You have to replace the entire cone assembly that includes the clutch, speed gears and everything. I had to take apart a small Bosch grinder to change out the brushes and the quality was unbelievably obvious compared to a DeWalt grinder I took apart recently.Update.
DeWalt tools are a second-tier product at this point. I purchased two of these drills and the chuck on one of them has already failed in less than six months.
On the contrary, my Milwaukee and Bosch tools have functioned wonderfully even in the face of heavy constant use. Failure rates are simply too high and parts cost are unreasonable.
I recently needed to replace a trigger on a DeWalt 18v drill and the cost was $67.00 just for the trigger, which is three times higher than it should be. I took the drill back to the US and a DeWalt warranty center repaired it at no charge, but I found out that you cannot just replace the chuck when it fails.
Moral of the story: Take care of that chuck, keep it lubed because you cannot afford to replace it.
I purchased this to replace a similar drill, which I wore out after about 5 years of use. It is an excellent drill. Product was shipped quickly. Excellent service from Amazon, as usual.
I've had this drill for about a year and a half now and can't say enough about it. It has handled everything I have given it and doesn't quit. Before buying I shopped at Home Depot and Lowes just to get a feel for the weight, balance, and grip comfort and I can say this drill is tops. It a little loud compared it's competitors, But I love it the way it is, after all it's a "power" tool.
It makes bit changes a snap. These always get used first. We have a lot of drills on the job. It's the best feature. Great power, 3 speeds, locks when you stop. The way it stops when you release the trigger is great. I am buying this to replace one that has been dropped from 15' repeatedly. The old one still works but it has been patched together a few times.
excellent replacement drill. Didn't need case, charger, batteries. Nice to be able to get what you need without buying it all. Shipped quick, nuf said.
