How to repair a Dewalt DCD796 Drill that won't go into reverse, switch repair.

- This Dewalt drill won't change from forward to reverse. Change lever works but drill only runs forward.
This is one iv never seen before but can happen. The little micro wiper inside the switch for forw/rev has snapped in half.
It is more common for the trigger wiper to fail, but that one can also fail.
This is not something you can order in, so this is a repair that you can only do if you have a scrap dewalt laying around. Dosent have to be a drill either, dewalt use this setup in loads of tools. So anything with a forward/rev switch may work.
For the Size, price, power, and reliability of those drills, I actually quite like it.
It's not the most powerful, but it is a good unit for the money.

Damn, I stumble across your channel, 7 hours later I have to get to other things, can't sit here all day and just do youtube. Loves repair channels, gives oneself more confidence and understanding to maybe do repairs on my own tools and try to extend the life of all tools.
I like it when re-assembling everything lines up and that little audible click sounds. A master at work.
Thanks for the warning about the hammer action. I got this and the impact in a set for a song from screwfix a while back ( £149 if I remember correctly). Cheap and cheerful they may be, but I’d rather not abuse them. Nice little set for my woodworking and diy.
Helps me... doesn't matter if I never come across the exact same tool - there's always some new tiny detail I learn from each video I didn't think of before and that may come handy one day
He is good at it....im impressed by speed and already knows problem and repai before you take out the first screw...impressive
I got one of them drills a few weeks ago, iv been using the hammer on it, thanks for the info, i won't be using it anymore.
Thanks for the warning about the hammer drill action. I got a 2021 model, used the hammer a few times but won’t from now on. Thanks once again:)
I honestly use mine pretty hard on sites. Mostly steel work and the occasional 6mm masonry hole.
Paid for itself a few times over already .
Noticed that every now and again when using the hammer action the bit is a bit of a mission to get out the chuck . Will definitely try to use it less for masonry.
Great video! If it only helps 1 person it was very cool of u to make it.
I like my dewalt tools out of over 20 I've only had 3 that had to get repaired.
Amazing video as usual. They get better and better.
It's fascinating how slick you are. First comment too 👌
Thank you Sir
Great video. you are my master!!! Could you ever replace the gearbox in this screwdriver? along with disassembling the gearbox and then putting it all back together? Unfortunately, I can't cope with assembling the gearbox and I need help :(
Interesting why do you say don’t use the hammer? It is not very hammery on my 996 but okay for light weight blocks
Good to know about hammer position and being plastic. Thanks!
Hello there I like your channel very much I can keep watching you forever can you please answering me about why in your opinion you not recommend using the hammerhead on the drill if it is available? Can you do some video regarding your tips and tricks for these kind of things from your experience thank you very much again
How do find the chuck on this? Mine has been starting to become unreleasable. I ended up having to use adjustables to open the chuck
What would couse drill yo bang when stoping on high setting?
I have the same model and will drill for under a minute and then the light just flashes with no rotation. Tried different batteries but no joy. Any tips?
👍👍
I really like my hammer drill but i killed it. The light only flashes
What’s wrong with the hammer design? Find myself using it every now and then. For small one off jobs when I too lazy to fetch the corded
The gearbox is only plastic. The hammer mechanism will heat up and melt into the plastic. Locking the drill in Hammer mode permanently
@@deandohertygreaserdo you think there's anyway to fix this issue? An aftermarket or compatible metal gearbox?
Got the same issue with my dewalt drill, i ain't taking it apart, it'll never work again.
I have a dw996 cordless drill. FWD/REV lever is loose and drill will not run in reverse.
Dean which kinds of sprays did you use to repair the switch?
Now how does youtube know that i own this model ? Mine is almost new and on quick trigger release it makes a cracking noise inside. Is that normal ? This did not make that noise as mine does as if the gears inside as about to break. I think it's the quick stop but i didnt expect it to have a quick selfdestruct function.
Whats the issue specifically with the hammer action on these drills? I own one myself but i mostly use it for making holes
Do you ever sleep? its like 3 in the morning in Ireland
Cordless brush motor tools almost did not fail and were more robust and durable. The brushless ones are delicate and have a lot of electronics.
yeah if you don't see this channel you'll never see a brushed motor fail... except they do all the time so dean is still in business because of them
It was the trigger.
Absolutely nothing to do with a brushless motor muppet
if you ever need the parts soldered back together let me know 👍
Hi Dean, have you had much to do with the newer DCD805 drill? Any known issues?
that makes sense, thanks. @rudyfromsomewhere3066
What's everyone's thoughts on Ryobi vs Dewalt vs Makita vs Mauwakee? Would most Dewalt stuff be more than enough for the average office worker who does some weekend mechanics as a hobby?
Dewalt is one of the best all round brands to go for. Motors are one solid piece like a mileaukee, but the quality is good.
Makita also has a good platform and very good tools amd quality amd repairablity is even better. But a little more expensive.
Ryobi is only DIY, it's OK for light work, but low price low quality.
Milwaukee is known as red ryobi, high priced low quality. But if your on the states it has a 5 year warranty.
@@deandohertygreaser Thanks Dean!- I figured you'd know better than anyone else out there about build quality given your repairs. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
@@deandohertygreaser would ya class erbauer as the same class as Ryobi Dean..DIY only ?
U. R. SO SMART. GAD BLESS YOU
