men I deal with will not completetly gut the tool like Dean does so we've had to learn it ourselves as the boys beat the living hell out of the tools every day. There is no one better to show you the gutting and reassembly. Cheers Dean I'd love buy you a beer or ten.

[@darylhudson777]

I appreciate you highly Dean as there are not many in this world left that are willing to share their knowledge freely to help us all. I hope to have employment soon and if I make enough I will be gifting you. I would love to send you a small token of my gratitude hoping that every time you look at it or use it you will get a smile on your face remembering you have brothers all over the world and sisters too haha

[@daviddavies1596]

Great to see yo back online Dean!

[@MichaelWilhelm-tf8vy]

WELCOME BACK!!! Glad to see you managed to get access to your channel. 🎉😊

[@michaelpippin9487]

I’m so happy you got your channel back your videos are how I relax after a hard day at work

[@stoffes]

glad u got it back! i was worried there! !!! for sure

[@georgedavall9449]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend of Tool Repairs, Dean Doherty! Wow, she has seen some rough service? It always amazes me the shape some of these tools are in! I believe in use, not abuse. I have this same drill, USA Version, and I completely agree regarding the Hammer Drill function. Otherwise a great little drill. I use it primarily for drilling Pocket holes and misc stuff. The amount of planetary gears and all in that thing amazes me. Good stuff Dean!

[@1978JonBullock]

Such a detailed breakdown video with running comments on how to reassemble. Thanks Dean.

[@ilovetractors40]

Graet to see you got your chanel back

[@ozmobozo]

Welcome back Dean!

[@JohnKnox-di6xl]

He’s back!

[@shoopnooop2952]

I'm happy you've got your channel back! luckily you still have your videos some people aren't as lucky.

[@paulnye1899]

Excellent video. I had the same problem with my hammer drill and attempted to repair it but got hopefully lost in re-assembly. I ended up ordering a new part. Of course it now works like new AND I now have box of spare parts. Thank you.

[@Utuber-x44]

He's back!! So glad!

[@glennrostron416]

Just done mine without your rough tear down, not surprised you didn't lose parts

[@robertking7584]

Welcome back!

[@leonardpaciora5039]

Absolutely love your videos SIR!!!!!!!!

[@deandohertygreaser]

Glad you like them!

[@leonardpaciora5039]

@@deandohertygreaser yes sir!

[@Garageworkshop]

Glad you are back

[@rikkoningen3992]

It's back! Very happy to see the channel restored. Nothing I hate seeing on youtube more than the tesla logo at this point. Here's to a return to normality!

[@jonashermansson2519]

Impressive that Dewalt will provide with individual parts in the gearbox. My Makita drill drivers doesn’t have that. Only complete gearboxes.

[@tony45it]

Glad your back

[@viktor-rp7xl]

The video I been looking for!!!

[@memofrf]

Always useful information. Thank you.

[@oralpierce45]

FYI when I disassemble something for the first time. I use cupcake pans for parts trays. Then I know what parts go in what sequence. And don't have parts left over. Thanks for the great show keep up the good work.

[@hopingforthebest1.9]

Glad you're back Dean! Those scammers are a royal pain

[@dannyhogi4953]

Your so clever make it look so easy

[@ltdan4154]

yessir! i knew you’d get it back! nothing is impossible mate

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

I love to see the 'specialty tool' hack in action. I have always been one for coming up with my own 'specialty' tools.. If there are ones I have to make, sometimes filing down an open ended wrench or shaving the side off one, I'll mark it and save it so I know next time. Great savings! Edit: Looking at this one and all the little pieces, this is ONE tool I'd surely send out to have repaired if it truly meant that much to me. I'd absolutely put her back together 2 or 3 times trying to get the planetary gears aligned properly or in the correct order. Yeah that's a fun one..

[@MrArcticPOWER]

Hammer mode can be useful for smaller holes. Small SDS bits are hard to find and break off really easily. I also hate using a SDS on ceramic tiles, it's just asking for trouble.

[@BobBeament-f7e]

Welcome back

[@leandrofelicio71]

A minha dcd796 ficou assim depois de eu abrir para lubrificação. Obrigado por compartilhar. ❤

[@mbp1646]

Delighted to see you back in Action Dean. Must have been a stressful day. By the way your channel logo is still the Tesla symbol. I assume that is left over from the scammers.

[@sdjnwhyNZ]

[@ElMariachi1337]

welcome back and F the scammers!

[@sergaljesus]

Eyyyy you got your account back! Hell yeah!

[@rodpatient9]

Welcome back Dean, I hope they dealt with the culprits who hacked yor channel!

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

Weird yesterday youtube said your channel was canceled? Im sure glad its not.

[@MrFilimn]

Congrats on getting your channel back Dean, I hope my link I sent you helped. Regards …. Phil

[@deandohertygreaser]

thanks, it all helped

[@Surmoka]

Hammer mode on drills is not useless, it's just for drilling in brix. For concrete, you need a rotary hammer.

[@vickilund7206]

Hackers really are cowards.

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

This one channel I would miss watching! I'm glad deans back

[@prasadvn524]

Seemed to be a Pretty complicated gear box.Nice video

[@patrickcowan8701]

I've drilled to many holes with my DeWalt to know to use my Bosch bulldog. Usually 40+ year old concrete. Hard as my mother in law.

[@georgedavall9449]

This is funny Patrick! 😆

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Immediately - and I mean IMMEDIATELY I reach the tiny cogs everywhere on the bench, it's dustpan and brush and new drill.

[@reynaldomaraguinot2810]

Skeleton chuck..😊 I believe ur genius.to back dis👊👏.

[@martinpedersen4886]

Great video as usual. I have a Makita DHP484 with the same problem. Is it the same principle?

[@refactorear]

Those sponsorship scammers are everywhere unfortunately.

[@deandohertygreaser]

yes, and iv now learned the hard way about them. never knew this could happen to a youtube channel.

[@adaverkerk9904]

Do you fix a makita radio I like makita radios

[@class185]

Is it possible to fit transmission from another drill to this model without hammer mode in order to avoid hammer mode stuck again?

[@5500rpmvtecpower]

Where do you get these parts?

[@brianmurray785]

Hi Dean i have a Milwaukee cordless drill gun C12DD i think it is 2009 ,heres the thing it only works in 1 setting 2 setting slips any idea's.any imformation will be appreciated

[@Bugsyerin5646]

I believe Dewalt has puller for the chuck.

[@robertkovacic4623]

In my opinion, the hammer mode is irrelevant because it makes the machine more fragile, off-center and imprecise for drilling small holes. Maybe useful for an amateur to drill a hole in a brick, etc... for a professional who should also have a real electric hammer drill, the hammer mode on the battery drill is a big minus... both for precision and longevity of the machine. I recently ordered a BS 18 LT BL SE (mid-range and special black edition) in addition to the old Metabo BS 18LTX-3 BL QI and the brand new BS 18 LTX BL QI...and they mistakenly sent me the SB version of this machine with hammer mode.🤨 I wasn't mad, and I ordered another machine, but this time specifically the BS version, because for €113 it's insanely cheap considering that the set has a metal gearbox housing (it can't be seen from the outside) needle bearing planetary gears and double ball bearing chuck shaft,and is Made in Germany😃👍. This machine will be fine for my son - as I said, a hole in the wall here or there - it will be fine for him, but for me... I don't like the thing - it has axial play in the direction of the shaft even when the hammer mode is off.👎 I love your videos-keep it up💪...I watch all of them😁

[@grayphox]

Dean theres a video by Linus Tech Tips called "My Channel Was Deleted Yesterday". They went through what appears to be a very similar scam. Might be an interesting watch

[@thunderstruck1078]

The channel was hacked and changed to look like "Tesla US" channel and was live streaming some crypto giveaway (I mean who gives out crypto like that). They were live-streaming an AI-generated Elon Musk speech in which he promises to pay you double the amount you send to some BTC address. It was obvious from 4000 feet that it was a scam, but who knows, older people fall for stuff like that... I hope you were able to restore everything back to normal, Dean.
